Just a note to warn people off " add.ie " AKA "Irish Free Classifieds"
The electronics section ( Cameras, phones, TVs, game consoles etc.) is littered with ads from scam artists offering stuff at unbelievable prices. As always if it sounds too good to be true etc........

Are the photos of their offices real? or are they taken from other online sites?

triv88

It is not a real pic of this place thats for sure.There is no reception area at all or other staff to see

you ring a doorbell,speak to the guy through the intercom,he unlocks the main door and brings you into this empty landing area,all smiles,gives you a receipt,takes your machine,and then retreats through a back door like a trapdoor spider

Hi,

This is the owner of add.ie here and I'd like to exercise the right to reply. As a free to list site (and one of the largest in Ireland) it is a challenge to moderate all ads at all times, however we do moderate ads on a daily basis....some get through as is the case even with the paid sites in Ireland. On a daily basis we delete many ads and review all registrations. The vast majority of advertisements on the site are genuine.

We encourage everyone to exercise due caution when replying to ads, and we have a knowledgebase here - http://www.add.ie/pg-help.html

Please report any ads you feel are dubious to addteam@add.ie and we will delete where appropiate.

Regards
Alan

Just a warning on these guys.
Do NOT even think of buying anything from them!Prices ARE too good to be true and if you send them money through Western Union you can say goodbye to it!
The website looks professional but its all just one big scam!
Just letting everyone know before someone gets burnt.;)

donmeister

In fairness if your buying a N97 brand new online for $295 using Western Union and don't kop something is up, you deserve to be scammed tbh.

EDIT: not a bargain, so GTFO :P

Seems to be doing the rounds in emails. Getting the following message:

''Hi,
I bought a TV last week from a website:www.hkeles.com. I have
received the product. The quality is very good. They also sell
phones,motor,psp and so on. Because of the financial crisis, their
products are very cheap. by the way, they only sell new and original
products .If you need these products, you can have a look . I think
you will get many benefits.
Greetings!''

It sends it to everyone in your address book apparently. Dont know how it works.

Either do I but unfortunately they sent the e-mail from my Gmail account (from googles searches, seems to only happen with gmail) to everyone in my contacts

This happened to my gmail as well. I am getting loads of undeliverable mail notifications back as a result of it.

Am really curious how it got into my contact list?

You can easily check if someone else has accessed your Gmail account,
On Gmail if you scroll to the very bottom of any screen theres 3 lines of small black text, the top one is "last account activity" next to it is a link for "details" it will show you the last few times logged in and the IP address of whoever logged in.
If theres no unfamiliar IP address then its probably a virus on your own computer doing it.

samething happen to me and a friend.

logs show a china base ip addressed had access our accounts at the time of the spamming

lobber

I have a message now from gmailing me now advising me that they have detected 'suspicious activity' on my account and ask me to change my password.

Sometimes hard to know if this is legit!!!

Its a virus that runs on your pc and uses your gmail contacts.

Run Malwarebytes to clean it.

ya seem like seems like our accounts were harvested by botnets that infected PCs with keylogging or data stealing Trojan horses.

thats an email address for a start.Listen to your son methinks

hihohelen

sorry - its www.profile-detective.com

Lab_Mouse

First off did you get an un-solicitated(spelling?:o)email off them?if yes its dodgy.

Secondly its only for people in the states so unless you are living there its no good to you.

And lastly it looks cheap as hell.Like something i'd cook up after reading the first page of a web design site.

EDIT:also when you click on 'about us' right at the bottom it just just refreshs the page and gives no info

Got this address in a friends email that was hacked.

www.ollsu.com

the below is the email.

<DIV>Dear friend,<BR>I am willing to give you a big surprise. I found
a website:  www.ollsu.com . last week. They mainly sell phones ,
laptops, tvs ,digital cameras and motorbikes. I ordered a tv . now I
have got the product after 5 days. Its quality is very good.<BR>By the
way, they only sell new and original products and their products have
international warranty. Now , they are promoting their products, so
the prices are very competitives. If you need these products, you can
have a look. Don not miss the good chance !<BR>Best wishes! </DIV>

I was looking at this website at the puppies for adoption and there was one ad. offering free yorkie terriers but said they were located in almost every county in the country! I knew this was probably a scam so i sent them an e-mail asking where abouts she lived. She sent me one back asking where I lived and saying she wanted to come and see my house and meet me and make sure it was a good home for the dog so I told her what county I live in and asked did she live nearby and told her it definately would be coming to a good home. She then sent me an e-mail back saying thats perfect, she lives in South Africa and if I could just send $200 for her to send the puppy over on a plane that I would soon have my free puppy! I know not all these adverts are scams but I just hope nobody falls for this

Great thanx:D

There is a woman in Galway who offers puppies or 'unloved' dogs to 'good homes' that she 'rescued' but she usually advertises in the paper .

Then you get an invoice and enough people pay to make it worth her while .

shardylan

Anyone ever hear of this site .I think its a bit dodgy but nothing coming up in searches to say its fake
