now a day china factory make anything
including nokia, samsung phone for window display
that means they make the phones to look exactly like
the real thing but inside is empty
it was primarly made for shop owners who want to display their phone in the window
but con men turn it into thier advantage
they buy it for $2 to $3 dollar a piece
then sell it ...
Con case 1
one of my 'friend' (not really my friend, just some old greedy fellow I know)
he went to malaysia (KL) one day
while waiting at the bus stop
a china man approach him and sell him a samsung handphone
he says he can sell him cheap
finally a deal was struck
it sold to the old man for M$80
retail price was S$150
for a while he tot he was a proud owner of the latest phone at a very good price
later he realised he was conned
he open up to check the battery but found a piece of rock..
he came back to singapore
and boasted that he bought a samsung phone at very cheap price
I was amazed at him and wanted to know where he got it
becos I wanted to get it also to sell on ebay for a profit
he keep dogding the question and refused to let me take a closer look at the phone
this old man is nasty, he kenna conned and still want to go on an 'ego' trip
it was later I found out from another friend that he was conned by a chinaman in that incident
