the story:

so the story is, my cousin gave me money to find a factory unlocked iphone 4 and i searched online and found one at this site http://www.electronicwholesaledistribution.com/ for $699 factory unlocked. so i went ahead and bought it and i got an air phone so i called them up and they said that they other customers complained that the same thing happen to them and the supplier who is Chinese dont want to give back the money, so the best they can do is offer me $50 any order on their site for life which is bull. how am i gonna explain their lame excuse to my cousin? for those who know the law well what legal action should i take?

I cant stop laughing
 
if you can't figure out which online retailer is legit and which isn't you deserve to get ripped off :p
 
Wow...sorry but that is the funniest **** I've read and seen all day! Thanks for that. Although it certainly false advertisement since their ad state iPhone 4. Sorry dude but looks like you got screwed...

edit: Can you run the OS and post pics of that too? For curiosity sake...
 
You should have known they weren't legit because they are tying to sell a 3 year old Bluetooth headset for $180 dollars that isn't even manufactured anymore. YDI
 
This is just such a cruel joke...I can't even believe there are factories out their dedicated to making phony iPhones! It's like something I would joke about and never expect to be real.
 
This should have been your first warning to not trust this website.

Did you check out the middle pic when you go to the 32gb link???? The specs are listed as: glass and titanium constructin, 1.2ghz, OLED screen, 64gb, and running OS 2.7... The 1.2ghz processor and 64gb would be nice but the description is a dead giveaway and remember this is supposedly for a 32gb unlocked iphone 4 but specs list it as 64!
 
This actually happened to a co-worker of mine, but he's technologically challenged so he thinks he has a real iPhone and no one has the heart to tell him any different.

It's sad, but it's funny whenever he pulls out the phone and tells everyone how much he loves his "iPhone." And it doesn't even look as good as this knock off.
 
I looked on the site and couldn't really find a definite answer, are they a USA based company?? If so, wouldn't this be highly illegal??

Lmao...can we get pics of said co worker using this phone?
