Ar, c'mon Ranger you must be kidding mate.

Of course you can buy good brand name stuff from China.

Heck, just this morning Alibaba itself invited me to buy iPhones from one of its trustworthy Chinese GOLD sellers ... and for an incredibly low price too.

Alibaba would not lie to me, would it?

Here, look at this below email to me "signed" by Alibaba itself.

So there you have it Ranger ... straight from the horse's mouth ... direct from Alibaba itself ... no way in this world would Alibaba directly solicit me to buy those half price iPhones in its above email to me if the phones were fake.

Note also that Ali's email says the seller is a "pre-qualified Gold Supplier" meaning that Ali has checked them out.

Replying to [Ranger]:This man who has set up the website has just gone mad I think.Because without seeing the topic of the posting he is just writing about his services and goods.Please take some action against him at the earliest.

Replying to [Ranger]:THANKS FOR THIS AWARENESS

Replying to [Aussie]: Your right Aussie, my spam file gets hit about 20+ times a week. But since my email is filtered only contacts whose email addresses I have added ever get seen.
