Warning about Playstation 2 online store

[Laibach]

Just saw this on CNET news.

CNET Playstation 2 Link

---

Link corrected.

One more reason we do not allow PS-2 links until the supply situation is normal. Please do not post any other PS-2 links in this thread or on this forum.

Thank you,

Oooops I messed up that link

The Correct Link

 

[UsandThem]

Link that works

Your link did not work. This one does

 

[wjones]

The "https://" is for secure server.

Someone who faxes you the front and back of their credit card doesn't deserve to have one, period.

 

[IronTek]

Yeah...if you're stupid enough to fax your freakn' credit card to a place that claimed to have 15,000 PS2's, you really do deserve what you've got coming to you...

Check this out:

http://www.ps2storeusa.com/stores/PS2USA/images/sign-in-secure-blue-arrow.gif

http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/checkout/sign-in-secure-blue-arrow.gif

The ps2storeusa.com stole Amazon.com's images.

 

[TheDuk]

they stole more than that. The entire layout for their checkout is ripped from amazon (not that I actually placed a legit order)

 

[pheobe]

WTF some ppl will buy this trick? Head shacking.

 

[FatDragonn]

nope, not amazon.

What is on the back of a credit card that will allow someone to steel your identity?????

Free

 

[j00]

good find fatdragon! perfect match

 

[dealmaker]

Damn! I knew it was a scam!!! HAHAHAHAH sorry to laugh but that is too funny. I think you guys deserve a PS2 for finding that! Hahha!

 

[bkakes]

I think my favorite part is the image saying "Get your playstation 2 in time for Chrsitmas".

I mean, I know a lot of people are desperate for a PS2, but I sure as hell wouldn't buy from a company that mispells "Christmas" on their main page.

 

[FatDragonn]

those mofos that set up that site need to spend their time in setting up a site with low low prices and free overnite shipping so we can use it to price match at staples.

 

[Fireman]

The back of your credit card has an authentication code. Some sites are asking for it to verify that you really have the card and not just a number. Not that this site is legit, just a tidbit for you.

hey guys, i know eg@y is banned, but this is interesting.... http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1200003493

 

[joechaos]

Deleted for security reasons

found the link on usenet

 

[isasir]

Uh joechaos, you probably should remove that link ASAP. There's some information on there that probably shouldn't be made public....

 

[android]

This is interesting:

The PS2 Store of America
The Store Is OPEN



You have 849 pending orders
You have 225 orders ready for shipping
View current store activity


But they changed the password, which is good, since all the orders were viewable, which is hardly good security.

They've uesed a estore package from Kurant to quickly build a store. And stolen gifs from Amazon, etc.

Pretty elaborate scam if that is what it is.

 

[SiberianTiger]

haha...that was quite amusing.

 

[godspeed6]

I called earlier to see if these sh!tbags were stupid enough to answer their phone even after the CNET report.

The first call took me to an answering service saying that the mailbox was full "please hang up."

I decided to call again. Hey it's their dime. Some ass answered saying "PS2storeusa, may I help you?" I hope these beatches get hung.

 

[dealmaker]

call the 1800 get informed that the number has changed call 1877-847-7850. You can hear there plea!!!! hahaha not affiliated with the canada store! only problem is the front link says ps2canada!!! Screw them. Someone hack there site for the people!



these are the dumbest people the have a picture of themselves when the committed fraud.
If they aren't the people I feel sorry for them cause they are going to get hated by every ps2'er

[wjones]
