threegee Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 A new £460 Nokia e90 smartphone for £100. What a bargain!http://www.tootoomart.com/product-1260176-...+Game+Function/But look closely and you'll see it's a cheap dual band GSM phone dressed up to look like one. Does it even work as well as your £30 budget phone of reputable make?There's a million such cons. Beware of what you buy out there - especially on That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds!
Blank Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Not surprising its fake considering it's being sold on a China Wholesale website... is it even possible to buy genuine items from these types of sites?

Free shipping or not!
threegee Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Not surprising its fake considering it's being sold on a China Wholesale website... is it even possible to buy genuine items from these types of sites?Yes, but it sometimes isn't as plain as it seems. A bit over a year ago I bought a new "English Language" Nokia N73 from an That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds trader with stacks of ++++ feedback. It turned out to have a Chinese box and instructions and a non-standard data lead. Some sort of cheap version for the Asian market. Wouldn't even talk to the Nokia link software or re-flash - just identified itself to the PC as storage. Probably was "genuine" Nokia but nothing you'd buy from a proper phone shop. Seller ignored first complaint and I had to complain to That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds. Even when I was promised a refund and returned it promptly they took weeks refunding and I had to complain again. Never refunded shipping and I had the return postage and insurance to pay to boot!Thing was it wasn't particularly cheap either. I could have bought good second hand for less.I wouldn`t touch sites like that with a barge-pole. Free shipping or not! You don't have to; there are plenty of traders who will do it for you.
Monsta® Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 reminds me of them fake cameras back in the 90's they had names like olympia and nikki etc. made to look like an expensive SLR however it was a simple point and click! dodgy chinese fakes
