How did you get the consoles?

"Advanced exchange: Microsoft will ship a replacement product to you first, and then you'll send back your non-working item. There are a few important things to note about advanced exchange:
You must provide credit card details for an advanced exchange. A hold will be placed on your credit card for the price of an Xbox One console or Kinect sensor.
You're responsible for sending the non-working product in within 14 days after receiving the replacement product to avoid having your credit card charged."
The trick is Microsoft don't put a hold for the full cost of a console on your card, they just do a check. So people use a pre paid visa or vcc with £1 on to do this and the serial numbers to set up a repair can easily be found or given to you if you ask a seller on eBay etc.
When Microsoft clicks on they're not receiving the broken xbox that doesn't exist back they will try charging the card which obviously won't work where it only ever had a pound on it and the only trace is the delivery address which conveniently is the buyers and not the seller.
With the use of Bitcoin as the payment method and not accepting PayPal etc (there is nothing identifying the seller), but there's nothing stopping Microsoft chasing it up or bricking your console down the line or worst case scenario the seller using stolen credit cards to pass the security checks (Microsoft are meant to be clamping down on pre paid cards) which would result in more than a bricked console for whoever buys one.

TL/DR - It is fraud and the only person who has anything to lose is the buyer. Seller is safe since Microsoft won't have any of his information, only yours. (Because Microsoft will ship straight to you.)
Damn these scammers are inventive - that is just EVIL.

Do you send these directly to us from Microsoft? Or do you get them first, then ship to us?
They're probably sent directly to you.
I hope not, if so I'd certainly buy a few as I don't particularly like the idea of Microsoft chasing me for the cash.
I doubt this guy who is selling them would either
. And it'll probably be the police chasing you, not Microsoft. Do you send these directly to us from Microsoft? Or do you get them first, then ship to us?

How many have you got and any time-stamped pics? Price seems too good to be true.
I am willing to use escrow so there is nothing to worry about.
Good good, but you might want to time-stamp a pic with your username in. Price is very cheap.
Sorry but I use different username on another forum.
What does that matter?
