xboxlaptop.tk legit? EDIT: answer = NO!

Post by felted » Thu Oct 30, 2008 3:39 pm

Hello-

I've been traveling a lot for work lately and have been really thinking I would like to get or build a 360 laptop. I've run across this site and wonder if anyone has experience with them. It appears that the image in the site uses one of Ben's laptops. I am leaning towards this being a scam, but want to check with this forum to see if anyone has worked with this Blake C and Tyler W.

Any input is appreciated.

No original pics and false advertising ("Welcome to the only seller of the xboxlaptop!"), 99% chance its a scam.

Totally up-the-butt fake.

They even used a free web provider.

Looks like the old douche from laptopkingz.com again. :roll:

felted - There was a long thread a couple of months ago here about the scamming site claiming to sell such systems. Avoid them.

Yeah, this guy does it:

http://www.benheck.com

:lol:

(seriously, if the price is right, there's a good chance he will... but be warned, you'll be paying a few times more than a good laptop)

ps> you can get online where ever there is internet, and everywhere if u buy a wireless card. The
ac wall adapter is the size of a regular laptop cord, even for the Xtop. All laptops are
very small and very easy to carry around.
Yep, its a scam. The "u can" part is a dead give away. the 13yo did certainly try hard on this one.

Heh, the website is awful, too. How do you use a pre-designed template and still make it look like crap? :lol: That takes a skill of it's own. :roll:

Anyone feel like doing something to the site?

Setting up a few bots and flooding it (the root site) with bandwidth problems?

A quick question: How would this ever be legit? Who would EVER buy off a site like this.
you can get online where ever there is internet
Really? I wouldn't have thought.
Hey, sup?

True... he'd just set up another one in a half hour if we managed to crash his current one...

Everyone email him and act all interested, then last minute decide you don't want it.
