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.

Yes,

I'm sure that ID Designs is a scammer.
I've ordered with him for around €3500 and after two months, I'm not getting the goods and I'm also not getting my money back.

I've also another deal rolling, where I'm getting commissions off and now he's telling me that when the deal won't finish and won't end in a good way, I need to pay my losses too and then he will pay me my money back.
That will say, that I need to pay MORE money, before I will get my money back.

That sounds pretty much like a scammer.

Kind regards,

What can you do when you lose that amount of money?
I contacted his bank about this, I've contacted the head office and I've contacted my police and my bank. What can we do more? Contact the Latvia police about this stuff?

Trading safely is not rocket science. It is very easy. For months the members of the network have known about the crooks at IDDesigns. When we tried to verify them for our supplier list and could not a warning email went out immediately! If you or anyone is a serious trader who wants to work with verified, legitimate suppliers then all you need to do is visit our blog and sign up for a one year membership. Then you can stop loosing money and start making money.

It seems that everyone thinks that this is a get rich quick business. That is not true, there is always a process to follow with legitimate suppliers. There are all types of list out there of verified mobile phone distributors. if someone wants to really make money and  I don't mean becoming a millionaire over night. But make a consitent living, then I have sources for nokia, samsung, motorola, and sony ericcson phones. There is about 10 I have available now, from one of the biggest suppliers in asia, that are consistently making profit margins on ebay. There are so many legitimate companies that if you were to approach any of them with some of these questions they would just disregard you. This is a business that you build upon by coming a client of a real company, not out chasing offers that brokers offer everywhere. I have done this and now have finally seen the true path to making it in this business. If someone thinks that the only money in mobile phones is in iphones, they are truly mistaken.  I have available right now the HTC HERO White in color for 473 dollars. If you go to ebay you will see that this particular model is selling for over 529 and upward on ebay. some as high as 559. I know this sounds like a advertiesment. But if you were to look hard enough and search hard enough these prices and others are out there. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me anytime. For anything you are looking for their is a wholesale source out there. game consoles, video games, phones, computers, aparell and anything else. If you have a retail store, there is places you can buy so many different things to stock with good margins. Well I hope this helps some people from losing money. I am here to help as best I can.

I am thinking the HTC Hero is more like $466.  In fact it is via the correct contact.  Charles Kennedy is correct that this is not a get rich quick business like many who are on this site think.

I copied this from another post. The only person I have had a conversation with is Copely, who was unable to provide any evidence that her company was legitimate. Therefore members of the network were alerted to her months ago and I think I posted about her o this site too.

Also, here are three other individuals located in the US that are scamming others:

1. Christina Copley, Trio Distribution in North Carolina

2. Robert Beague, Etroniks in Florida

3. Elain Roberts, (she has several different companies), in Connecticut

I have received the following email and if you were a member of the network you would have already known this information and have over 100 verified/legitimate sources for all models of new cellular phones.  Stop wasting your time.

 

I got warned by a broker friend of mine. A guy named Charles using the email y.wells@hotmail.com or using the name
chezki wells is shady. He was claiming to want to buy 1,000 phones but would not show proof of funds with a name on it, wouldn't buy a sample on credit card and after he was shown pictures with stock, they were blasted out saying they were their stock. scammers started using their pictures shortly after sending them to Charles. I even got one of the pictures from a random email address I'd never seen before.

Hey Glen I am interested in buying in bulk and reselling, any chance you could point me in the direction of a trust worthy supplier? I assume I have the equity to order a quantity that will be beneficial to the supplier as well as provide me with a lower overall cost. I would prefer to trade with someone I can meet face to face at least once before trading even if this means I need to fly to China. I am looking for a long-term business relationship. Any assistance you can provide is sincerely thanked in advance, please contact me on either geordie@creativeink.com.au gm17@live.com.au or reply to my post. Geordie.
