Cheap Mac's, Scam?

SeanyMc22

I'm looking at upgrading to a Macbook Pro.
I came across this site http://www.rctech.net/forum/monster-trucks/371189-sony-vaio-lt-series-hd-pc-tv-all-one-vgc-lt29u-4-gb-ram.html
I mailed them and they say they are a wholeseller and have the approval by apple to operate as a wholesale. They added me on msn and I have been chatting with em, they have offered the Apple MacBook Pro - Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz - 17 " - 4 GB Ram - 500 GB HDD‏ for $700 (€580)
Surely its a scam?

Have a quick google of their email white_alado@yahoo.com and see what you think

Heres a transcript of my convo with them

that's a scam, you can see how pushy he is, lol and what company does business over msn and keeps asking you to buy, actually i'd be tempted to have a mess around with them, hate people like that, so to feck about with them and mess them about would be a pleasant change.

Yeh cheers lads its a scam alright, im the same, I've been asking em millions of questions whilst watching the football, really p*ssing em off by asking the same question 5 different ways!
The mail address is white_alado@yahoo.com or white_alado@live.com

dougs09

yeah i emailed him there enquiring about an iPhone, im gonna log into msn now and add him and have some fun with him, yep even his way of talking, using text speak, then using caps, no company acts like that, and if he was a legitimate seller he'd not be going down that route.
