After having seen the prices, I need nothing else to conclude that this site is a scam. $280 for a 32GB 3G S Unlocked? Really? Absolutely not. Given how new and high in demand these phones are, no one will sell you the 3G S for that cheap. Large Distributors aren't even selling them for that low. In addition, look at their accepted payment terms:
we accept western union,money gram, bank transfer.
please contact us for payment details.


For those of you looking to buy Iphones, stay away from anyone offering you unrealistic prices on Iphones or any high demand electronics. The sweet spot for Factory Unlocked Iphone 3G S is around $700, give or take some. It all depends on who your talking to, but be rational and observe what prices are being thrown at you. $300 for a 3G is too low as well. Refuse to deal via T/T for your first PO(purchase order). This topic has been covered and I believe there are a few threads/stickies covering this topic.

Look around the forums, there a re a few trustworthy dropshippers/suppliers. I'm not sure if you're looking for a large amount of iphones, but there are a few good suppliers on TWF.

Iam not suprised people get scammed, especially if you expect to buy original iphones for $280! Basic common sense "should" tell you to stay well clear

Thumbs up Re: Shifty Supplier iPhone3gsupplier.com

I posted about this bunch a few days ago... I emailed them today and told them their game was up and checked this evening and their website was down. No doubt they will be back up in a day or so with new site name. Be very wary and keep a look out for similar new site popping up and post if any one thinks they have found them. The bloke seems to like keeping the first name Tony but changes surname when they have changed sites previously, although this could also change.
Thanks to all on site for the posts, information and advice they share, great site to help the crawlers pick up and warn people of these scum bags on searches

If you read through the Bad Supplier forum, you'll notice that many, if not all of the discussions between buyers and sellers are similar to this.
Cautious buyers are called time wasters. Buyers who want pictures and verification are 'scammers' who want to steal...
They will do anything to get your cash.
