Today i went to the Curve and im going back at 5 something.when i was actually walk out of the main entrance and smoking beside maybank.suddenly got 1 INDONESIAN came forward to me and show me his N97mini.he told me this set he steal from nokia centre and offering me 600 only.initially i rejected his offer but he hard sale and reduce the price to rm400 because he need cash urgently.then i was actually walk to maybank and cash out rm400 for him.

When i pass rm400 to him he take out another n97mini white and put it into my pocket and request for another 400 again.i wasnt too excited and calm down thinking bout is it this n97mini genuine?LUCKILY im phone trader and once i checked the phone i realized its china set but its really HIGHLY LOOK ALIKE N97mini.just want to share this experience to all dear lyn members and hope u all wont get cheated by this kind of ppl.

u can see these ppl at KESAS RNR as well,usually the phone model is N95 8GB or N96. whenever they approach me i just wave them off without giving them any chance to come near me, believe me,if its ori they better off sells them to phone shop,y bother waiting at the KESAS RNR n try to sell to ppl?

which one is fake ? the 1st one or the 2nd one or both?

my experience was at Pasar Road. Of course the demo set is real but he says he will give a new one to me not the demo one. Luckily I did not buy...

I guess not only N97 or iPhone...china phones can basically look very similar like a real phone.


When the deal is too good to be true, for sure there is some tricks up the sleeve.

Nowdays many phones got imitation already.

2 years ago when i was buying a N95 in lowyat plaza i nearly got cheated by a shop.

I did ask around for original and AP price. Back then it was Rm2000+ for ori and RM1600+ for AP set of N95 but when i ask at a shop(more rather a stall) near the corner he offer me RM1200+ for AP set so i was pretty exited but when i look into that phone in detail i found out many funny things. RM1200 for a imitation N95 @__@" and what surprises me was the UI. It looked 98% same as the N95(because i have never own or seen any N95 properly back then)so i went and withdraw money from the ATM and i thought why is there such big difference with the price so i thought it might be a refurbished set. Luckily the end i settled for the RM1600+ AP set. Lucky me lols.. xD

they cant sell it in phone shops with high price anymore haha..

my friend's phone shop require photostat IC or Passport from foreigner if they wanna trade in phone just incase they are stole set..

He told me that if they dun wanna show IC then he take the phone below RM100 only. biggrin.gif

*edit*
nothing comes free and becareful of cheap and tempting offers even from LYN xD

because i believe that if we give super rates to customer they will always be back for more so that we can prolong our business instead of only doing one time business. biggrin.gif

agreed,
a genuine, good and quality gadget/item ain't cheap
money worth for value!
but still got a lot of consumer looking for cheap cheap item to meet their budget, in the end, most of them been cheated which they think the gadget/item meet their budget and they sue/complaint that the whole KL area are the cons business traders.
But still got some brilliant consumers that wont end up like that, but sadly to say, most of them got limited budget only, and they keep sms / pm me and ask me am i willing to sell my Pre-owned N97 Mini (full set with 10months warranty) according their budget!?
OMG.... rclxub.gif

again, back to track,
dear all consumers
Genuine item/gadget aint cheap (no such as duty free / promotion stuff *really cheap like hell*)
i believe ALL LYN traders are selling with very reasonable price!


peace~ icon_rolleyes.gif

this type of conmen oso exist in lelong & mudah.

they put real life photo of the real phone, but then they sent u fake one.
if the buyer realizes this, they will say 'oh, we wrongly post' & do refund.
if buyer never realizes, then they untung kaw2 liao.
they are verified sellers, thats why people easily trust them.

basically, they just tried out their luck.

basically no need to check pun when someone offered u such low price.
If a real n97 can sell at such low price, he can might as well trade in in any local shops.
