Beware of Scams: Counterfeit Game

Yes, I got scammed on ebay when buying a video game. That's exactly why I made this video. It's just a heads up when things look fishy when making transactions with an ebayer. I wish somebody would of warned me what the authentic case looked like before I bought this cheap imitation (though which I have to admit made me laugh really hard when I looked at it in person).

Note that not all sellers on ebay pull this kind of crap off. And yes, this person (whom I shall keep confidential) had a 100% approval rating which really threw me off a loop since I always thought the approval rating meant that the person was more reliable (I never buy from ebayers with less than a 95% approval rating anyways because I knew of the risks way before this happened). I actually buy most of my games from ebay and the others have been authentic and work with my DSi.

So this is just a heads up for you people what there are some people that are just...cruel and want to rip you off. Just because something is cheap does not make it good.

why use ebay to buy games lol...

[AngelYoshi87]

@Willettes1: Because a lot of the time they are much cheaper.

They are rejected on the DSI in an attempt to stop bootlegs and r4s. The DSi method might not work anymore, however, as the r4 makers have already busted nintendos new firmware.

@HaloSpartanG13: Gah, that's not good.  It was to be expected though at some point in time though. D:

I know 1 thing to spot a fake ds game.

another way to spot a fake ds game is the club nintendo paper.Usually when you buy a game (ex:Warioware:DIY) made by nintendo,some nintendo games come with club nintendo to redeem for coins.If you don't have that,its known as a fake.

man u gotta report the seller, that's unacceptable and oh yea ILLEGAL.

but thanks for the heads up, makes me think double about any online purchases.
