$399 Mac Clone Most Likely a Hoax

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the too-good-to-be-true-usually-is dept.

timholman writes "According to Gizmodo, an investigation has shown that the $399 OpenMac is almost certainly vaporware, as is Psystar itself. The company's address has actually changed twice this week, according to its web page, and Psystar is no longer accepting credit card transactions. Too bad for those who may have already ordered an OpenMac."

    Here is Psystar's business model:

    1. Set up a website that accepts credit card orders.
    2. Collect orders and credit card numbers.
    3. Charge the cards.
    4. Vanish.

    Seriously, if you can't recognize that this is a scam, you really should consider getting off the internet, while your credit card and bank account are still in tact.

    Psystar = Shyster
