It says its the 17" model, retails for $2499 on Apple.ca

Can only find news articles about the site, no reviews.

I wouldn't trust that, but who knows.

Seems like its the same description on every site I visit. Doesn't sound that legit.

Seems like a scam or some super light Macbook.

Weight: 1.00 Grams

[wongbr]

also all the "reviews from customers" are all giving it a stellar rating for cheapness.

Tried to do a whois but didn't come up with much info as the registrant is undisclosed

[AzureD]

if it seems too good to be true that's because it is

[Karlis]

Did anyone confirmed if this is true?

[spartan on deck]

doesn't look too legit...

i read this story a while back, and that jeff guy is well and live lol, i read that he just got lazy and didnt wanna answer emails

i googled "mynameisjeff" and found him at www.twitter.com/mynameisjeff

one of the best stories on the internet imo :p

but wait, what happened to jeff???

any updates?

Yup, as cryingx said above, looks like he's alive and well - same location, same name, and he talks about the p-p-p-powerbook! ;). According to his Twitter feed though, it looks like he did respond to the guys at Zug but apparently they deleted/didn't read/ignored his e-mail or just changed the story for more dramatic flair.

I know I was foolish, but the deal seems too good to pass up. Also, there was no negative information on the Internet or complaints filed with the US Internet Crime Complaint Center (www.ic3.gov). Also, the bank account that they want you to deposit the money into is a Bank of America active bank account located in Texas.

I am current pursuing means for recovering my money. Beware! More will be posted.
