You better get on it, they might not be up tomorrow. I used paypal, so I'm comfortable it's legit.

I think you're the only one who would have anything to do with this website baseballbert. LOL

Now, what if the phone has something wrong with it when you get it ?

Hopefully not of course, but good luck with your bargain purchase all the way from Qatar.

I just got this from the site:
Dear Buyer ,

Thanks for your fast response but we no longer accept paypal for over few weeks now. we accept Western Union or money gram depending on the one nearest to you.

Your item has been packaged and ready for shipment and as soon as you get back now, we will send you an email with the Western Union data .

Await your prompt and fast response soon

Thanks
Mr John Freeman
Sales Manager

Scam?

I just activated a micro sim card in an iPhone (was reminded quickly how much iOS pretty much sucks), so we need to make this happen quick! May need to pay a little more for a more reputable site?

Trash the whole adventure and fire up the Focus again?

 

[TheWeeBear]

Well i certainly wouldn't have anything to do with it. I'd be buying a little nearer to home.

A brand new Lumia 800 for that price is a little too good to be true if you ask me.

Me smells something fishy on the interwebs. Two sites, only take western union, no regular websites, and a sales manager named Mr Smith.

Located in the UK now ? but the country of the seller on the ecrater website was Qatar ? That doesn't set alarm bells ringing for you ?

Originally $280, now it's $320 on your latest email ?

This has scam written all over it.

 

[baseballbert]

Two different stores, both appear shady as **** thanks to your "HEY YOU DUMB YANKEE SOB, USE YOUR HEAD!!" advice.

THANK YOU SIR!!

looking into an Omnia 7, problem is, I can only find 8gb models. The physical home button speaks to me!

 

[EricCantona]

Most sellers that require Western Union can be classified as scam.

Sent from my PI39100 using Board Express

 

[TheWeeBear]

The only country that had the 16GB Omnia 7 was Germany. Everyone else got 8GB. Pah!

Please baseballbert, have nothing to do with that Lumia sale! Scam for sure.

 

[baseballbert]

Definitely not, you really like your Omnia 7 right?

 

[TheWeeBear]

Definitely not, you really like your Omnia 7 right?

I really really do yes. Lots.

 

[baseballbert]

It looks like I might be able to get an 8gb one for about $70 (eBay funds make up the difference). Hmmmmm...

Mangos taste better than apples!

 

[TheWeeBear]

Only you know what you want baseballbert. Hmmmmm

 

[trmnta82]

I would never ever buy anything online from a seller that does not accept a major credit card or PayPal...

 

[peestandingup]

Dude, no offense, but why waste everyone's time with crap like this?? First in another thread about how you knew where to get a $400 euro Lumia 800 shipped to the states (then after being asked where you were seeing this, the site magically "dried up"). Now this (which is CLEARLY a scam).

Again, no offense, but why even post this stuff??

 

[baseballbert]

Because I thought it was a good way to get the info out to site about s great deal. Thought it was legit until the western union thing.

That's pretty much why.

@BaseballBert......I got lucky a few months ago on Amazon and was able to get a 16GB unlocked/unbranded Samsung Omnia 7 for about $250 brand new. Now the only ones I see are the 8GB. Mine was completely unbranded too....no branded boot up screens or anything.

I am sure ebay must have people selling the 16GB versions for a good deal considering they were being sold on Amazon, etc.....

The omnia 7 is a fantastic phone LOVE the metal back too The entire phone speaks "quality" and feels great in the hand. If you do end up getting one, you will love it and its what the Samsung Focus SHOULD have been originally in terms of physical build.

Off topic....just picked up a Focus Flash today...couldn't resist

There was actually a game store online that sold all the latest PC games like CoD, Battlefield...etc..cheap. They were all legit copies, except you would get a foreign CD or DVD. Most of the time you could change the language after you loaded it, like from Russian to English, and sometimes you couldn't. At least you would get a legit copy of the game cheap.

Been using iPhone 4 today (needed microsim activated so I can unlock and sell), and it has sucked. No back button. No hubs, cant post to multiple accounts at once, keyboard doesn't suggest words, pretty much not digging it. Ca t edit docs without $30 in new apps, and I miss skydive.

WP is SO much better, been using my new Focus Touch for everything!!
