Scam alert: Possible fake "Wiikey" chips selling at eBay

Scam? - Image 1


Scam alert folks! Be sure to take note of this. Several MaxConsole forum folks spotted an Italian retailer selling the 'Wiikey' for only £ 21.99. MaxConsole notes that this is obviously way below the expected retail price. Moreover, if you visit the Official website, you'll see that there aren't clear images of the product yet.

Some note that there other "Wiikey" listings can be spotted on eBay. However, MaxConsole dismisses them as fakes and could - at the very least (although the possibility is minimal) - be clones. Of course, how could a product get clones so many times if it hasn't reached the market yet?

Anyway, we would like to remind you folks to always be cautious when making purchases of this nature. If you wish to scrutinize the eBay listings yourselves, the link below should lead to the questionable listing.

Buy: [WiiKey]
