Two scammers in one day

So I'm attempting to buy an iPad to use it to show clients photos, instead of printing portfolios. So I turn to good ol' craigslist. Got 2 scam replies. I see they are getting more clever. lol.
#1:
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, but someone already bought the iPad and
picked it up. You might want to try and buy one where I bought mine at. It's
an auction site kind of like ebay that has quite a few iPads.
I am usually able to pick them up there between $130 and $160, I think it's so
cheap because the site is newer and there aren't many bidders yet. Anyways,
I'd recommend you shop there if your still in need of an iPad. The site is
called BIDSAROO.com. I just checked and it looks like they have one
ending soon and the bid is at $53 so far.
When I signed up they gave me this coupon to give to friends, but I haven't used
it yet. Your more than welcome to use it, but I think it expires tomorrow. It's
good for placing some free bids on any auction. The coupon is: free3042
Hope this helps you!
-Chad
P.S. Here is a little secret I'll pass on to you. Right now there is a glitch/hack
on the site that will allow you to block other people from bidding on the item.
When you place a bid, hold down the enter key until the auction counts down to 0.
This should allow you to win any auction instantly. But I'm not sure how long it
last, I'm sure the site is working on fixing the glitch/hack.

Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 64GB 3G iPad from Craigslist
My name is Arianna and I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
I am selling the ipad for $450 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
The ipad is still available and I hope you are still interested. The ipad was bought brand new from Apple a few weeks ago.
About the ipad I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks. Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad.
The ipad is here with me.
I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it.
Please get back to me and let me know if you like the ipad if you're really interested in buying it.
Thanks,
Arianna

"Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad"
Your $450 gets you *only* what came with the iPad, not the iPad itself.
"the ipad is here with me"
They're just hoping you'll skim over that since it doesn't really make any sense, not until you get the first part anyway...
Deception is fraud, so even though it doesn't say you're actually buying an iPad what they're doing is against the law.

Well also I am in nyc so how would she sell it to me if she's in England?

The fact they claim to be in the uk, yet price in usd is a bit of a giveaway to be honest.

gotta disagree on that, many user on xda for example put USD and EURO even tho they are in the UK. i do that on Ebay also.

Not being able to do it in person is generally a red flag for me that it's a scam. I couldn't care less if the message comes from the Queen of England.

If you're on the fence about getting one, this might sway you.

wow they shot down in price, i paid nearly £400 for mine when it first came out, if phone companies kept prices low like this on initial release I think they would have more sales.

TBH, I wanna wait until it drops down a bit more. Baring in mind that this was £315 on Expansys just one month ago, the price has been sliced more and more every week. This is a heavily underrated phone overshadowed by SGS2 and Sensation and I expect it to crash down to the sub £200 barrier.
The question though is: When?

I don't think it will any time soon. Next year maybe?

I am afraid even at that price with no 2.3 on-board and no sign of an upgrade any time soon then it's still a no go from me.

I grabbed one off Expansys yesterday - can't wait to slap on a CM7 nightly when it arrives

XD guys wait for that MIUI phone, it is so cool and preorder will be only 310$ (1999Y - chinese money, I don't have Yen sign xD). But only China for now, I guess...

Help me lol Hard decision

Hey I'm kind of considering trading my gs2 skyrocket for a nokia n9 64 gb either in black or blue.
I know I'm forsaking LTE and android, but honestly the n9 does everything I need it to do in a simpler and more battery efficient manner, as well as having a superior design and more compact size. Also lack of apps isn't a big deal to me I don't game on my phone beyond the occasional angry birds.
So anyone in the Los Angeles/Glendale area wanna do this trade?
Some of your thoughts on this would be nice.
I could also sell my gs2 skyrocket to some in the aforementioned area for like 500$ ish I guess with my accessories then buy the n9 off like amazon or something, ebay maybe.

500 is a good price you are getting, they sell for 350-400 on xda marketplace..

Blurex Cases With Keyboard

Recently I emailed Blurex. I knew from the other post here that they would be making cases for the N7 and I wanted to know if they would make a case with a BT Keyboard like the one I had previously. I also decided to have a little fun with them because they usually love this as it breaks up the boredom of their crappy jobs. Here is the conversation.
My letter:
Name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Company Name:U.S. Air Force
Company Url:We INVENTED the Internet!(with help from Al Gore)
Message: Hello! I love your cases and have purchased by my admittedly
completely inaccurate estimate at least 2 million of them. I am wondering if
you would be making a case for my shiny new Google Nexus 7(which apparently
will never ship). I would be particularly interested in one which had your
awesome Bluetooth Keyboard bundled with it!

The reply:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
You are a fantastic writer! You really get your personality through. Thank you 2 million times over for a great e-mail, and o-yah, your interest in our products. We are making a cased for your never been shipped(but will surely get to you)Nexus 7. I do apologize, but it will not be a keyboard case.
I will be sure to keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Alex

So it seems for any of you who like me were hoping for a nice Blurex KB Case you will not get one, but they will at least be making cases

This thread could have easily been added to the existing blurex thread. Please post there.

Man oh man, a case like that Xoom one for the N7 would be amazing. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Sadly they woin't be making it. BUT they have released THIS bad boy here!
An XDA user spotted it. It's probably an incorrect price but for 6 dollars including shipping, it's a no brainer! I bought 2 and they are shipping!

Suh-weet. How is that really nice case on 6 bucks AFTER shipping? Doesn't matter. I got myself one before they realized how much money they've gotta be losing, haha. Nice find, man.

well it was originally listed at $299.99, was supposed to be $29.99. They went back and fixed it to say $4.06 now. Guess they've been drinking! Or maybe a couple people accidentally bought at 299 and they felt bad so they gave a steep discount for a time.

Are there any non-Amazon sources of Blurex?

Isn't that with VAT included? if it is if you subtract it. It may be cheaper than the one sold in the US.

Mobile Fun have said this is Samsung's price, but I cannot see that being right considering it is only $69.99 in the US. That's equivalent to around £50 in the UK.
I may go for this on eBay...

Nice

I went and looked in various shops in my local town yesterday, including the Samsung shop. None had it, although a couple were at pains to say that there was no difference whilst trying to sell me the old S6 flat model, including in the Samsung shop. I also had a Samsung representative on the S7 stand in Carphone Warehouse insist the S7 and S7 Edge screens are 4K. After a couple of minutes telling him they weren't I ended up suggesting he read up on his own company's products before trying to sell them. I'm sure it was the first thing he did when I left the shop.

This one says "fast charge"

and outputs 5-9v and 1000ma (a bit low IMO, wired chargers are 2000 or 3000 ma
The USA new angled "fast charge" charger does not mention the output volts and amps.
