Brought a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 512GB off eBay for $1443 Scam?

Hi I brought a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G SM-G988B - 512GB for $1440 off ebay, super cheap but the seller is over a year old Positive Feedback, but has very good feedback.

He is selling more too.

Seems he was hacked? or is a 50% off code person trying to make money? Not sure..

I sent some messages with questions, I'll wait two days see whats up.

Edit: just got a email, Your recent eBay transaction may be from a compromised account
my order is cancelled

    Most recent feedback is over a year old. Caution is strongly advised!

    • do you think they could be doing it once a year?

      • +2

        yes doing the scam once a year

      • Some people make accounts, sell low value item (sometimes to themselves/bots) and then build feedback. You then sell the account to someone.

        Red flags include:

        Positive ones like this:
        Item NOT in described condition! Seller very quick to communicate! Packed well!
        5***e (unregistered)
        More than a year ago

        Neutral ones like this:
        Item not working 100%. I cannot be sure if it was like that or if we caused it.
        c***7 (314)
        More than a year ago

        Don't look legit to me.

    paypal but i think u going to get roasted alive

  • Maybe he works for telstra and gets 50% off?

    • I thought you didn't get those discounts until a few weeks after launch so you dont get the pods+ on top.

        It was like that about 3 years ago, but they changed the policy when they moved to Samsung+ App (quiz to get the discount)
        I just ordered mine last night for 50% RRP (have to buy 5G versions)

        I was thinking if the guy was selling all his work mates ones too and making a commission off them

          do you have any more 50% off codes?

          • @Rukiata: No broski, 1 per person. Used it for a family member.

    • Are you entitled to the buds with the staff purchase?

  • Let us know what colour the brick is lol

  • Did you actually buy it, or you are just bringing us the news?
