This is not a dispute as i did not purchase from the forumer after a close check.
I shall disclose more info if deemed necessary by mods.
If this is suppose to be in Resource center, kindly move it there and sorry for the trouble.

Date of transaction: 21/12/2010

Details of the complaint :

Saw a forumer(Will disclose along with phone number if asked by mods) put up an ad of iPhone 4 32GB on sale for RM2799 negotiable.
Price seems good especially when Christmas is around the corner and market demand > supply.
Contacted seller and arranged meetup with a low negotiated price.

1st look on the phone, sealed pack, with Maxis Warranty card.
On a closer look, IMEI on warranty card different from box!
Font used at the back of the box is china like!
Sticker at the back have "iPhone xxxx Black" where the xxxx is actually a piece of white paper seems to stick and cover whatever is hidden below. Proper wording should be "iPhone4, Black, 32GB".
Seller even challenged to open box and check.
My guess, seal if opened then sure force me to buy, thus rejected the offer.
Seller seems scared when i checked warranty online and Serial number is found not existed!
Deal not done, said thank you and walked away.



Guys, u have been warned!

Moved to resource center

Wahh clone also got maxis services card ooo ..damn!!! guys those who want buy iphone..pls double triple check especially on imei no..must match with three things like box imei,maxis/dg services card imei and iphone itself imei..and 3 thing for country code as well..and pls google it about ori iphone as well to avoid being cheated..else u will regret if u just buy it without checking

What proof u expect? Snap a photo of the phone and him as well?
To be on the safe side, tried not to provoke/do anything funny while COD that time. Manatau he got brothers nearby?
Anyway, i welcome the seller to clarify here, and perhaps tell us who is his lucky buyer.
Then we'll know.
I still have his phone number with me.

bring a laptop/phone with mail access and check the serials number online with apple. thats all will do

Actually my brother is the one that COD with him as my brother was in PJ that time(near to the seller).
I was at the other end checking the serial online.
BOOM, serial no. not existed!

But software totally different if clone set compare original set? Or is it software same as ori?

Din open up n test as i duwan further complication.
Later he say once sela broken, considered sold then i headache..
Read today's paper, police caught imitation china phone seller~

Then how could u check serial number whithout turn on the phone? but without activate we can't detect serial nos details rite?

It's written at the back of the phone box la wey

Well , if u guys r curious how real the fake Iphone 4 looks like , check out this link

Seller did mentioned clearly its a copy but he did provide a picture of actual clone iphone 4 with the box

What is the exact website to check the IMEI number? Thanks

i assume it's - https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

Hope you can post photo to explain where to check, bcoz it is more clearly for people to check...TQTQ

this is the GUI of china iphone
snap by 1 of my frenz

that column is not for IMEI...
it's for Serial Number...

cheater always like that..beware guys..

Please reveal the phone number for us.....

china iphone can get for 200usd, this fella selling for 2.7k plus i wonder what happen if u open and check inside the box.

China Iphone 90 USD can get already.

how to check the serial number on the iphone4 box weather the serial number is real or not?

haiz... y la ori iPhone not 90 USD oso

check the IMEI and serial number on the Sim Tray.. many ppl dunno that at the Sim Tray got Serial Number and IMEI

u rite..we still can check the IMEI & serial number..also can check at apple web..

bro, mind post up some picture?

Jus be careful while dealing with iPhone 4, read a news from taiwan tv program , lots of china made imitation iPhone 4 white existing in the market, it has serial and imei number too, almost the same with real ip4, but still able to detect by checking the imei/serial through apple support and warranty service .

i think another method to check is real iphone or not is see the screw. ori iphone is use pentabular screw.

ok firstly i wanna say,if the seller offer u iphone4 brand new rm 1000 below(means cheap la) then its definitely china set.if he say ori then the seller is talking cock or he was born dumb.....if its really a ori iphone,then good for u la...maybe is curi set or watever la...but 98% is always a fake set for rm 1000 below la....
