possible deal, possible scam *edit* it’s a scam

[Bears7]

I was not so patiently waiting for the announcement of the mpII to buy my first drone but then I saw an ad for this
Mavic Pro Fly More Combo
Had to pull the trigger on that.

 

[ChopSticks]

The site looks kind of scammy?

Did you already receive the drone?

 

[Bears7]

Nope, just ordered it. If I’m out $300, that stings. If I come into a mp, that sounds good to me

For sure! That website was setup 9 days ago and the seller is not an authorized DJI dealer. Buyer beware.

Hope you paid by credit card

 

[Bears7]

Absolutely. Now I’m anxious to see a tracking number. Either way I’ll report back. Additionally, I’ve been reading this board since thanksgiving in anticipation of getting into the hobby and it’s been a wealth of knowledge. Thanks everybody and I’m sorry my first post might be about the time I got ripped off.

Please post here the results. Looks way too good to be true, but you never know.

There's a sucker born every minute.

It has exactly the same "Terms & Conditions" as the "Drunio" scam last week, which has now closed down. I assume it belongs to the same operator.

Well that’s an interesting turn of events. Didn’t see that scam last week. Order cancelled.

If an offer seems too good to be true then it is a scam. It is always worth putting it to the Forum for other members to check it out before you part with your money, or Credit Card details.

If they have your card #, I'd cancel that - or at least see if the issuer can tighten up fraud alerts/checks.

Already made arrangements, thank you!

lesson learned. At this point I’ll likely wait for the new announcement.

Why do people even bother with these clearly ridiculous scams? Beggars belief

 

[locoman]

hard to believe that some people are still so gullible.

Welcome, Bear. Keep an eye out on Craigslist, I've been seeing lightly used Sparks, Pros and alot of phantoms, may be a good option.

I got my pro off CL brand new in the box, and found a brand new bag, battery, and other stuff. People got these for Christmas and figure out they don't want it.
