I was surprised to see this ad in Mudah.com.my, selling Brand New Original Apple iPhone 3G 16GB Unlocked at an unbelievable price of RM1,400. Others are selling at more than RM3,000, this dude is selling it at half of the price!

Of course I wanted to get this 3G iPhone at this kind of insane price. I emailed the seller yesterday and today I received a reply.

IMHO Buying it from this guy is one of the riskiest thing to do.
i) If the parcel got blocked by custom, you got to kiss it good bye because it got no SIRIM seal.
ii) Unlike buying from ebay, you got no way to complaint/refund if the it LOST or even get cheated..

these ppl roughly know how the law in malaysia functions and the hassle if they were to try to get back their money (near impossible). Why not ask someone in UK contact this fella and do a COD with him.

it’s fake. People like these have been trying to operate out of Hardwarezone for quite some time. Basically…if it’s overseas don’t buy em. It’s the next Nigerian scam albeit with a techno twist. Pls warn friends and families.

Looks like a con job. Maybe try a more reliable marketplace like ebay.

It’s easy to know that this is actually a con-man business..
He said,
-Sealed in manufacturer box, Never been opened..
If the Sealed is not opened, how can it be unlocked? Unless he owned the apple factory.. hehe

Whatever you do dude, DON”T BUY from this fella. At that price, it cannot even cover his cost, let alone make a decent profit. It is a scam of the higest level, only stupid ones will fall. Go to LowYat of BB Plaza to check out the unlocked ones that we malaysians just are not fortunate enough to have the official iPhones 3G, yet!!!

Its a 100% con job. This people operate with so many email add. Also dont trust sellers that says they are working with the customs and they get smuggled stuff , thats why its cheap. they say they dont do cod to protect their identity.its a con job but by a team of professional con man.

dont transfer any single cent to them!!!
i has tried, and i get cheated!
they are scammer from nigeria, nigeria is a world of scammer!!!
1st time, maybe u order 2 units. they may ask u transfer money to UK, but after that, they may tell that their packaging dept. accidently shipped 10 units to u, then they will ask u to pay for another another 8 units. this time, they will give u the address, which the payment u need to made to, the country will be NIGERIA. they are lier, scammer, and will cheat u in very professional way! if u not aware, u will get cheat. here is a example, ME!

It has probably been stolen. Even though you get PayPal protection they might not be able to do anything when it comes to stolen goods.
