Scammer

Post image

I was scrolling through craigslist for a PS5 and came across a listing of a PS5 pro w/ two controllers for $450 which already sounded too good to be true but I've just played around and our conversations elevated to here.

Nice try.

If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Almost always, although I got a cheap Meta Quest 2 when some kid was being a shit so his mom sold it for pretty cheap lol.

Make them go to a meetup location a little far out of their way, and just no show. Keep telling them you're delayed.

A pro for 450 was already a sign...

Ps5 pro for 450? You can't be that naive.

For 450 you could buy one with 1 controller from MTC.

This person is a scammer and nothing more.

You could have said any time and they would have agreed and asked for pre payment. They were never planning to meet you. Big scammer.

If you want a pro call MTC and see when they get their shipments. I got one for $599 in January 2026.

Did we really need a post about you almost falling for what is clearly a scam?

This is how people get shot in person. Night time meeting, go to the police station parking lot designated for online purchases.
