Is buying a refurbished Xbox 360 advertised at $34.99 from www.BuyXbox360s.com legitimate?

Question

I am not sure if the site is a scam.

Answer 1

Im guessing it is a scam because refurb 360s are more like in the high 100s or low 200s

hope it helped,

Answer 2

Yeah it smells like a scam because it is too good to be true and because they don't accept paypal. If I were you, I would not risk losing your credit card to this website and if you really want to buy a cheap 360, then finding a store that sell used 360's would be better because like this you can actually return it if there is a problem with it

Answer 3

No, it's not legitimate. This is a scam that's been going on for the last three or four weeks. Each time a site is shut down, they buy a new domain and launch the same site again.

Other sites they've run include 360sforcheap.com, waycheap360.com, refurbishedxbox360s, and several others.

If you paid at any of those sites, cancel your card (or change the number by reporting it as stolen), and dispute the charge before it's too late (maybe you can at least recover the money stolen from you). The main thing is to make sure they can't post any further charges to your card.

Also, file reports at www.ic3.gov and https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ (this was encouraged by the District Attorney's office in my city, when they called about the report I had filed at ic3.gov). He said that this happens all the time, and the number of complaints they get determine what kind of priority the case is given. In fact, it takes quite a few reports to get Federal attention.
