A thread starter who posted “I’ll give away my gaming PC for free” suddenly began demanding a ¥10,000 Amazon gift card from anyone who wanted to claim it. Fellow posters piled on with comments like “that’s a scam” and “someone should report this,” and when the poster tried to explain it away as “just a drill,” it only drew more ridicule.
I'll hand it over for free if you come pick it up.
If you want it shipped, you'll have to cover the postage yourself 🙏

Hard to say much without knowing the specs
Even just the graphics card alone would go for tens of thousands of yen
Thanks

The Amazon gift card is just a deposit
It's a common thing to do

If you take the gift card and never ship the PC, that's straight-up fraud, you know
Why would I need to pay any money?
I'll come pick it up, so just tell me the location

This is the same setup as a refund scam
Claim there's a "handling fee" and demand money
Someone should really report this

Are those "giving away a PC" flyers actually sketchy?

If it's one of those "paid giveaway" events, yeah it's sketchy
Just think of it as a garbage event designed to reel in people who don't know better
