hey guys , here is the problem .. firstly i live at the end of the world so i get end of the world services . i bought an xda II on ebay from the UK then the connector that connects to the AC and to the sync cable broke off the board , anyways there is only one company in South Africa that can fix it , but they refuse to because of company politics , basicly it aint a South African product . If any one could direct me to a good course of action please let me know , my XDA is.... in.....a....coma
if you are refering to the "flat" connector underneath the XDA2 then you are in big troble...it's a major replacement...can't be done DIY....unless you have the complete knowledge and tools...
the best bet is to befriend the technician of the service company to do it for you (you might have to pay him extra).
I have a weird problem... I ordered the e-cig (China) and after extensive talks with local Customs office, National Medications Department and TNT, I could not get my shipment from them. The problem is, in Estonia the E-pipe is regarded as "medical device" and the cartridges and liquid as "medicine". So without proper license I cannot import them. There is also a way around this - if the package contains ONLY the E-pipe without ANY cartridges and is sent by private person (not company) I can import them because it is not considered as "ordering from internet". TNT can change the address on the package if they want but not the originating country. That's the problem actually... I was wondering if someone could help me with that?
Currently the package is at TNT's warehouse and waiting my instructions, for which I have two options now - send back or have it destroyed. Of course, sending back costs additional money, around 30$. The package contains 45$ e-pipe, some pipe accessories and e-liquid, total worth around 65$.
I am looking for someone from China willing to help - provide his/her address, have the package sent to there, take the "medicine" parts out of the package and send it back via regular post (it's cheaper). If You can make use of the liquid and cartridges, You might give me a discount on the postal charges, if not, I am willing to pay the costs via Paypal. I calculated 30$ for TNT and 10$ for regular post back to here.
There are two reasons I want to do this. One is for principle - to **** the Customs (government) for ****ing me. The other is that I don't like the idea of destroying the device - on one hand, corrupted as they are, they are probably taking it to themselves anyway. On the other hand, if not, it's not very environmentally sound thing to do.
Anyway, hope there are someone decent folk from China here willing to help.

Hi,
I was searching the net for reasonably cheap iphone deals and I found this company in the UK:
http://www.babbey.co.uk.pn/
the iphone 3g 16GB is for $350, + 30 pounds shipping, he ships worldwide.
He asked me to transfer the money via western union. do you think that he is a scammer? I don't know but he seems to be true. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If it's too good to be true...
By the way are you sure he's english? -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pn
Dave
at least he is under british control, these islands are british.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Islands
well, I don't know if it too good to be true coz I don't know how much does the iphone cost in bulk. Another thing that makes me feel relaxed is that he wants me to send the money to the UK and I am in the UK, too!
It's the Western Union bit that makes me cautious.
Also why would a UK based company register and even use a .pn domain, especially when the real .co.uk address is available?
I can't say for sure either way... but what guarantee's do you have?
If you do get scammed you'll have ignored all the warning bells... Price in $'s, Registered in the Uk, using Anon Payments, un-heard of, obscure domain, etc...
Also, look at these posts : http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...wRx&q="www.babbey.co.uk.pn"&btnG=Search&meta=
If in doubt, don't use them.
Dave
Hmm they say that they are a registered UK company under the number 04568517. how can I check if this is true?
EDIT: I checked that and found that it is true, they are a registered company (see link). is that enough for me to send my money via western union?

Any recommendations, experts?

Personally I wouldn't use it. But I am a sceptic and very cautious when it comes to money.
Have you read some of the tips to avoid scammers in the Marketplace? Some of his characteristics matches the warnings from other users.
Dave
dont do it..
one : The website is very poorly created, if he was a legitimate business he would more than likely use an e-commerce store.
two : googlemail email, hotmail msn, mobile numbers as contact numbers, meaning no trace back.
three : the address... he lives in a very remote place....
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...106062,0.16977&spn=0.001101,0.003455&t=h&z=18
four : a UK company trading in dollars? considering the seller would stitch himself up on the exchange rate this is definately something to question...
five : in looking up the details etc he posts randomly on forums and seems very similar to the typical
"we are an established company founded in "DATE" we are respectable and blah blah blah"
be careful.
oh and six? why western union?
and check this out..

Its a SCAM.
Just been on tv in Denmark. Guys like that want you to transfer through a Money Transfer Company - and then you cannot find them afterwards as those Companies dont know who gets the money.
So in Denmark the word is; NEVER transfer any money that way. Only use reliable companies - payment through credit card as we can get money back if it is a scam...
And - they use webhotels in good countries as a cheat, but are often living i Romania and places like that... !
definately looks like another scam...be careful!
So, I am not gonna do it. He called me today asking for the money and I told him I'll send the money on monday! he was not talking like a sales guy, he was speaking like this: "hello, how are you? when will you send the money" he seemed to be like a bull**** on the phone, I am not going to risk it anyway!
Thanks for your advice guys, I appreciate it
I would not do it, only if I could consider that money is worth nothing to me...Western Union? legal company would use another method of payment...
And yes gmail hotmail adresses seems to be poor...
good luke and cross your fingers
I even once had trouble with Visa card, then how would you follow our order after Western Union?
If it sound to good to be true chances are it is . its got Scam Written All over it the
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I am in a hurry to get a straight answer on this.
Is there any way to track a cell phones location by just knowing the cell number. My niece ran away yesterday with some other kid her age and they are planning to leave the state they live in. We reported the case to the police but they are treating it as a runaway case and not a missing person case, so they are no doing much. I know cell phones can be tracked through the 911 services now, but is there any other way legally or a hack of some sort to track a person by calling or sending them a message.
It is rumored that my niece is going to mexico which is not really an ideal place for a 16 yo girl, so you can understand why I am concerned.
good luck... and its a run away, shes not missing or kidnapped, and maybe she likes tacos?... but no, you cant do more than the police... plus you didnt even say what phone she has
Thanks for correcting my punctuation, cuz thats what I really needed. Maybe some one else a little mature can provide some helpful info.
Okay we spoke to the phone company which is pocket wireless in Texas. They told us that the phone's location could not be triangulated because they just cant do that. I was under the impression that all cell phones were mandated to be able to be tracked or at least triangulate their approximate position for emergency purposes. Some one please correct me if I am wrong.

Ouch. You should sue them. Tell em off or something. & I don't think its possible. I had my cliq stolen and they didn't.even raise a pinky in trying to find it. Tmobile btw. And you should warn a sherrif they seem more understandable than a waste of a costume you call an officer.

Depending on what phone she has they my not be able to track it. But almost all new phones have. Gps in them now. I got carjacked at gunpoint and left my phone in my truck and the police were able to triangulate it after some b.s. paperwork giving them permission to do so.
Had my truck back and intact within a couple hours. If I was you I would be at the police station harassing them to do it until they locked me up/threw me out or got off their asses nd did it.

I figured it would be due to laziness. I spoke to a couple people in law enforcement and they said it can be done but its whether the police want to mess with it or not. I guess since it's not one of their family members, they dont want to bother with it.

Is this fake? Or i really won?
If you entered a contest I would say it's a possibility it's legit. If you did not enter anything, it is definitely a scam.
But...did you read the terms and conditions?

Looks legit to me...

And the website matches the email address too. I'd say congratulations are in order. If you're still unsure, forward the email to me and I'll claim it
Let us know if it does prove to be real, but if it's not then it's a scam I'd fall for!

But you said you already sent them your address. If that is the case you might be SOL. They will look for any reason not to send you the $700 prize, because technically if you aren't a resident of those countries you weren't supposed to enter. I do hope you get your phone though. Congratulations and good luck to you!
