Not Mine False Advertising? (1 Viewer)

Just saw these scrolling through eBay. They are being advertised as Paulson THC chips, but as far as I know this particular mold was not made by paulson. Is this correct?

Correct. Hat no cane.

Hopefully nobody here falls for this

Not Paulson. Either a scammer or just ignorant. Fact they are priced so low likely means it is an intentional attempt at deception.

You are correct -- these are not Paulson chips.

As bernie said, there are no canes. You can also see an injection-molding dimple in one of the hats on each face.

When you guys see stuff like this do you ever send messages to sellers to inform them?

Generally no. I've had sellers tell me "you don't know anything about this" but in much less pleasant words.

Maybe a proper scam, but more likely they see something that looks like other auctions, they copy the essence of the text (or sometimes full copy/paste with no editing) and go along their way. They see previous sales for hundreds (thousands!) of dollars and see money in the garbage they found in their attic. They don't want to know the truth.

eBay listings for chips are full of bullshit. 90% of ads for CDI98 chips claim they are movie props from License To Kill.
