Scammers hitting dive shops for fraudulent Shearwater/Garmin computer purchases

That's an infinitely bad spelling scam. "Duh" has no apostrophe. Duh.

Unless it's in the third normal form: d'oh

You mean like d'oh, r'eh, m'eh? Almost infinite possibilities here.

As a math guy, I'm curious how close (or far) "nearly infinite" is to "infinite".

Close enough for an ex-navy diver to require words that are not allowed on ScubaBoard to describe.

Almost infinite possibilities then…

Somewhat related to this, there are now scammers going on Facebook groups advertising cheap Shearwater computers. Here's one where when contacted, only takes crypto payments and very pushy in closing the sale.

Can you give me a link? I have some spare time to spend on baiting him

I just saw this add in a (Greek) facebook dive equipment group:

I don't bother contacting them

At least they show the serial number. I see a lot on my groups where they don't bother. Always a brand new member, only post etc.

This is getting interesting.
Right now waiting on Shearwater to give me info on serial number he provided. I asked for photo of Teric screen showing serial, he sent me the paper card photo. Dude now wants to send me 847,1 something to my bank account and I should send him crypto in exchange
