as soon as a new phone comes out there are always loads of scammers purporting to have it for cheap

watch out for chinese scammers who supposedly have cheap deals from china

there are a few on london gumtree at present

the giveaway is our old friend western union or moneygram

if you see that walk away


reporting the ad would be nice too

yeah my brother was going to get 2 iphones for a mates mate. But i could clearly tell it was fake. I told him before hand that he'll recieve an email telling him to send the money via moneygram or western union, and after his reply back. BINGO! thats what happened. To some extent its good that scammers are advertising, it gives me more experience and helps me be more cautious
