I am talking with someone online about buying a used Vita that's supposedly running cfw. The problem is that he's claiming he has Henkaku on firmware 3.63. First of all, I know that's not possible, you don't need to lecture me about it. Second of all, don't just tell me it's a scam. I'm well aware of that possibility and I'm taking all the necessary steps to protect myself from that. What I'm wondering is if it's possible that the poor guy got his Vita hacked on 3.60 then followed some shady youtube tutorial or something, that supposedly updated his firmware, but actually kept the Vita on 3.60, while changing the displayed one to 3.63?
Thank you in advance for your help
P.S. If you're interested, here are the reasons why I believe there's a possibility he might not be a scammer. 1. There is no reason for him to claim he has a 3.63 hacked Vita. Where I'm from a 3.60 Henkaku Vita would sell easily. 2. His price is not exorbitant. He isn't trying to collect any premium for this impossible Vita hack. Infact, most people price their regular unhacked Vita about the same. 3. He is not really advertising this insane 3.63 hack, he just casually mentioned it. Most people here wouldn't even understand this is something special as opposed to a 3.60 Henkaku Vita. 4. When I talked to him about my doubts he didn't try to convince me, nor did he ignore me. He simply seemed confused and kept claiming that it works. I think a scammer would simply move to an easier target, while he acts like someone who's looking at his Vita firmware display and doesn't understand why he's being bothered over the internet about something he can confirm with his eyes.
