Beware Of Scammers Peddling Goods


Don't fall victim to anyone offering you notebooks, laptops, digital cameras, flat screens or any other electronics or goods on IRC.

A persistent Canadian has earned a very poor reputation and is being accused of offering notebook computers at deep discounts, taking the cash, but never delivering the products.

He advertises the systems in messages he sends to larger channels and sometimes attempts to private message (query) users as well. The offers typically request anyone interested should email him or Instant Message him on AIM, ICQ, MSN, or other Instant Message services.

Don't forget, offers that are too good to be true never are.

If you're in the market for new electronics or computers you can trust the WyldRyde Store which is powered by Amazon.com.
