hello guys. i was just searching through the net to see if can get the best price available for an iphone4s and i came across this:

lakemacquarie.olx.com.au/new-apple-iphone-4s-64gb-unlocked-in-box-iid-267836625

it says they are selling iphone for 300AUD. i have sent this guy an email and it came with a reply like this:
Thanks for the mail.

i have surfed alittle more to track where this email came from, and it turns out its a server hosting site based in Melbourne: http://www.rackcentral.com.au/ under ip: 103.11.52.118

it is too good to be true right? thanks guys.

Hello okddr016!

Yep you are correct! The truth is if you are lucky you might get a good deal on a used iPhone but your not going to get a brand new one for half retail cost and certainly not going to get one free for buying three. There are a ton of these scams out there. Save yourself a lot of grief and money in the long run and only buy from a reputable online seller or better yet in person.
