US iPhone Scammer
Post 1 of 138
Someone calling themselves many different business names including most recently C&K Phones is a scammer.  Searching has uncovered an individual that goes by Keith Lessard in West Virginia.  Most recently he has scammed a person who contacted me about finding suppliers.  We found the company as being fraudulent via our trade group and had a member that had already tried to contact the company earlier in the year.  Unfortunately the person from the other day has been scammed.  Search engines reveal more information.  Again, is it worth it?  To spend all day trying to verify someone with a great iPhone price only to be another scammed victim.  We have beatten this subject to death in here about where iPhones are and where they are not.  What is a scammer price and what is not.  Also we have covered tips to verify companies.  Be smart about trading, stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

Honestly you even cannot trust the verification companies. You need to either have a vet give you suppliers who are verified or visit the company yourself.

Yes, you are correct. It is very funny and sad sometimes. There is another post for iPhones at $300 each. Here are some realistic prices.

Legitimate US supplier of new and unlocked phones has 3GS Apple iPhones ver 3.1, 16GB $595 US, 32GB $695 US. Supplier contact details provided to members of the network.

Yes the company who has these phones is legitimate and they will not last long. If anyone is interested in any nokia N97 at 520 a unit unlocked they are available. There  is alot of offers coming out in the past few days, so everyone be real careful about who they deal with, it seems people are taking legitimate offers and using them to scam people. Please everyone be careful also if you have given a credit card authorization in the past month and not recieved any products, it seems there is some people with strange charges on their cards. On another note, someone who we work with, was working a deal for us and we had a client fly in from austria to meet the supposed supplier and when they met, the customer said everything about it was fishy, the people who we went through who was supposed to have known this suppplier for a long time was very young and inexperienced at this business, here was a gentleman who flew in from another country expecting to meet with professional businessmen and sign a contract for phones. In the end the guy who was supposed to be the supplier who also was supposed to be a big millionaire businessman tells the client he left his license at home. Now I know this, if I am going to do a 1 million dollar deal and expecting someone to hand over over 100000 to me from the start then I think I would bring some kind of identification. well it seems that this supplier is not somebody to order from, also this is the same people I believe who is putting out credit card deals on iphones and they never deliver. There is alot of fishy things going on in this business right now. so everyone be careful out there.  If it seems to good to be true it usually is.  I will give you a legitimate company in HOng KOng and go there on his website and then msn him and ask him his price for the iphone.   If you tell him you want to pay what some oft these offers are going for, he will just close the window on you, thinking you are either crazy or a scammer. there is plenty of legitimate companies out there. if someone wants a legiitmate company just let me know, the price is high, but his moq is only 20 and they have all the references you need and you can even go there and pick up the phones if you like.  I am not involved just tired of all these fake offers and seeing people getting scammed.

Yes you are right about pay pal they are owned by ebay and they only really protect ebay purchases, there is however places to go and just pick up small number of iphones. If you are willing to pay the 825 price for them you can go to texas and pick up 50 at a time. also the company glenn is talking about, you can go there and pick up phones, there is places and there is legitimate resellers. If someone really knew how the true mobile phone traders worked they would be surprised, nearly all legitimate companies is by bank wire and a small few will take credit cards, but not many.  I can get you iphones iman, if you want to pay the price, right there in europe you can go pick them up for 880 a phone 50-100 at a time. He will let you come to his place of business and purchase. Now on another note, there is a good offer from what I have found out here in the states, in fact it seems out of all the offers there is 2 for sure legitimate with secure payment methods, there is also one that is lower in the low to mid 700"s for 20% down and the rest upon reciept at a freight forwarder of the buyers choice as long as it is a legitimate freight forwarder. this is probably one of the biggest mobile phone distributors in europe and they have been in business for many years, you can not go on to their website until you have become a customer of theirs a few times.  Welll I have said enough, Good Luck to all and Happy Hunting.  GOD BLESS!

Let us do the math.

In Germany I know of 24 legitimate suppliers.

In the UK I know of 29 legitimate suppliers including a VERY LARGE company who has been in business for years and HAS done LARGE 3GS iPhone orders.

In Europe, not including Grmany or the UK I know of  43 legitimate suppliers.

So that is 96 suppliers just in Europe. 

The same numbers I have for other parts of the world.  There is only one question to those who want legitimate, verified, known suppliers of new, unlocked, and genuine cellular phones?

Where would you like to pick them up at?
