cheap HTCs ?!

I stumbled over this site: www.ecplaza.net (they're chinese)
the prices are crazy !
for example: HTC X7510 for 325$ or HTC touch HD for 370$...
is this for real ? can you count on them to get an original working piece ?
anybody ever deal with these guys ?

And there's your answer right there.

Original working piece?
The only thing you can count on them is to get a very nice useless device which isn't HTC or anything else

Not original... beware

um, i would say... No.
Just go on ebay, thats already very cheap.

these are usually known to be big SCAMS...beware!

nir36, in this sticky, explains that essentially it's better to buy a more expensive whatever when you know it will work and know that you're getting exactly what you paid for rather than buying uncertainly from unreputable dealers, only to get scammed and buy the more expensive on and the cheaper one.
So my advice, buy from somebody who doesn't have the words MEGA CHEAP SUPER DEVICEZ in it's domain name, or in this case, don't buy an unreasonably cheap device from a country that's known for its knockoffs.

I bought a Ipod from japan,
It had some weird firmware....
Stick with USA if you want a nice electronic

thanks for your feedback guys ! BUT... does anybody have actual experience with stories like this ?

[Q] Would you invest on somthing like this ?

Hi all,
1st of all, i got to say, nice forum you got here.
now, i like to share somthing i have noticed by one of the other forum online...
i have seen one auction on ebay that let me think to risk my money. and the auction is :
MOD EDIT: NO EBAY LINKS ALLOWED
now, my question for you guys, whould you try to take a risk on somthing like that, or just to leave it alone and to look for other investments...
this auction is look atractive for me because of it's price. - if this game is, let's say "nice", not good, perfect, or somthing around, but "nice", for 5000$ and production costs (around 10000$) and total of 15,000$ i need only let's say 28,000 sales of the game for 0.99$ to get my money back after all commitions.
so it's sounds like a low risk inventment.
the only thing i'm scared of, is this guy has no feedback.
what do you say ?
worth the risk ?
how can i know it's not a scam ???

Well, trying not to be too cynical about all of this, the ebay ad is from someone in Israel, you've suggested you're from Israel, so why not contact the seller, it should be easy for you in particular to do that I would imagine, and find out how much of a scam it really is.
Massive scam I would imagine.
The sort of thing someone creates, then joins forums all over the interweb making random posts on the end of old threads to make it appear that they're not a new member, then posting a link to the ad hoping someone will be stupid enough to make a bid.
It's amazing what you find when you google "Hi all, 1st of all, i got to say, nice forum you got here"

lol
scam it's not, but try to make a living... lol

So the ebay ad is indeed yours?
Lets see, on one forum you claim to be from Brooklyn NY, on here you've suggested you're in Israel (same location as the ebay seller), and on another forum you've been permanently banned.
Um, no, i would not invest.

still i need to advertise it no ?
if people will know it's me so what's the point ?

through deception? by claiming the ebay ad isn't you? no of course not.
the ad is for an "idea"
that could be "i've got an idea for a flying toasters vertical shooter game, there you go, you've been given my idea, thanks for the $5000"

I wouldn't call it a scam since it says "idea", but you're right could be anything between a paragraph of text and a pretty handdrawn sketch on a Burger King napkin...

The scam is the claim that he "found" the ad on ebay when he is actually the seller.
Dodgy as a 9 bob note.

Looking for Reliable online Shop

Hey people Merry christmas and happy new year in advance.
I am looking for an online shop that sells android phones like goophone i5 or HDC I9300 and other awesome copies. I am from mauritius and well stuff are rather expensive here and by expensive i mean Real Iphone 5 is lets say approx USD 1100-1300. And well i really dont want to use that much money on a phone.
I've seen some sites like fastcardtech, chinaecarts and others, too many reviews with many different opinions and bad experiences like wrong product etc and also scam. Figured i could ask help from you guys.
Any links to some shops with good service, aftersales, response, handling, shipping, honesty. Well lets say great shops all in all. Please post them with any reviews and personal experiences that might help me out.
Or if you know high quality android smartphones for under $300 that play in the category of the likes of "LG Nexus 4, Galaxy S3" Lemme know.
Thanks,
Arshad

I'd recommend Everbuying. I sometimes get stuff from there and I find it pretty trustworthy

Thanks for the link i'll check it out.
Cheers

Any1 know where i can get the Yeezone S3 Mini. I can't seem to find any shop selling it,
And what do you think of the HDC Galaxy S3 mini.
Sorry im new user cant link.

http://android-sale.com/5i-4-inch-screen-1ghz-dual-core-mt6577-cpu-8mp-camera-phone.html
ok so i have settled for this phone. But i am still unsure. After much research there are too many conflicting answers and reviews.
1 moment scam, 1 moment good, 1 moment something else. I've even looked here and its the same. I don't know if its unsatisfied customers or people who never had any experience with them.
Could some people with experience with buying from android-sale.com light my path plz.
Thanks.

Hi folks. Did anyone know GlaDeal Store? It's trustworthy?
Update (13 March 2017)
After buying a Redmi 3s international got no reply for few days, then, after my second e-mail, they reply that: The phone wasn't available (but still available inside the online shop) then offer me to send me another phone, or refund. I choose refund cause Xiaomi (unless it is marked as international or global) it's not working in most of Europe country's due to the lack of Band B20 (800 mhz). They say the give refund the day after... I wait 2 days and nothing happens, so i call PayPal and pass the pratice to they. Curiously after vistit my shop account-board I saw that the refund was started, but with 8 euro less to the total amount that i pay for the phone.
I'm still waiting for PayPal for a reply. Anyway, they grant me for a total refund of the price that I paid.
Plus:
The online shop has security issues about SSL and DNS traffic. And this is not good at all for a shop that pretend to sell stuff online.
Greetings

[Q] Chinese Fake Phones

Does anybody know a good Chinese site with Fast and good Androids with Google Play?
I know a few but I'm scared to buy so if you could share any Good ones that are not Scammers then go ahead.
I've seen these few: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/712877 (Says that the site is protected from Scammers)
tinydeal.com (I've heard it before on the internet and they said it's good but you never know)
fastcardtech.com (It has good reviews and heard good things about it, but I still don't thrust them)
This is the only site I can thrust with this so please help it's for my Birthday!

from suprafe

Sorry for my english.

Buy a quality phone, its just a few dollars more.

I suggest buy a $0.99 cent phone from your phone company like the Samsung Galaxy S2. That way you will still be getting a quality phone but for a very cheap price.

Why would you want a fake chinese phone? Honestly, for big purchases, it's probably better if you deal with businesses within the country you live in. What happens if you need service for your fake phone in the future? I doubt whomever you buy the fake phone from would be of much help and therefore, you'll just end up losing however much money you paid for that phone. Get a legit phone.

Has anyone used this company before?

I found this on google. Seems like a good price for the Z5's. Was wondering if anyone has used this company before?
I don't want to be wasting my money if it turns out to be a scam website.

does look a little dodgy and the fact they say the price was £740 for the premium and £626 for normal seems a little off as ive never seen them advertised as that. They offer paypal so you'll have protection from them if go down that route.

Ive emailed them and they said all their handsets are UK stock so I might try them out and pay using paypal.

Mate, the normal Z5 should only be £550-£560. Haven't looked at the site but I'd say they're dodgy.

Before I buy from a website I've never heard (or seen) of I usually check their facebook page first, if they have one.
I checked Nigel O'Hara (with 40k likes) just now (and their Shop Now button went to the website you linked just to make sure it was the same) and all I saw in the comments on their posts was words like con, thieves, give money back and so on.
Also google for reviews, it doesn't look too good

It's a fake site used by scammers.
