Contacted by a guy under Aim name Zima2009...99% sure this isnt the real zima. He was responding to an add of mine wanting to buy a PS3. Tried to sell for dirt cheap.

If i am incorrect, please correct me on this Zima.

Word to the wise. Anyone randomly contacting you, then claiming all of their privelages have been banned is not someone you should deal with. Make them post in your thread stating you have a deal.

***Mods please look into this

MODNOTE: Duhhhhhhhhh. It's obviously not Zima and everything you're saying should be common sense. Another bit of advice is not to give out your AIM to randoms in the first place. -G

+1 I can also.

Never hurts to have verification that someone is who they say they are. A simple "Hey can you PM me on 2+2 so I know for sure who I'm dealing with?" is very fine, or post in your thread, either way.

I would never do any kind of deal on aim until i was 100% sure who it was. Mods please change thread title aswell, misleading for the real Zima!

Change the title to what? Zima421 doesn't look like Zima2009. The numbers at the end are completely different!

This is just dumb. I fixed your title-

Don't need an entire thread because some random AIM'd you, that's a daily thing here. If you have some actual info post in the negative feedback thread
