Welcome to ScamWarners najvhen, I hope you have NOT sent money to this person. They are a scammer. The phone number they gave you is a redirect number that makes it look like they are in the UK, but they can be anyplace in the world.

Most of the time they are in West Africa and they spend their time pretending to have items to sell.

You can buy a real legitimate phone for near those prices. You will be buying no actual product in dealing with this person. Your money will be gone and you will have no phone.

You are best to look for a retailer who you can deal with in person and return the phone if you have problems, or buy accessories you might need.

Do NOT send money to this person!!

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

hI najvhen. I became concerned when I read the 4470 phone number. My immediate thought was, Oh No!
A better explanation of these re-direct numbers can be seen here, viewtopic.php?f=26&t=13567
May I suggest you purchase from a reputable store at your local shopping centre or local phone shop.
I realize we all like a bargain, but buying online is like walking through a minefield.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for scammers to use the names of real people in their scams. They don't use their own names, of course, because they don't want to get caught, and using a real person's name can make them seem more believable. We try to make it clear that the names here are not the real names of the scammers, but instead are the names they are using to scam.

Thank-you for sharing the story cbleopard.
I am sad to hear you have been fleeced by the untrustworthy fraudulent individual. I will not call it a man because it gives us a bad name! The two phone numbers are clearly linked to electronics and phone scams.
The name of the seller would be a fake name.
Yahoo says, Current Status: OFFLINE. Yahoo ID: phonesolutionlink
We can't find other information for this Yahoo ID.
re: now im on claim cause never received nothing and was threated to death.
Don't concern yourself with the threat. Although that behaviour does unsettle some people. The scammer will not confront you because if it did, it's real identity will become known.
