Most Typical Tactics used by Scammers

Almost every week, I would have one or two reports by new adders from skype or msn that he or she was scammed by someone. What is frustrating is that in most occasions the story is similar:

The seller says he or she has something like original Nokia N95, Apple Iphone at an unbelievable price. Due to this, a lot of buyers are lured into the trap. The buyers often think they get something very good but very cheap and feel good. But actually the seller would not ship or just ship something like a cloned one after the buyer makes the payment. After this happened, the buyers often could not have any remedy because the scam happened internationally.

(Remember if someone wants to buy "clone" for big brands, it is just a clone for the outside looking not the inside stuff like software and mainboard.)

To make you have an idea of price difference between clone products and the originals, let me show you an example---a copy N95 can be made at USD100, but the original costs here in China around USD700.
The scammers are 100% to be blamed but as I always said buyers’ greedy plays a role in this tragedy also.

My advice here is that “BE LOGICAL”. If someone sells original Nokia N95 at USD180, IT IS NOT LOGICAL and you have to be alert!

Here I share some links and it would be clearer from our dear customers:
