Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

That sounds really dangerous. To be honest, I have yet to encounter the first legal company/site based in China that sells mobile phones. I am fairly sure it will turn out to be a scam, do you have a website they have linked you to?

They have no website (I've found a couple of strange versions - one of them called cellulartron.en.nobodybuy.com :shock: ) and operate through a hotmail free webmail account and claim to be able to secure sources of major brand electronic appliances, and also trade those goods at cheaper prices than major retailers.

What if they send you nothing ?

The web is filled with scammers and fake websites offering to sell you discounted electronics and have no intention of sending you anything.

Any seller associated wih forum spamming should be avoided.

Okay thanks guys I just thought that since they are from china so they can afford to sell them at lower prices because they are manufactured there

I have to agree with gomerpyle here - I found various sites with their ads and I have to say that their introduction line reads as posts made by forum spammers, which I suspect they are. They have different phone numbers (always mobiles) depending on what site you look, sometimes a fax, sometimes none. There are more reasons to assume they are fake than there are they're legitimate, so I'd definately not trust them one bit.

Okay thanks for your input. Do you happen to know of any legitament phone suppliers?

I'd generally trust a shop that you can actually walk back in to, in person, if anything goes wrong. There must be a shop near you.

Network carriers also sell phones.

There are no shops that are worth buying anything to resell sadly :( Is it even possible to find iPhone wholesalers
