100% scam.



The website is not "under construction" it is non existent or shut down for fraud.



Any company or person who says their electronics are "buy one/two get some free" is a scammer. Always.



Any phone number that starts with +44-70 or anything similar is not based in the United Kingdom. It is from a UK based cell phone redirect service that can be answered by anyone anywhere in the world. It is a favorite service of scammers who want to pretend to be in the United Kingdom but are really half way around the world from there.



Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.



Only scammers accept payment by Western Union or moneygram. No. Exceptions. Ever.



Just delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.



Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of cheap phones, lost money, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell you email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.



Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.



If you google "iphone scam", "cell phone fraud Western Union" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts of victims of this type of scam.
A friend of mine purchased a blackberry via internet and he paid 280 dollar including the shipping charge on 1st march 2011 and it seems there was a problem in immigration and he couldn't get his phone. So, he mailed the company Electronic Specifier Limited

which addressed at Jalan Kampung Nyabor P.O. Box 1711, Selangor, Malaysia under Mr. Collins Usman and I just called him at +60146658993 and an African man answered. He asked me to call back because of the bad signal and I did called back and he answered again.

Report Abuse

I told him about the problem and he was a bit shocked and he asked me to call back in 30 minutes but I suspected something is wrong so tried to find this address and it was confirmed a scam .I'm planning to not to call this guy again because so sure that either the phone is off or he wont answer.

I'll try to report it to the police station. Hope some action can be taken even though it might be useless. Wow I'm so shocked to know that too many companies and fraud names been used using the same address and phone number!!!

Says SCAM all over the place.
SCAM

First of all, Apple is VERY strict in their distribution and does not allow any of their vendors to sell iphones in bulk or to discount them more than 15% so you know these are counterfeit iphones to begin with

Second, NO legitimate company will EVER accept Western Union. Real businesses accept credit cards

Third as Buffy points about above, any number starting with +4470 is always a SCAM

Fourth, what legitimate business selling online does not have an actual website



DO NOT follow through with this. There is NO website that is selling real iphones in bulk. None
