Sorry not a great first post but like many others I joined to help narrow my search for a MIG welder!
- Actually I think this extends well beyond welders but that's where I found it.
..... WOW - on Amazon, a "used" Rtech Inverter MIG - normal cost 4-500 quid on at £220 - pass me the Credit card!... BUT when you look at it, the supplier (using a phished amazon acc that changes daily) has this :
"X-MAX OFFERS!!!The product was used only for advertising purposes in my store, and the price is so low because has been unpacked-,full warranty, full accessories New,never,used-Before buying let me know here Negoce#computer4u,com (please change the # to @) « Show less "
So the scam is to get you to give them a CC payment outside of Amazon. Then no product.
With my scammer alarm going off, a search on that text brings up a lot of examples of it and several forum discussions
Hope that helps someone avoid being scammed and promise to post interesting noob questions when I get a MIG welder
