⚠️ Computer Build Scam Warning ⚠️
We would like to warn our customers about the growing number of misleading and scam gaming PCs being sold on places like Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and various online shops.
Many of these computers may look modern and be advertised as “gaming PCs”, but in reality they often contain:
❌ 12–15 year old processors
❌ Outdated DDR3 RAM
❌ Cheap non-branded motherboards
❌ Low-quality or recycled components
❌ Counterfeit or illegally installed Windows systems
Despite the flashy cases and attractive prices, these PCs are NOT built for modern gaming and frequently fail to deliver the performance promised by the seller.
Sadly, we’ve seen customers spend up to £1000 on systems that turned out to be completely unsuitable. It’s especially disappointing when young gamers receive one of these PCs for Christmas or save up their hard-earned money, only to discover they’ve been scammed.

This is only one of many cases we have seen over the last 2 years.
⚠️ If a deal looks too good to be true — it probably is.
This post is not an advert for ourselves, but a genuine warning to help people avoid wasting money.
💬 If you are considering buying a gaming PC and would like advice before purchasing, feel free to pop in and ask us. We are always happy to:
✔️ Give you an honest opinion
✔️ Check if a PC is genuine and suitable
✔️ Suggest better alternatives within your budget
Thank you,
Chris
