I hope i have save someone from FAKE IPhone 4 syndicate in jusco area shopping complex. while at Starbucks i saw a guy selling IP 4 at jusco worker. when they have make a deal i stop that worker and advise him to be careful. Becoz i have a lodge a police report at puchong area about this unwanted activity. So people out there PLEASE be careful with a Chinese guy age around 40's ask you to buy the Iphone 4 with very cheap price. Using a same reason got broke coz of gambling at genting and need money to go home at penang and showing only genting ID and not well spoken in Malay or English. If you insist to buy PLEASE bring someone knowledge able about it and make sure you got a lot of backup.

lol.. china iphone i saw it before ppl selling at pasar malam.. at least it functioning.. but this one really pissing ppl off with IP4 mockup with metal plate inside.. they will show you the damn real IP4 with ios 4.3.3 inside with multitask enable. they let you play around and they switch it between ur eyes while you give him money and take off the sim card out... while in ur head u had buy a cheap thing that might be stolen and afraid to check it out around public.

IC, then you play along.. while testing the phone, you hold it tight and don't give it back to the person!

Hm...talk about this Fake IP4 last few week go Kotaraya wanna buy nokia battery from those small shop...then the seller ask me wanna buy IP4 or not ? I ask him back how much he said RM1500 for 32 GB ...i say is this china set ? he say no la is AP set that is why so cheap...so i still suspect i ask him using normal sim card or micro sim card....then he reply micro sim card....any sifu or bro know those phone really IP4 or china set ? Is china set IP4 can used micro sim card now also ? The shop i ask is at ground floor at the right side on the front entrance...any way i saw few of the shop got sell also...any one can help to verify?

with the prediction of incoming ip5, i think more people will try to sell ip4 cheaper than usual price. its goin to be messy for sure just to verify the originallity of the phones.

bro samurai: condolence to u bro. cam bro neato said, doa byk2, insyaallah doa org teraniaya akan terjawab.

I noticed the seller used the reason to take out the simcard and at the same time changed the phone. So my advise, better u keep the pin which used to take out simcard from iphone 4 in your wallet so if he want his simcard back, u can take it out yourself. That's what i'm doing right now smile.gif

the better way is insert your sim card and tested with making a call, wifi and all basic check...if no problem on it, just put it back into your pocket and paid...then get off

do you know that iphone uses micro sim? unless you're actually using one, your technique cannot be used.
