from the conversation make me feel fishy about the way of the seller talking..
just want to share out,not intention to shoot some one.

there are so many scammer trying to earn a huge money from LYN bulk
whice deal in USD and a very SUPER CHEAP PRICE
and they you ask you to transfer money by WESTERN UNION

Isn't this the infamous Nigerian scamming method? It was an obvious scam case, $300 for an iPhone?
Well, thanks for putting up this awareness but no dispute is involved, so I shall think this thread will be closed soon.

couldnt find the thread....have been deleted?

no,still at bulk sale there
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/561106

ask him does he have stock in hand ??
if answer yes ... then ask him to take the pic of the ten unit Iphone ..... (see his response) .....

what tax he claim ? the tax suppose to be malaysia tax ...

ask him which country he in now ? able to do cod or not (after he tell the location, lucky u have a friend stay there) ...

haha,will try to ask that when he online later.hah

haha, you should ask him send 60% of the phones to you, then you pay 100%

It's so obvious that it was a scam. Buy 2 free 1 promotion? Don't think so

Tell you,

It's total kiddo malaysian writing style I can see it

smell fishy

er,wat u mean?u mean the seller are frm malaysia is it.？/

look at the conversaction history
he just keep on said he was a realiable seller and has a company
but when asked for the detail, he will trying to play TAI KEAT
when asking for his company website...lame reason...the website is under maintanaice bla bla..

it is good to let you know this kind of scammer....as a few lack of experience people will fooled by the cheap price

A professional "Sales manager" know how to use 'lol' word??

And all the english is totally, understandable in broken way. Even Nigeria's scammer will handle and liase with you in more professional way.
This is secondary school language + asian style of writing.

Just FYI, iPhone in the US is going cheap, $300 can get already, i know because my fren`s mother just bought iPhones for all his family members

But it isnt unlocked though

and another info, all apple products in us are going cheap

cheap doesn't mean buy 2 free 1...

Well, this is not a dispute although the intention was good.
Moving this to Trade Zone Resource Centre

ya i knw, just telling that its not impossible to get one at $300

ah,this is China Fujian Fuzhou area scamming branded electronic item style

Some high school brat thinking that he was clever and cunning enough to trick an adult?
