Netbook 10" for U$165

[matkokubko]

I have received an email from a chinesse company saying that they sell a netbook 10" for U$165.

Does anybody has an experience with offers like this.

Is it a scam or will I get a functionality quality built netbook?

10" LCD 1024x600
1.6GHz VIA C-7M, 400MHz FSB
80GB HDD 2.5" SATA
512MB RAM
integrated video unichrome pro II
802.11b/g
ethernet 10/100Mbps
card reader
Linux with other SW or extra charge for Windows XP
3-cell battery

Email contains 'china factory address' as well as Hong Kong office

Wrong forum.

[nounou23]

Can you copy/paste the email? Is there a link to the product?

If it's true, I want in too!
But it's hard to believe it's true. Even if it's a Chinese knock-off, it's still too cheap!

did you email them asking for information? no? then it's a scam. on the interwebs we call that spam.

[matkokubko]

I have not emailed them back as I wanted to get some idea from the forum first.

Below is the email. I cleared all info on them so nobody can accuse that I'm promoting them. I'm 100% unrelated.

I think, I received the email because, I'm registered on alibaba.com

I'm afraid, it's a scam. Too good to be true. If it's true, Canada Computers/Factory direct/..... would start selling it

:|:|.......lots of grammatical errors....which usually mean scam

Just don't pay by Western Union or anything other than credit card or paypal. Usually scams include WU payments.

[matkokubko]

I was just looking at the payment method they take....

only
1/ transfer wire to their china bank account
2/ western union

[Triad]

Look no further... Can you see SCAM plastered all over? ;)

I don't usually discredit ads with grammatical errors, especially from wholesalers because they are mostly from China. However, the payment methods are a dead givaway. If they accepted credit card or Paypal I might have given a 2nd thought to it - right now, it's a 100% scam.

Too bad, I was looking for a nice web bool.

[hehehaha]

scam.....in the retail stores, the netbooks are more expensive in china than canada.....

[randomdef]

as a side note, most things you order from China tend to only us WU or a wire transfer. Also, this is not an atom based book, so i can see it being cheaper but...again, if it was unsolicited then don't do it.

[felixmo]

this email has scam written all over it

[Triad]

It has something to do with paypal not being allowed to accept payments or something in China.

Can you talk about it more? Such as payment method, where'd you order it from and other valuable information?

[Jalal]
