Hey fellow gamers I've been out of the gaming scene for a while until recently, when I bought a PS4 pro, since my PC is my full time workstation.

Looking for second hand games online I stumbled across this ad on OLX (https://www.olx.com.pk/item/playstation-4-fifa-20-iid-1014286375).

here's my chat with him on olx and whatsapp:

Here is the TCS receipt he sent me:

Thank God I had the presence of mind to notice that some the was off about the receipt. It had no tracking number and all the lettering seems a little too perfect.

TCS has a very convenient service to verify such receipts. You simply whatsapp the receipt to them and they verify if it's real or fake. Turns out it's a complete hack job, according to the TCS rep they never mention on the receipt what is inside and the order "History ID" does not exist.

I brought up the no tacking number issue with the olx seller but he was just making excuses that he left it in his house, now he's too far and I should just pay. "No Issues bro" was his way of coaxing me. Since I refused to budge until a valid tracking number was provided, he blocked me.


So, in conclusion fellow gamers stay safe and take all precautions with your hard earned money.

OLX Seller # +92 315 6902778
He goes by the name of Zaryan/Zarian

Damn, this asshole just got a blank TCS receipt and typed his own details on it.

Thanks for sharing and great that you caught him before any money was transferred.

Maybe can't say for sure. From now on wards I'll persist that sellers send me my packages through TCS so that I can verify them, before paying.

Thanks for the headsup!
I tried accessing his profile but it's not accessible.
There should be some sort of escrow payment system involved in olx.You can't trust anyone nowadays!

Olx is a scam market

Not every one is a scam, I recently bought Schiit Audio Fulla from a isb guy, paid full in advance, got LCS receipt with tracking no within a hour and the DAC next day with no issues.

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
    There are no such thing as "bad design" bro, its all "artistic vision" now :ROFLMAO:
