Run and hide Xodiom! Or prove yourself!

https://www.xodiom.com

In the past I have come across a lot of scammers! I have started to recognize their game. Their patterns. How they steal money from unsuspecting people.

Now here we have Xodiom, who comes out of nowhere with a top spec smartphone at the lowest price I have ever seen!

Here's their catch:
"You may pay for your order via International Wire (Bank) transfer or Bitcoin."

Asking for money by wire transfer is a major red flag scam no no!

These people need to offer credit card payments at the very least! I can't tell you how many Craigslist scammers try to get people to wire money!

https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/cnsum13/wire-transfer-scams.html
"Crooks like their victims to use wire transfers because the money moves fast and they can take the money and run before the victim discovers the truth," explained Michael Benardo, manager of the FDIC's Cyber Fraud and Financial Crimes Section.

Guard your wallets and move along people. Nothing to see here!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The payment methods alone is reason enough to show it's a scam.

I wonder if any bargain hunter already purchased it...

Anyway from the picture the camera front and back looks wrong already.

This scammer has done his research though. Specs are very believable.

The Bitcoin protocol is extremely secure. However, payments are irreversible. You should only use it to make payment to people you trust. It's like handing over cash.

This is an unfortunate example:
