    Help Kotaku Stop Xbox 360 Ebay Scams

    Beware. There are some real assholes out there, and a good chunk of them troll around Ebay. The Uber Review sent word of a coupla recent auctions that are suckering 360-desparate gamers. In one auction, it looks, seems and smells like a Xbox 360 is up for grabs, but wedged into a huge paragraph of text is a line that reads, "This auction is not for a Xbox 360 game system, but instead of a picture of one. I hope you enjoy this high-quality item." Final selling price: $823 US. In another, it appears like a Xbox 360, but instead the winner gets two hotmail accounts. Final selling price: $842.

    Okay, Kotakuites, here's what we are going to do. We are gonna find these bastards and sniff them out. How? Say, you come across a bogus-looking auction or ad for a 360. Send that to us, and we'll post it, exposing the SOB seller. We'll of course repay you by giving you an invite and the adoration of our readers. Our goal is stomping out every last shyster by Christmas.
