Scammer ‘Sells’ This Disabled Woman A PS5 For $450 And Never Sends It, So She Decides To Mess Up His Life

Scammer ‘Sells’ This Disabled Woman A PS5 For $450 And Never Sends It, So She Decides To Mess Up His Life

It’s been difficult to get your hands on the new PlayStation 5 since its release. So if someone really wants the console, they have to be open to all kinds of opportunities.

Which is why artist Brittany Everette pursued one that presented itself on Twitter. Or at least she thought it did.

“This guy … reached out to me saying he was selling his PS5 digital edition that his fiancé gifted him because it was the wrong version. He was selling it at the regular price too,” Everette tweeted.

The woman was skeptical at first but he seemed genuine, so she agreed to a 50% down payment and the rest 50% on arrival. And that’s when she realized she was being scammed.

The woman never had any personal interactions with scammers prior to this experience. So for someone without any “formal” training, you gotta give it to Brittany, she’s certainly quick on her feet!

“Surprisingly, the authorities haven’t responded after I reported the scam,” Brittany told Bored Panda. “The only thing I’ve received are confirmations that my reports/complaints were filed.”

She said the reaction her thread has received was overwhelmingly supportive. “I had no idea my story would reach this many people. The amount of love and positivity has been truly incredible.”

Even though she got her money back, Brittany still doesn’t have a PS5. “I’ve tried every restock at Target, Walmart, Amazon, GameStop, Sony, and Best Buy with no luck,” she explained. “Bots buy entire stocks out within seconds then resell them for over $1,000. I really want one, but it’s starting to seem impossible (this is me asking if Sony wants to send me a PS5 digital edition).”

And she isn’t alone in this situation. Sony has created one of the hottest gadgets of recent years in the PlayStation 5, but its launch has been spoiled by scalpers who are buying up scarce supplies and threatening the long-term health of the company’s most important product.

Scalpers, who buy the PS5 at retail and then resell at a higher price, have long been a challenge in the gaming business. But the problem at this particular time is even bigger since the coronavirus has squeezed production and pushed more console sales online — where scalpers use sophisticated bots to buy up the PlayStation 5 (and the new Microsoft Xbox).

These bots constantly monitor online stores for changes in inventory and supplies, then automatically place orders and check out in seconds when the goods become available. The technique is based on familiar web-crawling or scraping technology, but specifically tailored for e-commerce and can sometimes jump to the front of order queues.

A console’s debut is planned to set off a virtuous cycle of consumers rushing to buy the devices, while developers release games that capitalize on new graphics and processor capabilities, increasing the demand on both sides.

“The PlayStation 5 could miss a critical chance to get into a good hardware-software upward spiral,” said Kazunori Ito of Morningstar Research. “The peak of the platform will likely be low and the platform’s total revenue earned won’t be as strong as we hoped for.”

As for Brittany, she isn’t ashamed she got herself into this mess and thinks other people shouldn’t be too. “At the same time, don’t let the scammers/scalpers get away with it! Hold them accountable for the terrible way they’re treating people,” she added.

People think Brittany handled the situation like a pro

But I doubt if any scammer will file a complaint or report you to the police. Criminals generally aren't too keen on contacting the police.

I don't know how she was able to know that the new twitter handles were for the same individual. Also, how did she find the e-mails of his fiance? This kind of information doesn't seem like something you could get from a simple internet search.

A long-time friend of mine (and most decidedly not a Nazi, as his father and his family fled Germany to get away from those vermin) spent his career as a USPS lawyer. His work motto was that of Bruce Banner aka The Incredible Hulk--"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Idk, I’m not convinced the bank AND Apple Pay would be unable to do anything. Also I get that ps5s are currently not in stock, but I sure as hell wouldn’t buy one off a stranger for basically a new price. I mean, f**k scammers, and if this story is true she was just trying to help a guy out. But you gotta be super wary of this stuff.

I know this was ages ago but I can answer your question. Blue Text Bubbles mean when the person is using iPhone to iPhone. Green Bubbles mean an iPhone user is texting to an android user so if the author used Apple Pay it should have been blue text bubbles.

What we really need is some kind of organisation that would look into scams and other frauds like this with a view to getting things either back to how they should be (ie money back) and/or getting them into court. If such an organisation existed they could be given legal powers to actually take people away from their homes to ask them questions. To make it fair they could have, say, a lawyer or something? Anyway, it's a shame nothing like that exists..

Everyone thinking it's fake making judgments that there's holes in the story, this doesn't sound right, how'd she do this and that – not realizing you're only getting the gist of the story, not every detail. That's why it's not perfectly clear to you how she did it.

So that we’ll disregard her bad decision to foolishly send the 2nd/final payment? To me it reads as: being disabled makes/made her profoundly more sensitive (than the rest of us) to his sick daughter therefore, it excuses her bad decision, and any judgements about the bad decision are unacceptable. Emotional manipulation, which is one of the reasons I doubt the story. Sharing that she took Ativan is equally irrelevant to the story but sharing both these things may be intended to “check the boxes” relating to any special/protected classes, which (for some) makes her above reproach. As though anyone who reveals their skepticism is attacking their disability/race/gender, etc. Those with dissenting opinions are often treated with contempt and, to sharer & those who agree with/support sharer, is a justifiable. For some, it’s okay to be hateful but it’s not okay to respectfully disagree.

i loved this! i don't know if anyone else in the 90s got a phone call regarding a bill that was looong overdue to the tune of a couple of hundred dollars but i did. the guy was so official sounding regarding the legal issues i would face if not paying. so, that was when i told him that i was an officer of the court via the district attorney's office (which was true) so i would like to speak to a supervisor regarding the statute of limitations of such a claim. he said he would have someone call me and then...never heard another thing.

RIGHT ON LADY. So if everyone could pull this off it would be great. I was scammed on my debit card and the bitch thought I still lived at the area code on my phone which was attached to the information. What the bitch didn't know was I had moved and she lived in the same city as me now. So when she called Better Buy and bought a 600 dollar camera on my card, she did the STUPID THING Best Buy does which is let ANYONE pick it up. BUT since the Best Buy she chose was ten minutes from me I went down there and showed them the fraudulent use of my card, and my email from my bank they gave me a copy of her State I.D. with name and address. I went to P.D. and showed them all the evidence including her name and address, my emails and bank info and in this state over 500 is a felony. SO I got to follow them the next morning when they went to her apt and after she answered and tried to lie and say it wasn't her they showed her a copy of her license and picture and then she (continued below

tried to bolt and they grabbed her. They did not show me to her as boyfriend was linebacker large and not the same color as me. They said here is the camera can she be released and the cops said NO. Since the amount was now a felony she would be arraigned and bail set. So she got bailed out according to cops and they asked if I would testify and I said yes but she took a plea, did 20 out of 30 days. Got my money back and Best Buy got their camera back as the money had been taken out of their account by my bank.

This article describes how "regular shoppers" will get so disgusted with not being able to buy hot items. I can see this as the potential demise of online shopping for those types of items. Anyone who figures out how to identify and stop scalper/scraper purchases will make bank.

The online retailers know. Who else would buy up their entire stock of an in-demand item the second it's available? It isn't that they can't identify the scalpers, it's that they don't care. It's all money in their pockets.

Same thing happened to me but I trace their IP and was able to find his location and kicked their door (figuratively or or not is up for you to decide). Called the local PD and told them what was up and they helped me get my money back. Dude had TONS of consoles just sitting in his living room which were confiscated by the PD as they had been purchased using stolen money from various people.

Way back in early 2000s, I had a pricey Graco stroller that eventually was recalled 2 years later for a fast fix-it part. Prior to the recall, as a first time mom who invested in a "good" stroller to last, the stroller was bending and tilting. This happened just outside the 90 day Babies R Us return time and there was no extended warranty to buy. I contacted Babies R Us, Toy R Us, and Graco, and everyone said so sad, too bad, buy a new one. I was pissed off. I gathered every single email address I could find. All my local, state, and national consumer television anchors, advocacy rights groups, stay at home groups, BBB, and Fight Back with David Horowitz (which had long been off the air). I called Toys R Us & Graco corporate and weaseled the email addresses for corporate officers, HR, charity outreach, and executives! I tailored a polite, but very disgruntled first time buyer disappointed mass email listing every single person and entity openly on the email and as a written list

of CC at the bottom of the list. A few days later, I was CCd on a reply from the President of Graco to one of the executives at Toys R Us asking them to "please take care of this for Us"! A little while later, I received an email from Toys R Us asking for information to send me a replacement, even more expensive, stroller. Those were the only replies I received to sending out an email with over 100 addresses!! This was long before Facebook, Twitter, and Instashaming!

It's a lot easier than scammers think to track them down online. I commented about scammers in India in another post and got downvoted for it. There's people that track down scammers for a living and post videos about it on YouTube. Some of them are pretty entertaining because they hack into the scammers' video cameras and actually watch them.

You're not too bright, seemingly. You'd be surprised what you can find about people on directory and genealogy websites. As for OP's saying "bc" and "sheesh" making her a 12-year-old girl... hardly. I'm 35, and both are part of my standard vocabulary & have been for years. So *I* call BS on *your* stupidity, because not only are you lousy at estimating somebody's age, you clearly have no idea how much info you give up - or your parents give up about you! - every day of your life. Good luck if you ever develop a stalker, you'll never get away from them if you're truly so naive about what folk can find on the web about you.

I was looking to do some extra work when I received a letter from the postman I had to sign for. upon opening it there was a check for 2,900 dollars ,there was a detailed letter with it explaining what the job was about and what I was to use the money for. So I thought it was okay thinking because of me having to sign for it, it had to be okay. I took the check to the bank asked them if it was okay they said it was. so I took the money did what I was told to. Then the very next afternoon the manager calls me from the bank and tells me it was all a scam. So right now I am paying the bank back because of it. It is called secret shoppers it's all a fraud.

It's not surprising to me that the authorities had not responded. There are even laws which keep all sorts of crooks in business, and no layer will touch them. When you sign a contract, you lose, even though you proved that all the information in that contract is willful lie. So what is a consumer to do? Hire a lawyer to check anything before signing any written agreement? Thank you The Department of Injustice.

You are my hero! I just get pissed an tell the person that whatever, had better be delivered within the week, ( after waiting over a month or two in non pandemic times) and if it isn’t, I will a take them to court, make sure no one ever buys this from them again, file fraud charges with internet fraud companies and the FBI, etc. etc. . Usually that get the point across. I am also like a dog with a juicy bone and can find out what ever I need to also, and make sure they know this. And then I add, and I am u able to work, and all I have is time, to make their lives miserable, so pay up, or send the product. Thank you very much.

It takes a bit of know-how, yeah, but it's not that hard once you have it. The original permalink to any tweet stays valid even when the user changes the name of that account (he'd have done better just to make a whole new one, less traceable). If you have someone's phone number, or their social media identities, and they use the latter the way most folk do, you can usually find their state or city, and through the linked accounts find their relatives on sites like Ancestry. From there, you can find newspaper reports, obituaries, marriage announcements, and if you're in the UK the electoral roll will tell you the address most recently used by them or their family to register to vote ... It's shockingly easy, for someone used to the internet and with any experience at all in genealogy, to trace people.

Yes, it was legal. Read the comment section for details on the legality of her "lawyer thing", some people have explained it very clearly. I don't know about you, but $450 is more than a month's rent for me. Hell yes I'd go that far to get it back if I'd somehow managed to save up that much. No, just because people use it to "play" things doesn't make a PS5 a "toy". It's an expensive, & difficult to replace, technological item. If her life is anything like mine - I'm chronically ill & a gamer, too - gaming might be one of the few hobbies she can engage in on a bad day. I'm often bedbound & my gaming console (though I cannot afford a PS5 - I'm still on a PS3) helps stop me going mad with pain, frustration, boredom & isolation. Who's to say it's not the same for her? Personally, I'd say you have more "issues to work through" than she does, Dianne - like your unwarranted ageism toward & denigration of gamers, & the other part of your attitude problem here, which verges on ableist.

There's scammers in india buffering their phone numbers with the Vanilla Visa Gift Card Help Hotline I'm a victim and use gift cards alot cause I can't do online banking cause I'm disabled too! What they do is they hack/buffer the Vanilla Visa Gift Card Help Hotline and ask for your card's full card number and pin then they quickly before you use your card take all your money on your Vanilla Visa Gift Card into their paypal account! I only have one paypal and it's anime themed name btw but this scammer's paypal was one from I could tell india I lost $150! I was gonna use it on buying an older game console! I like older consoles

I seriously doubt this is all true, just like a lot of others here have stated as well. Right from the title of the article: "...so she agreed to a 50% down...50% on arrival. And that’s when she realized she was being scammed." Um, actually no, no she didn't realise until after the lack of a response from him and after she had already sent all the funds to him so that's not true. And why the mention of being disabled? At the very least it's to minimize people questioning her story, or maybe it was to be used as a shield against the inevitable "How did you fall for this TWICE?" queries that were sure to come. Then there's the over-share about Ativan, all the "All I know is pain." dramatics. Plus I'm not positive but I don't think a name and an email address gets you the kind of information she claims to have gained from it. It's just not that simple, or legal either. But it was the "Hey SONY, you should send me a PS5 for this." that sealed it for me. Ah well, cute story though.

Clearly, you haven't the faintest clue about just how much information you give away on and offline every day. If I knew your Instagram or Facebook username, I could probably tell you your birthdate and your parents' names for a start, and that without even going into the paid reverse-phone-number or directory websites.

If this is even true, sure he did a awful thing but the so called victim's disability aside and other things who ever decides to buy things from a stranger without any legal guiding and platforms and uses cringe memes to communicate YOU SURE DO DESERVE TO BE SCAMMED!!! AS A MATTER OF FACT PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF ORDER SO NORMAL PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SCAMS, BECAUSE BRAINDEAD IDIOTS LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON WHY EVIL PEOPLE EVEN EXIST!!! You both did illegal things and both of you deserve to be locked up! So I would never really be stupid enough to even share this story as a trophy of some kind.

While I commend her energy, cleverness, and initiative, she reminds me of a baseball pitcher who walks a batter, commits an error, walks another, then strikes out the side to get out of danger. Lots of adrenaline, lots of posturing, but it would have been easier to not let herself get conned in the first place. I'm glad she got her money back, don't get me wrong.

LOVE SPELL FOR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AND MARRIAGE WHATSAPP +19085174108 I am here to share with you my life experience on how a great man called Dr. Jumba saved me and my marriage. I have been Married & Barren for 5 years and I had no child. I have never been pregnant. I was a subject of laughter from my Friends & neighbors, I almost lost my marriage because of this issue. I was so confused that i did not know what to do until i came across this great Dr online and i contacted him at once i was scared weather it was going to work because i never believed things like this before, so i decided to give it a try and I did all what Dr jumba asked of me and today to my greatest surprise i took in the first time and I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and now my marriage that was about crashing before is now restored. My husband now love and want me better, Am so happy for everything that have been happening in my life since i met this Dr jumba .I want to tell all the women/men out there who

If such an organisation existed they could be given legal powers to actually take people away from their homes to ask them questions. To make it fair they could have, say, a lawyer or something?

So that we’ll disregard her bad decision to foolishly send the 2nd/final payment? To me it reads as: being disabled makes/made her profoundly more sensitive (than the rest of us) to his sick daughter therefore, it excuses her bad decision, and any judgements about the bad decision are unacceptable. Emotional manipulation, which is one of the reasons I doubt the story. Sharing that she took Ativan is equally irrelevant to the story but sharing both these things may be intended to “check the boxes” relating to any special/protected classes, which (for some) makes her above reproach. As though anyone who reveals their skepticism is attacking their disability/race/gender, etc. Those with dissenting opinions are often treated with contempt and, to sharer & those who agree with/support sharer, is a justifiable. For some, it’s okay to be hateful but it’s not okay to respectfully disagree.

RIGHT ON LADY. So if everyone could pull this off it would be great. I was scammed on my debit card and the bitch thought I still lived at the area code on my phone which was attached to the information. What the bitch didn't know was I had moved and she lived in the same city as me now. So when she called Better Buy and bought a 600 dollar camera on my card, she did the STUPID THING Best Buy does which is let ANYONE pick it up. BUT since the Best Buy she chose was ten minutes from me I went down there and showed them the fraudulent use of my card, and my email from my bank they gave me a copy of her State I.D. with name and address. I went to P.D. and showed them all the evidence including her name and address, my emails and bank info and in this state over 500 is a felony. SO I got to follow them the next morning when they went to her apt and after she answered and tried to lie and say it wasn't her they showed her a copy of her license and picture and then she (continued below

tried to bolt and they grabbed her. They did not show me to her as boyfriend was linebacker large and not the same color as me. They said here is the camera can she be released and the cops said NO. Since the amount was now a felony she would be arraigned and bail set. So she got bailed out according to cops and they asked if I would testify and I said yes but she took a plea, did 20 out of 30 days. Got my money back and Best Buy got their camera back as the money had been taken out of their account by my bank.

This article describes how "regular shoppers" will get so disgusted with not being able to buy hot items. I can see this as the potential demise of online shopping for those types of items. Anyone who figures out how to identify and stop scalper/scraper purchases will make bank.

The online retailers know. Who else would buy up their entire stock of an in-demand item the second it's available? It isn't that they can't identify the scalpers, it's that they don't care. It's all money in their pockets.

Same thing happened to me but I trace their IP and was able to find his location and kicked their door (figuratively or or not is up for you to decide). Called the local PD and told them what was up and they helped me get my money back. Dude had TONS of consoles just sitting in his living room which were confiscated by the PD as they had been purchased using stolen money from various people.

Way back in early 2000s, I had a pricey Graco stroller that eventually was recalled 2 years later for a fast fix-it part. Prior to the recall, as a first time mom who invested in a "good" stroller to last, the stroller was bending and tilting. This happened just outside the 90 day Babies R Us return time and there was no extended warranty to buy. I contacted Babies R Us, Toy R Us, and Graco, and everyone said so sad, too bad, buy a new one. I was pissed off. I gathered every single email address I could find. All my local, state, and national consumer television anchors, advocacy rights groups, stay at home groups, BBB, and Fight Back with David Horowitz (which had long been off the air). I called Toys R Us & Graco corporate and weaseled the email addresses for corporate officers, HR, charity outreach, and executives! I tailored a polite, but very disgruntled first time buyer disappointed mass email listing every single person and entity openly on the email and as a written list

of CC at the bottom of the list. A few days later, I was CCd on a reply from the President of Graco to one of the executives at Toys R Us asking them to "please take care of this for Us"! A little while later, I received an email from Toys R Us asking for information to send me a replacement, even more expensive, stroller. Those were the only replies I received to sending out an email with over 100 addresses!! This was long before Facebook, Twitter, and Instashaming!

It's a lot easier than scammers think to track them down online. I commented about scammers in India in another post and got downvoted for it. There's people that track down scammers for a living and post videos about it on YouTube. Some of them are pretty entertaining because they hack into the scammers' video cameras and actually watch them.

You're not too bright, seemingly. You'd be surprised what you can find about people on directory and genealogy websites. As for OP's saying "bc" and "sheesh" making her a 12-year-old girl... hardly. I'm 35, and both are part of my standard vocabulary & have been for years. So *I* call BS on *your* stupidity, because not only are you lousy at estimating somebody's age, you clearly have no idea how much info you give up - or your parents give up about you! - every day of your life. Good luck if you ever develop a stalker, you'll never get away from them if you're truly so naive about what folk can find on the web about you.

I was looking to do some extra work when I received a letter from the postman I had to sign for. upon opening it there was a check for 2,900 dollars ,there was a detailed letter with it explaining what the job was about and what I was to use the money for. So I thought it was okay thinking because of me having to sign for it, it had to be okay. I took the check to the bank asked them if it was okay they said it was. so I took the money did what I was told to. Then the very next afternoon the manager calls me from the bank and tells me it was all a scam. So right now I am paying the bank back because of it. It is called secret shoppers it's all a fraud.

When you sign a contract, you lose, even though you proved that all the information in that contract is willful lie. So what is a consumer to do? Hire a lawyer to check anything before signing any written agreement? Thank you The Department of Injustice.

Usually that get the point across. I am also like a dog with a juicy bone and can find out what ever I need to also, and make sure they know this.

It takes a bit of know-how, yeah, but it's not that hard once you have it. The original permalink to any tweet stays valid even when the user changes the name of that account (he'd have done better just to make a whole new one, less traceable). If you have someone's phone number, or their social media identities, and they use the latter the way most folk do, you can usually find their state or city, and through the linked accounts find their relatives on sites like Ancestry. From there, you can find newspaper reports, obituaries, marriage announcements, and if you're in the UK the electoral roll will tell you the address most recently used by them or their family to register to vote ... It's shockingly easy, for someone used to the internet and with any experience at all in genealogy, to trace people.

Yes, it was legal. Read the comment section for details on the legality of her "lawyer thing", some people have explained it very clearly. I don't know about you, but $450 is more than a month's rent for me. Hell yes I'd go that far to get it back if I'd somehow managed to save up that much. No, just because people use it to "play" things doesn't make a PS5 a "toy". It's an expensive, & difficult to replace, technological item. If her life is anything like mine - I'm chronically ill & a gamer, too - gaming might be one of the few hobbies she can engage in on a bad day. I'm often bedbound & my gaming console (though I cannot afford a PS5 - I'm still on a PS3) helps stop me going mad with pain, frustration, boredom & isolation. Who's to say it's not the same for her? Personally, I'd say you have more "issues to work through" than she does, Dianne - like your unwarranted ageism toward & denigration of gamers, & the other part of your attitude problem here, which verges on ableist.

What they do is they hack/buffer the Vanilla Visa Gift Card Help Hotline and ask for your card's full card number and pin then they quickly before you use your card take all your money on your Vanilla Visa Gift Card into their paypal account! I only have one paypal and it's anime themed name btw but this scammer's paypal was one from I could tell india I lost $150! I was gonna use it on buying an older game console! I like older consoles

I seriously doubt this is all true, just like a lot of others here have stated as well. Right from the title of the article: "...so she agreed to a 50% down...50% on arrival. And that’s when she realized she was being scammed." Um, actually no, no she didn't realise until after the lack of a response from him and after she had already sent all the funds to him so that's not true. And why the mention of being disabled? At the very least it's to minimize people questioning her story, or maybe it was to be used as a shield against the inevitable "How did you fall for this TWICE?" queries that were sure to come. Then there's the over-share about Ativan, all the "All I know is pain." dramatics. Plus I'm not positive but I don't think a name and an email address gets you the kind of information she claims to have gained from it. It's just not that simple, or legal either. But it was the "Hey SONY, you should send me a PS5 for this." that sealed it for me. Ah well, cute story though.

If I knew your Instagram or Facebook username, I could probably tell you your birthdate and your parents' names for a start, and that without even going into the paid reverse-phone-number or directory websites.

AS A MATTER OF FACT PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF ORDER SO NORMAL PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SCAMS, BECAUSE BRAINDEAD IDIOTS LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON WHY EVIL PEOPLE EVEN EXIST!!!

LOVE SPELL FOR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AND MARRIAGE WHATSAPP +19085174108 I am here to share with you my life experience on how a great man called Dr. Jumba saved me and my marriage. I have been Married & Barren for 5 years and I had no child. I have never been pregnant. I was a subject of laughter from my Friends & neighbors, I almost lost my marriage because of this issue. I was so confused that i did not know what to do until i came across this great Dr online and i contacted him at once i was scared weather it was going to work because i never believed things like this before, so i decided to give it a try and I did all what Dr jumba asked of me and today to my greatest surprise i took in the first time and I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and now my marriage that was about crashing before is now restored. My husband now love and want me better, Am so happy for everything that have been happening in my life since i met this Dr jumba .I want to tell all the women/men out there who
