I tried to get scammed on eBay and it did NOT go how I expected... (PART 1)

You guys know I love to call out shady eBay resellers of used Macs and MacBooks, well in today's video I took it one step further and actually BOUGHT one of these shady used MacBooks from eBay, and, well, it wasn't what I expected at all

Forgot to mention this: Even though I was sent a late 2013 MacBook Pro when the listing clearly showed an older Unibody- the claim that their laptops are 'upgraded to current year' or any other such verbiage are still false advertising

[paulmalbroughjr]

I think they may have recognized your name and sent you a better laptop on purpose so you couldn't "expose " them.

Luke miani cant go wrong in buying 2nd hand. He deliberately tried to get scammed and still got lucky. How to be you?

[psivewri]

Gotta love that even when you try to get scammed, you didn't ahaha. I really think they must know about you and sent you a better machine as a result.

you: *buys a macbook on ebay for 2k, gets a windows xp laptop*
this guy: *buys a scam, ends up profiting..*

[xoxoryan]

They must recognized ur address and then switched the device u ordered to avoid further trouble with u if u got that device.

You're the luckiest eBay buyer of Macs on the planet.

[gingerelvis]

I need to set up an ebay account with your name 😂

[pablocalvo]

The seller must have realised the buyer was Luke and sent a good one to get a good review in youtube...

“The dual core intel core i5 is garbage for today’s standards” me cry’s in 2012 MacBook Air with that processor

[JohnPamplin]

Luke, you scammed the scammer! What a deal.

[chrisreynolds]

The whole time I been reading your name as Luke Miami!

It's Luke Miani! I feel like I scammed myself.

[taylormartin]

The suspense is going to kill me waiting for the 2nd video!!!!

[einyoutubenutzer]

The moment when you have too much money so that you let yourself get scammed on purpose

[RowdyGeronimo]

I love these eBay scam videos. This reminds me of that show “how to catch a predator” hahaha. Can’t wait to see what happens! Thanks for this series of videos. Love the channel!

[madameversiera]

Moral of the story, "always buy SCAMS that seem too good to be true" XD

[mikemiles]

Great video, “Detective Luke”. 👍🎥🔍⚖️🤔👏

It's like 1-20% scam rate and 40% rewarding "business" with ebay. The rest is "tired and unpaid people who are working anyway."

[KurisuYamato]

What an interesting development.. can't wait to see how it all plays out. The idea that they possibly recognized that it was you and played the old switcharoo is a very valid one, so seeing what happens if someone else places an order for the same kind of machine will certainly be incredibly telling.

There was an old lady at the Apple store who was talking to me about buying one as I was purchasing an iPad, they showed me the listing and I showed them a good seller, and steered them away from one of those scams. One less customer scammed!
