Clone Vertu Scam - Shenzhen Huawei Technology

I would like to let everyone know that Shenzhen Huawei Technology, (http://www.clone17.com) is in fact a total scam. It's owner is "John", aka 'Henseng Liu" . ([email protected]). He claims to offer great prices on clone vertu mobile phones and vertu phone spare parts; Whereas in fact as soon as he collects his payment from Western Union (in my case nearly £1000) you never hear from him again.

are you sure about that address? the whois says it does not exist. What is the complete URL?

There is no such thing as brand name items at huge discounts, period. The reason they offer the good at such insane prices is simply because there are no goods to start with, and they know they are going to steal your money.

Please post any emails, text messages, or other communications you have had with this scammer.

I think I found it here : http://www.17clone.com/product/index33.html

is this the same place you are referring to? it sure fits the bill for lots of red flags.

Yes that's the site for the Vertu mobile phone that has scammed me! Also found this 'similar' vertu clone website - which appears to be managed by a family member "Annie Liu" http://www.vertuclone.com/ ; I believe that this may be her linkedin profile: http://bit.ly/1OJ7sa7

Can you please post the emails, texts, or whatever communications you had with the website ( order confirmation, shipping documents, any type of correspondence).

the name "Annie Liu" does not appear on vertu phones, that I can see. But I'm willing to bet what you copied and pasted from LinkedIn is nothing more than SPAM from the SCAMMER himself, posing as a woman.

VertuPhones also appears to be a scam website. Among many other problems the Norton and Mcafee icons are faked on their site.

Real web sites do not need disclaimers like this

Important Notice: Please email your ORDER NUMBER, WESTERN UNION MTCN, ORDER AMOUNT, SENDER'S FIRST and LAST NAME, SENDER'S ADDRESS, STATE and COUNTRY, and SENDER'S PHONE NUMBER TO [email protected] after you make the payment for your orders.

( http://www.vertuclone.com/faq-help/paym ... ms-18.html ) . They know when they get paid and take care of it. Only scammers want the W/U transfer #, so they can pick up their stolen money.
