Need HELP: Brand NEW HTC TILT for A very low price

I have been approached by a person on facebook that they sell brand new HTC 8925 tilt, unlocked with box and all of the accesories for a price of 150USD,
DO you think this is real(legitmate), or are they kind of like a scam??
Should I buy it or stay away from it?

Sounds like a scam. Only buy it if you can meet the buyer face to face or if he lets you pay after youve received it (not going to happen ).

that is literally too good to be true, maybe they even send it to you, it may still be stolen etc. and get blocked.

Sounds like it's HOT (stolen)! Be careful...

but will the phone work, if it is stolen?

Don't buy stolen stuff. 1. It's illegal in almost every country and 2. it is very risky. The thief or the owner can call the operator and block your IMEI whenever they feel like it and once a phone is blocked it's blocked.

so that means if I go to mexico or malbourne, I cant use the phone?

I will sell you a "new att tilt" for $75... just send the money western union to Romania and I will send it.

Dawg...if you meet and put your sim and it works get that $hit...they cant block $hit...its only a sim card...dont b stupid and send money and think your gonna get it cause your not........EVERYONES DOING IT

They can get the IMEI of the device blocked though...turning it into a fancy 150 buck paper weight.
Dont bother even giving this offer any thought.

Or there's a chance of a fancy little program running and sending the owner your new number, which will allow him to send the police your way... also works

ok, so what are the range of price I should buy for a 2nd hand att tilt?

If you buy it used get it locally from a live person or from ebay with buyer protection from paypal.
NEVER buy anything with wire transfers or Wester Union and such. They are ALL a scam, I guarantee it.

amazon now has the Tilt for $50 after rebates with a new service...

Bottom Line if it is stolen then it could have been stolen from one of our members. Don't support thieves! you can get a refurbished tilt for about $200.00 and that comes with a warranty. Do the right thing. and by the way! if it sounds to good to be true! It IS! IF it wasn't for greedy people then dishonest people would have no place to sell their wares.

Is the guy near you. I've bought stuff from people on Facebook before but I met them and checked the product before I gave any money. Got a 20" widescreen flatpanel tv for $150. Not a bad deal at the time.

They can't unlock it...

Hi everybody,
First of all, I'm from Romania and I don't own a PayPal account or a Google Checkout. I don't have a credit card or anything like that because I'm not rich enough to keep my money on a credit car or a bank account...plus no one I know uses PayPal.
I somehow got a touch pro really cheap but the problem is that I cannot unlock it. I took it to several stores but they weren't able to unlock it. One of them told me he'll call me when he can do it but nothing yet...the cost was a bit higher then Olipro's 14 Euros, but I would have payed if he could have made it...
How could I unlock it by getting the money to Olipro in some other way or is there someone from Brasov, Romania region who can help me? I would pay 20 euros cash with no problem.
And yes. It is not a good feeling to have a crappy phone and a touch pro with no signal in your pocket because I sold my good phone to buy this one. And the crappy phone is from someone who gave it to until I unlock this one and I had it for more than a week already.
Thanks in advance.​

Have you contacted Oli and asked him if he accepts western union money laundering (sorry, transfer). All he would need to do would be to walk into any western union in the world, show ID and then he has the money http://www.westernunion.com/

I didn't want to bug him with this kind of questions and thought that someone here can help me. But now I contacted him and hopefully we will come up with something.
Thanks for the reply.

Samsung Captivate in Canada

So it's getting close to Sunday, even some people were lucky enough to get them early. My question is, does anybody know of a place to order one of these that will ship to Canada? Other than waiting for them to show up on eBay?

Since bestbuy will carry it on sunday, you can PROBABLY buy it online and pay extra for the mailing.

So it's release day, my birthday, and I'm having no luck. I tried to get in on the Wal-Mart action this morning and failed cause I have a Canadian credit card which they wouldn't accept, which turned out ok since the canceled orders anyways. Next I tried Best Buy, they were willing to sell me on for $500 but I had to get it shipped to a US address first. I managed to find a cousin in the states who would accept it and then send it up to me, excellent. I called Best Buy up to order the phone and they told me they couldn't sell it off contract and that I would have to go to an AT&T store. I called back, got another agent and she informed me I could order the phone off contract. Just not now as they currently aren't shipping that phone and that I would have to go to a store and pick one up.
Does anybody know of any other online stores that are selling the Captivate today?

[Q] Help with the rebate form

To the T-Mob customers from the US on here, if you filled out the rebate form and mailed it, I have a few questions:
1. Do I need a postage stamp? (I'm sorry if this is the dumbest question you've ever heard, but I've never mailed anything before least of all a rebate form.) Is that a special sort of mail?
2.For the "proof of purchase" part, the T-Mob store that I bought my Sensation from attached an invoice to my already filled out rebate form. Now I asked him clearly if all I had to do was mail the two pages in just as they are, and he said yes. However, I just realized after I left the store that there is a space for "Signature ________" and "Date________" . Do I need to sign and date this ? Or is that not necessary?
Again, I'm really sorry if I'm being extremely dense, I just don't want to mess it up and have to deal with resubmitting.

it needs postage unless it specifically says "Postage Paid For" on it

I got mine thru walmart and didn't have to mail a rebate and only paid $148 as opposed to $250 with a $50 mail in rebate. Anyone thinking about getting a sensation should try it if you want to save some cash.

I wanted to do this, but I am not the primary account holder, just an authorized user. And I wasn't about to drag my dad to wal-mart Sunday morning to get it

I also have a question.
If the IMEI on the Sensation doesn't match the one on the box, which on do I put on the rebate form?
The one on the Sensation that I checked under phone info, or the one on the box sticker?

In this case you should run back and get your money back.... numbers should match.

I bought it at a T Mobile store from sales rep, so it was legit. I didn't buy it off some bum on Craigslist.
I only noticed they were different when I was filling out the rebate form, now I'm wondering what IMEI I should put on there if not both.

Stupid question I know but was the rebate form in the box? If it was I totally missed it.

Same here. I didn't see any form with mine.

Rebate Process Explanation
As a T-Mobile employee let me explain the process clearly.
Your sales associate should have given you 3 sheets of paper upon leaving the store.
(If you DID NOT receive this form please be sure to return to the location where you purchased your device at or make sure it was not a dealer, but a CORE LOCATION)
1. Main Receipt
2. Copy of Receipt
3. Rebate Form
The Copy of receipt and rebate form should be stapled together.
Fill out the information exactly as directed on the form leaving nothing black that has a pink "required" next to it. Failure to do so will render your warranty void and you will not receive your rebate visa card.
The white label from your box must either be peeled (which may tear it) or cut from the box and placed inside the same envelope.
Please make sure the IMEI on your receipt, device and box all match. If not you will not receive your rebate.
You must purchase your own stamp and mail the envelope.
Must be postmarked on or no later than July 31st, 2011.
Rebate is only available to those who purchased the Sensation through a valid and authorized T-Mobile retail store. Refurbished devices purchased as an upgrade DO qualify. Devices purchased at Walmart and any other major supply chain do NOT count.
Offer is not valid for Flex Pay customers.
Please allow up to 8 weeks for us to process the information and or card.
Once sent you can then check your rebate status at WWW.TMOBILEREBATES.COM or call or Rebates dept. at 1-877-311-8853 for any questions or to check your status of rebate.
I hope I was able to help you with your question.
Have a great day.

What if you purchased online through the TMO website?

Question T-Mobile Network Unlock For Pixel 7 Pro

I am from Nigeria, I bought a Google pixel 7 pro from eBay after signing the bid for 500$
I contacted the seller if the phone was under contract, and his respond was "no".
I have been trying to unlock the phone, I called T-Mobile but they refuse to unlock the phone.
I cannot refund the phone because I already shipped it to Nigeria where I live and I am no longer able to contact the seller as the business seems concluded.
Please, I really need help to unlock this phone because the phone will be useless in my hand if not unlocked.
I spent a total of 620$ after tax and shipping.
I will be supper grateful if I can be helped.
Thank you .

Sounds like the phone was not paid off by the seller or it was stolen which would explain why T-Mobile refuses to help you.
If thats the case the phone is most likely blacklisted in which case there is nothing you can do.

Two Key things I see there are Plan ID and Loan ID.

Is there anything I can do ?
I have the eBay receipt that is verifiable...
If there is a way to make this phone work, I will be grateful.

I believe the only option would be for the seller to pay off the loan at T-Mobile, which they're never gonna do, or to return it.
Those are your two options. There is nothing more that can be done. You're screwed as far as the phone is concerned.
However, you can open a case with eBay.

Open ebay or PayPal case
If item was advertised as unlocked you should get your money back.

Thank you very much, let me do that

Thank you very much, I have contacted eBay, they wade into the issue and thereafter refunded me the complete money that I used for purchase, however, they left the phone with me.
Nothing lost, I got my money back and I have the locked phone for taking pictures and videos.
Thanks
