Hi,
I dunno where to post but if this thread is not suitable. Mod please move to suitable thread.
Today, my brother brought "Iphone 3Gs 32Gb" at the mobile fair at Kuantan. The event was organized by W&N Event. AT the booth they said this is all original Iphone. The price is RM1080 and u will get Iphone 3Gs + free china look alike iphone. So, my brother brought it as there are lot of people buying it too from the booth. So when he back at home and do the futher check, he found that the phone is actually Pinphone. So he return to the booth and ask for refund.The guy didnt want to refund and challenge to report to police or kdnhep. They said that this is not china but Singapore AP.
Can anyone give opinion on this and how to settle?

They stated at the booth that they sell all at 70% discount.. That why all ppl are cheated.
Pinphone is really high quality of Iphone 3gs. They use same lcd with iphone and really same menu. The only difference is Itunes and Compass which pinphone have white box and u need to turn around to calibrate the compass not figure of 8. They told that Itunes need to install later to everybody that come to the booth.

QUOTE(fyire @ Mar 14 2010, 11:17 PM) First of all, there's no such thing as an OEM set, or AP even, for the iPhone. In other words, there is only 1 iPhone, which is the one from Apple. Hence if the person sold you a phone from another manufacturer and claims that its an iPhone, then you may have a case. They may claim that you need to install iTunes later on, but there's still no way that you can get any non Apple products to sync with iTunes for either music or apps anyways. This is another point to your advantage. Which is also another reason why you should go to an authorized distributor too. So i have a case if they stated, Iphone 3Gs at receipt rite? I hope all ppl that buy from that booth realize that they actually have been cheated. W&N Event is KL based, do anyone heard of them before? I think LYN should have thread about how to differentiate the original and fake iphone. This post has been edited by cruztasia: Mar 14 2010, 11:24 PM |

QUOTE(boblp @ Mar 15 2010, 12:20 AM) how do i check the serial number? then wut should i do Simplest thing is to check the compass. That how i found out about Pinphone. The original needed you to do the figure of 8 to calibrate the compass but the china make needed u to turn around the phone. And.. china make compass interface is very ugly. But i still failed to agrue with the booth promoter. This post has been edited by cruztasia: Mar 15 2010, 12:35 AM |

QUOTE(fyire @ Mar 14 2010, 11:44 PM) Something to take note of though. Make sure you file the claim against the right party. I'm not sure who this W&N Event is (google does not turn up any relevant results), but if its a Mobile Fair organized by them, then chances are that the ones who sold you the phone is not the organizer, but some other company who had participated in the fair. Check the receipt for the actual party who sold the phone to you. This tends to be how such events work, where there's the organizer, and then the companies that takes part in the event setting up their booths. You can try making a separate complain to W&N as well about somebody in the fair they organized selling fake products and see how they respond. The same company arrived at Temerloh today. Alert to all warga Temerloh. Same company with different name. They also claim china BlackBerry as a original one. Fake Pinphone for RM900 each. Beware. |
