Similarity of 3gs open door for scammers?

I just thought of this. If devs found a way to allow voice control/video (which is already possible) and tweak the compass app (which I assume could be emulated somehow) scammers could fool the hell out of the average non-tech savy person looking for a good deal. They could sell an old 16 GB 3g and get away with it due to identical casing. Thoughts?

Don't think so.

The iPhone 3GS has the iPhone and other writing at the bottom in a shiny mirror finish like the apple sign.

This is the easiest way to tell a difference.

Voice Control won't work properly on a non 3g phone I believe because of the amount of available ram.

I'm talking about someone who's not tech savy. Take for example a kid who got $150 bucks for his bday and desperately wanted an iPhone.

They can still get scammed by someone selling a chinese knockoff. The 3GS won't make a difference.

Where can I get these $150 iPhones of which you speak?

If you dont know what you are buying, you can always get scammed. As a consumer you have to do your home work.
