Take note of DISHONEST seller - James82 93585809 / 83438259
Dear all,

Would like to raise an awareness in this community to all who are buying mobile phones here on this seller "James82" 93585809.

Confirm a purchase with him on a local set Samsung S3 32gb white phone on the 18th October and other accessories for the phone at a total bill of $886.

He sent his runner using this number 83438259 to deliver the phone, he start up the phone and pass it to me. I acknowledge that this was my mistake to not have done the start up myself to have miss the "Yes Optus" logo on the phone to know that it is an export yet. After checking everything is ok, I paid the seller and took the phone.

Returning home that night, I on the phone then I realized that I was cheated. Texted the seller, he was not apologetic and claims that he is going overseas and can only settle this problem next week, without giving a specific date.

Given his response I doubt he will do any exchange or anything, hope that this will serve as a warning for all of you here and this is definitely a lesson learnt.

Btw this is the address on his invoice, Mocean Mobile No.458 Geylang Lorong 24A #01-13, Singapore 398458. Tel: 67459905 Fax: 67459909.

Export sets usuaLLy dont have any warranty.Buy at your own risk, which means there is no recourse if it's fauLty
etcc..hence they are priced substantiaLLy cheaper than LocaL sets.

Why buy in geylang? plenty of phone shops in town.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

Geylang is only useful for cheap throw away sim cards and phones. If you're going to buy a Samsung Galaxy S3, get it at a telco shop.

 

[tualingong]

As long it is new and works can already lah!

Mai Hiam lah! Who the heck look at your startup screen?

Have so many gadgets still not happy?

 

[eErotica69]

Think the phone is locked to telco optus cos' seller probably got it cheap from aussieland as original owner bought it cheap from optus. Knn, this one very easy to solve lah, just go to samsung and ask them to unlock the phone. Think they just connect usb cable to the phone and upload software become local set liaoz.

Morale of story, neber gian pern and buy frim chow bengs like me.

 

[laksaboy]

Serves the fella right for doing business with an Ah Beng shop.

How much can you save by buying stuff from an Ah Beng shop instead of a telco retail outlet?

Gian png Sinkies: penny wise, pound foolish.

They're like myopic farm animals, they only see the food in front of them but can never see the butcher knife that awaits them.

I learnt the same lesson when I bought my first iPhone. I bought it at a shop in Pearl Centre thinking it was new. Holy shit, the phone gave me problem within 3 weeks and after getting some advice, I realised that it was not a local set. Probably 2nd hand sold by someone who was bored of playing with it after getting it overseas. Since then, I make it a point to get my gadgets at authorised resellers only.
