News flash! Just arrived in the mail! Someone contacted me using our contact form, and this is what he has written:
Dear sir,
I need 40 Pcs of “Dell 6400 inspiron- core 2 duo-120 Gb hard…”. what is your last price fot [sic] this order?
We are laptop trader in IRAN. hope we have a good business.
Regards,
Ali [last name withheld to protect the "innocent"]
Wow! OzBargain Blog has gone international — all the way to the Middle East! He is probably writing in response to this post. Now, my loyal readers (if there is any), what shall I do to help our friend Ali from Iran? What’s the best price we can get him? :)
lol. a quick google check leads me to a Dell Middle East website (http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/default.aspx?c=ae&l=en&s=gen&~ck=cr). he can probably get more info off that website although it doesn’t list iran on the website.
ali can probably be the middle east correspondent for ozbargain. lol
Congrats!
The guy certainly has no clue. Now I can believe those American Express lawyers who sent me a letter yesterday saying that some of my blog posts are misleading. :-(
Hehe. Rather than “clueless”, I’ll categorise Mr. Ali as a potential scammer.
It is not the first time people sending me requests asking me to do “business” with them, quoting they want the best price of certain items that are clearly available from the region they are in. Most of the time (if not all) are dodgy.
