    If I were Newtohk, I would give John Luciw - (pronounced as loo chew) a call, he runs / co owns Asiaxpat and inform him of the scammers activity on his site.

    He's a pretty decent guy, so he might be able to dig up IP information that the classified advert was was logged under, any past advertising activity etc etc or extra info that might aid the police, should they be involved...

    Good luck, hope you catch the creep....

    When you can't trust the shady guys on the internet who sells stolen broken PS3s, viagra, nigerian princes, chain mails, profiles on geoexpat/asiaxpat who can you trust?

    When buying used electronics through classifieds...you definitely want to check them out thoroughly. Got bitten on a Honeywell Air Filter back in '99 and learned my lesson!

    40GB Phat? Was it for Jailbreak or Jailbroken? No one buys those consoles unless they plan on using it for piracy and modding multiplayer games to ruin it for other gamers.

    This console was discontinued by Sony for manufacturing flaws so if it is for legit purposes & its not been modified in any way..try calling Sony support and see if they can fix it.

    NEVER buy a USED console (unless you know the person) as it could be banned or flagged for a ban.

    Maybe it worked when he handed it to you and didn't work by the time you got it home and tested it.

    Finished...move on everybody.

    Keep an eye out for what he sells next, get a mate to pretend to be a buyer then beat the crap out of him.

    Jimbo, I know you are joking, but someone new may not know that and talk of what you said could be considered as inciting violence.....

    (Could also get the board itself into trouble......)

    Just saying......

    I bet if it was a European "white guy" and not one of your own, we wouldn't have heard BOO from you.....But, it was one of your own...

    Cop it on the chin PIN, and man up to the fact that one of your brothas did a naughty thing, and is very much in need of a bit of a smack...


    Look at the bright side, HK being a bit of a soft touch, when dodgy PS3 guy is finally caught by HK police, at least he won't lose both of his hands.
