is this scam??

I found an instagram account name Bulksales. they sale a lot of phone such as iphone, galaxy note 3. the price of the phone is so cheap, e.g iphone 5s is $150.. so can I trust them?

Do they have a website ? Was this solicited via email ? If so cut and paste the email here .

jjones.​tgregory@gmail.​com.. seller's email..they say that they collided with amazon, hey said this to me '"Bulk" is a 2nd party of amazon. We get 75% off of whatever we order! You want a iPhone 5s normally on amazon it's about 800$ we can get it for you for 150$.' (copy and paste from our conversation)

It is a scam - no one sells popular branded goods like iPhones at a 75% discount.

He'll want the money transferred by Western Union or Moneygram and then you'll never hear from him again (unless it is to try and scam more money from you).

the payment is using a gift card from amazon.com to his email..

^^^ Same concept - untraceable and irreversible once sent.

That alone confirms it is 100% scam.

Apple does not give that kind of discount to anyone at all, even major phone carriers.. Major phone carriers are able to offer a lower price on the phones because they make their money on the calling plans they attach to the phones. A seller that isn't a major phone carrier would have to charge even more for the phone, not less.

The same is true of the other suppliers--a 75% discount simply does not exist, and the best discount would be given to the high-volume resellers, not some unregistered company that takes amazon gift cards as payment.

Apple products are all price locked, meaning no matter where you buy them, the price can not dip below a certain point. Thats why sometimes you see Big Box stores giving a "free" giftcard when you buy an iphone or whatever, because they can not legally lower the price on it (this is same with many companies)
It is a TOTAL SCAM
You will never see your money again!
There is no way to trace that!
Please do NOT do it
Ask anymore questions you need to

I don't know how to make this clear to you.

IT IS A SCAM - No one has the ability to offer 75% discount on Apple products. You send him the gift card and you'll never hear from him again.

You are wasting your time communicating with him.

I know, I just want to show you the screen capture. im investigating the instagram account (Bulksales). and i want to tell people in Instagram that don't trust the seller. I'll not buying phone from online.
