Estava a procura de um iMac em 2ª mão no coisas.com quando encontrei este belo exemplo de um iMac 27” de topo e quase novo por apenas €900. Isso é quase metade do preço do mercado, então como é que isso podia ser possível?

Toca de enviar um email a mostrar interesse. Passado um dia recebi o seguinte email de resposta. Basta dizer apenas “a fool and his money are soon parted” :-)

Email recebido de “fred.bitmanager@gmail.com”:

     Hello,

 I write you this email because you contacted me regarding my product,iMac
Intel i7 2.8ghz 1TB 7200 8GB ram 27 excellent .The product is as new, it
comes with 23 months warranty ,all original packaging and accessories. Now I
work in London, for Britain’s Royal Guard and I received it from a friend of
mine as a gift on my birthday,one month ago.
 I decided to sell it together with my wife because I want to do a good
deed: the money which I will get after selling  will be donated to people in
need from Japan who suffered after earthquake and tsunami flood. Also, I
want to sell it  at a good price ( 900 € )  to somebody who really need it.
 Due to the job I have, my free time is limeted and because of it I can
not meet somebody face to face for my sell. So, I sell it via DPD
International and I will pay all the shipping cost, you must only pay for my
Apple iMac. You will make the payment to DPD and they will withhold the
money until you receive and inspect the product (you have 7 days for
inspection).
 The inspection period will begin as soon as you receive the product at
your address.Meanwhile DPD International will protect your money! You can
see the product before you decide to buy it. This way we are both protected:
I will know that I have a serious buyer, who has the money to pay me and you
will be able to
see and inspect the product before buying it.
You will receive the package in approx. 48 hours after the payment to DPD is
checked!
After you will inspect the product and decide to keep it, DPD will forward
me the funds and the deal is done.
Remember you have 7 days to test it. If by any reason the product is not as
described or if you find any problems, you will return the product to DPD
International with no expenses. The payment details will remain at DPD until
you confirm that everything is OK and you want to keep it.
 If you think the delivery terms are OK please send your shipping detaills:
- First & last name:
- Address :
- City & State:
- Postal Code:
- Country:
- E-mail & second e-mail address:
- Phone number:

I am waiting your reply,
Kind regards,
 Fred Bates

PS:  I attached you some pictures.I would rather talk about our bussiness in
English for a better communication.

Depois de mais de uma semana “em manutenção” o site da Associação Nacional das Farmácias (www.anf.pt) voltou, e assim, a fonte de dados para a minha App também voltou. Tudo está novamente a funcionar como deve ser.

Embora sendo um problema fora do meu controlo, peço desculpa para o incómodo.

Pois é, a App deixou de funcionar porque o servidor da Associação Nacional de Farmácias (www.anf.pt), onde vou buscar os dados para a App, deixou de ter registo de DNS a assim, por todos efeitos, não existe (experimentem ir à www.anf.pt e vão ver o que acontece).

Num ‘whois’ (na www.dns.pt) parece que está tudo OK, mas qualquer ‘lookup’ de DNS para o domínio anf.pt não devolve nada.

É um problema totalmente fora do meu controlo, infelizmente. É isto que dá criar serviços que dependem dos dados dos outros.

Só posso esperar que essa situação se resolve o mais rápido possível, e vou fazer o que posso para tentar alertar as pessoas que podem ajudar a resolver o problema.
