Selling Superhub on Ebay extra stupid.
Selling Superhub on Ebay extra stupid.
This person is selling a Superhub on Ebay and they helpfully posted a picture of the MAC address which one of my ex colleagues posted this link on Facebook and still works for the company in the relevant department, so will be reporting this device as it fully traceable back to the seller. 
Not quite a Darwin award but quite stupid.

Re: Selling Superhub on Ebay extra stupid.
The best of it that any agent can trace the original owner in seconds with the MAC address and it can then be quite easily removed as per Sirius's post.

Re: Selling Superhub on Ebay extra stupid.
Never bet on stupidity. I know a couple of people who actually bought dodgy boxes in the hope to get cable services and they didn't even have cable in their area

No surprise in that as its people like them that keep the sellers in business.

It should be in the same place as the sticker you see in the link above, your angry face seemed out of place without the above reason.

It will not work even without the MAC address being deleted as it will not be listed on the buyers account and nor will it ever, just a useless paperweight.
