Scam

hiya,

I am sure this may have been highlighted but unless I’m wrong, I believe this not to be OC.

If I’m wrong then fair one but it’s advertising on Facebook and appears to be a dodgy site using your name.

Please let me know

very strange for your 1st post

sorry but im not clicking on the link..

Suspicious first post is suspicious!

Rebekah Anderson · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:40

Oh sorry I I only joined to highlight this.
I nearly bought something but looked into it and thought better. I couldn’t find an email to send OC a message to highlight this being on Facebook so here I am hoping to inform them so they can either say it’s genuine or to take action with Facebook.

I’ll try and sort a screen shot.

yeah a Screen Shot would be best

Ok never mind I can’t attach a screenshot without uploading it to a site.

Basically it claims to be OC and selling PC components at 90% + discount.

OCUK probably already know about this and have posted on their social media channels that anything that looks too good to be true is usually too good to be true! 8Pack Infiniti rigs at £40 is ridiculously low!

jsmoke · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:45

Yeh it's kind of what OP says.

Rebekah Anderson · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:48

Ok I googled it but couldn’t find any mention of it anywhere from OC
Only from a website which can give you estimates of potential dangerous sites.
It’s located it in China.
Any way.
Just wanted to do a good deed.

If there is a way to upload an image without paying for Photobucket rubbish then I’ll do it but at the moment am on my phone.

ShiWarrior · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:49

i would contact OcUK directly, im sure they have a security/scam email address ?

Rebekah Anderson · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:50

If they do it’s not in their contact page.

Waiting for someone to catch me busting one off later on tonight through my front facing camera.

Rebekah Anderson · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:54

That’s the one.
Took the same screen shot.
But there it is.

Thanks for taking the time to sign up and report this. Hopefully, with enough reports of this happening something can be done about it.

jsmoke · 3 Dec 2018 at 18:59

Not sure there is much that can be done, originated in China and server(or some servers) in Turkey.

Hope so. I hate these and the email versions. I know how to dig into them without getting stung. But this is the first blatant web site hence I wasn’t sure if I was right as it was just too obvious.

Not so much can be done about the existence of the website, no, but Facebook should certainly have mechanisms in place to prevent or at least minimise their involvement in the advertising.

Didn't we have another thread about this a couple of weeks ago?
