nate256 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 So Someone here recommended that I email this guy about buying the 1st gen iphone, you need to transfer him money with this money service from wal mart. I have emailed him and he has responded to all my questions and SEEMS like a nice guy but you know could be faking it. So if any one could check him out in london for me cause i am in the US I would really appreciate it! or if you have delt with him and know if he is legit. thanks I would be willing to send someone some cash through paypal if they would go down to his shop and check it out for me. thanks nate on a side note, if you are selling a first gen iphone or know a good place to buy one let me know dont wanna pay the 3G data when i dont have 3G.... UPDATE: Did some google work and people have done business with him, none had ever received their products! so it is a SCAM! but if you live in London i would go to the address to take a peek here is his info XANOTELL LIMITED Address:FIRST FLOOR, 725 GREEN LANES, LONDON, N21 3RX Incorporation Date:12-10-2004 Contact email:chendar@live.com Registered No:05256771 and the prices Apple iPhone 4GB --- $130 Apple iPhone 8GB --- $160 Apple iPhone 16GB -- $200 Apple iPhone 8GB 3G - $219.99 Apple iPhone 16GB 3G - $250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yo, sounds a bit dodgy. Rather check craigslist or buy from a reputable seller on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate256 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 ya but for the price of one on ebay i will just get the 3G i think and bit the bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopmonkey Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 NEVER EVER use a transfer service on ebay. Always use Paypal. This seems like a classic ebay scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the prices man, where can you get prices like that? In ferrytale land... Just type his email address into google. He spams on a lot of forums but he doesn't have a website. A business man that sells phones on the Internet without a website. Yeah right. And then the prices... He sells a HTC TYTN 2 for 200bucks. That is just not possible...

nate256 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 The one from craigs list is actually 350 so i may just grab a 3G...but i already have a AT&T contract so it will cost me $400 but 30 bucks a month for 3G data when there is no 3G in my area sucks!!! is 3G coverage spreading fast? oh and i read some where that this guy has scammed people so it is a confirmed scam! oh btw if you are looking to sell your iphone email me nateconrad@bebopz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Scam, scam, scam and also SCAM. That's it!!!! Never did transaction on ebay whitout Paypal. Paypal is insured for the fraud etc. Don't put yourself vulnerable to fraud with the fact you're dropping your shield and make a transfer service. Anyway, price for price on ebay, if you got fooled, after you will stand with nothing concrete in your hand and you'll lost 400$ (ex.). And after, I'm not sure you had the money for buying another "legit" one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
