This website has deals on it that seem slightly too good to be true. But it looks legit.
I've tried researching the site using google but nothing of worth is coming up. What do you guys think?
http://www.mychinaprice.com/
The old saying about if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.
It comes to mind here.
Just looking at the tablet section, seems like a lot of cheap knockoffs.
Its a scam for sure
most likely a scam
Scam for sure.
The Website is hosted by goDaddy and created by a chinese. For more detail visit http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=mychinaprice.com&prog_id=GoDaddy .
Its a brillant example for a scam
Sent from my brain using my fingers

Amazingly well made site for a scam.
I think they took a template and filled it with wrong information - code a big Website only for scam is stupid!

Yeah, of course created by a chinese. it is marked as a China wholesale store itself.
hmm well if someone already tried buying smth and never received the item, it's a scam; looks pretty decent though.

And they never offer you refund or any compensation? My god!
I don't know whether it is a scam. but seen from its site information, items details and descrption, payment methods, etc,it seems not professional at least.
hmm, . . .if many people think so then it is ~ :angel:

Thanks for the interest guys
Why not just post it on e-bay if you're going to be "Open to any reasonable offers"? Sounds like bidding to me.

Apologies mate if it comes across that way- I just had no idea what its worth thats all.
I will re-emphasise that its a practically new dock and comes with all original components and packaging.
Please PM me if interested.
PM sent
Just confirming the dock is still available at the moment.
I'm awaiting PM replies.

Hey mate, thanks for the PM. Let me know how we will do the exchange
Sold. Thanks for the interest.
That's a douche move. If I were to be one of those people I'd be livid. Just because people want it at your price doesn't mean raise the price. I hope nobody purchases it based on principle, and it just collects dust.
I hate to be "that" guy, but I am always selling things, and at great prices. When I have tons of people hitting me up, whoever gets me the moneys first gets it. I don't start a dang bid battle. That's lame. To each their own though I suppose.

Thanks mate for your opinion
Bear in mind that I'm not making a profit here...just trying to recoup my losses.
To completely ignore market forces as you suggest, in my opinion is highly naieve. If you wish to take the moral high ground in theory and criticise others for being realistic then kuodos to you. If you have further unconstructive opinionated comments to make to me, then I'd encourage you to do so via PM.
cheers
Trust me. I ended up losing lol. I'd rather get something than nothing though. Just hate it when I want a hot item, and the seller decides to up the price since a lot of interest has gathered. Picture yourself in the other persons shoes.
Sorry if I came off harsh, that's just one of my peeves. Good luck with the sale

Just to prevent any further dispute... I initially offered him higher than what he wanted because I believe the price I'm offering is fair. I could either buy it from states and have it shipped, or buy it from my Ausi mate. I don't really know anyone in US, plus I would have to have someone use an american CC to purchase the item because Canada is an international country to the US although we are practically sisters. No need to be frustrated. I also hate it when the seller increases the price due to greed but I'm sure this is not the case.
Sold.

For anyone interested it's a good read. Galaxy S users are pressuring Samsung USA on virtually every post Samsung has made on the lack of the 2.2 update. I doubt it will have any affect but it does shed light on the plight of the Galaxy S owners and with hundreds being posted somebody will respond sooner or later somewhere whether Samsung or AT&T.
Haha, I especially enjoyed this comment:
I was going to check it out on my Captivate, but it's turned itself off again. Maybe when it gets through rebooting.

We are the 3% of the Captivate phone owner population that realized we are getting screwed, but the other 97% might never know of the update situation and are completely unaware that an update could potentially fix a lot of their problems

Well at worst case all that would accomplish is getting their FB page shutdown (highly improbable) and close a source for the public to get informed.

You just need to "like" the page first to write comments. Just remember to delete the fact that you liked it on your profile page
I left some friendly () comments of my own
Just be sure to be a little nice about it but make the point that we need/want what was promised. no need to go over the top.
I am going to check it daily and post something on every new topic i see. I request that others do it also, aiming to just get some sort of info from them about the situation.
Haha I've been one of the people posting over at Samsung USA for the last few weeks. I try to go ever there and post a comment or an article every so often. It's been good to see more and more people doing the same. Don't know if it'll do any good or not, but at least it's cathartic and it spreads the word. Glad to see some people have taken notice.
If the word gets out, it will do damage to brand reputation. And everything is about advertising.

From a phone
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.

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.

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.
Hey everyone.
So I was out looking for phones and I found a guy in delhi selling refurbished phones. They have a website, three branches as per say.
So I got myself a deal for one plus 6 in around 18k.
6gb,128gb version.
I am currently on Rei Note 5 Pro and thinking of making the change.
All I need is a little reponse if I should go ahead ?
I have paid 500 as booking fees, site seems legit. The guy seems legit so far.
He will give me the tracking Id tomorrow and the rest amount is COD.
What do you guys think of it ?
The device comes with 1 year warranty and 1 week replacement/ return.
Feels sketchy , seeking a 34 k mobile for 18 k May be the screen or some other internals may have been replaced. Also what type of warranty is he providing seller or company warranty and in India we have had enough tube getting warranty service from known brands it is risky to trust seller warranties
Looks like scam to me
Why would anyone sell a phone for 18k when it can easily fetch 30-35k INR?
Remember, If something seems too go to be true. It is most likely a scam of some kind. Don't waste your hard earned money on something fishy as this!

Hey just to see my luck I too placed an order in the website you mentioned. It didn't even ask me for the deposit of 500. By default it takes COD. I'm very very sure it's a scam as it didn't even ask me for any verification or confirmation

I dunno man. It seems good by the name of it.
My product is already been shipped.
I totally bonged the guy, asking him several questions.
He said these are custom duty free refurbished handsets. Sometimes unboxed.
People return or replace them frequently it seems.
Anyways, he is assuring me, he said i can live video call him while unboxing. I mean that counts for something I guess.
I will make a video of unboxing though.
Well lets hope for the best then.

So after my repeated attempts to get an ID from the guy made me cancel the order.
The guy , Mithlesh Sharma, employee of the website company or so he told me.
He sent me an Adhaar Card of some person he said was his boss.
I mean he couldn't send his own but apparently all employees have the boss's adhaar card.
plus it was all sketchy from the start..and with all the frauds goin on..i backed out.
as soon as I told him I will not be receiving the parcel as he failed to present a proof. He blocked me and did not respond on call.
moreover if you check olx, now i see these fake ads more than actual ones.
i mean a guy has posted ads in chandigarh, lucknow and delhi at the same time. Cash on delivery..buff..
I mean what if the box had just glass or bricks or soap inside. I choose to believe nobody would;ve listened then.
17k is a good amount.
might as well but the pocof1..lol
