I am really getting tempted to try this site...
Any one used this before and your opinion please? They are not accepting PayPal and credit cards i guess!
MOD EDIT: Link Removed as scame.
HUGE SCAM. If it is too good to be true, then IT IS. They only accept money gram and western union which is the easiest way to get scammed because there is no way to track your payment and there is no way to get your money back. These prices are way tooooo low. Anyone with cash in hand would buy out there whole inventory and just flip it. Stay away beware

Their specs & photos are copied & pasted from gsmarena lol.
There are lots of sites like this out there. They don't accept Paypal and credit cards because you can dispute those payments. There's no way to get your money back through services such as Western Union. Stay far far away from sites like these.

I just bought three Jet Skis and five Nexus Primes, only 16k shipped!
As soon as you see 'Board of Directors decided not to use PayPal', and instead use a personal WU and MG account, surely that's alarm bells?
If not, stop thieving my Oxygen lol.
Thanks for the laugh.
I wonder how much Yen Gailan Cheng rakes in with this little operation.
I would like to try and get a Jet Ski fedex'd / ups'd to me.
What really bothers me though is someone had to ask if this was legit lol

Hi i want to buy the nexus one off this site http://www.cellplususa.com/ but idk if its creditable site or its a scam. I can't find any info from it and I found the site on craiglist. Have you had experience with this site and do you think I should buy? The phone there is only 450.
couldn't find anything on it at resellersratings.com so not so sure it's a legit site.
Here is my suggestion on this:
Ok, research shows that they have not been in business for long at all (like under a week or so).
For this reason, you won't find any information on them.
Are they reputable? Hard to say, but things that would keep ME from buying from them is that their website has absolutely NO contact information at all.
They also don't tell you if the phone is NEW, Refurbished or used. How they are selling them for so much less is beyond me because, as far as I know, Google is not wholesaling them to ANYONE. The only legit way to get it new is through Google's shop.
Just my $0.02...
Ebay is the way...
Hey Sasha
Buy it from Ebay and to make sure its a good deal - go with sellers using PayPal as the payment method.. And if you are lucky - You can actually make a good deal thru ebay...
Good luck... Its a cool phone - Nexus One kicks ass.. ;-)

Yeah i know its a awesome phone but ebay prices are more expensive than google!
lol "on sale" yeah ok.
DO NOT buy from there.
What does common sense tell you?
Tells me this site is 100% scam. I love the $10 COD option, though, with a same day delivery guarantee. Someone should test it out!
Sure... But..
The chance to find the phone to the same price as on the google-site will probaly not be easy.. Everyone wants to make money - so you can look everywere - You probaly won't find it anywhere to the same price..
You can make good deals on Ebay trust me..
But good luck with your search

Unless they're using the "loophole" someone else posted about to get the phone for $372 then reselling it for $450.

Not enough of a profit margin to make it work TBH, and also, a pain in the but way to get their supply since they will have to get a LOT of people to open and account to get the phone just to cancel.
Either way, I say stay away.

Agreed. $79 is a relatively small price to pay for piece of mind.
If you guys missed this...
There were people in Hong Kong, one of the four countries (wait...Hong Kong is...whatever) got the head start, complaining that when they received their DHL package it was empty inside. So would there be any chance that some people took those phones and sell them damn cheap...?

Not sure about that, but like I said in my original reply, there is NO contact information on the site whatsoever, who would you call if there was an issue?
Also, if those people that had their go missing reported it, Google could Black-List the ESN's and they would be worthless.
SO not worth the risk...
I bought 2 phones from them
Back in Dec. I bought 2 iphones from cellplususa. I didnt have any issues, in fact im using the phone right now.

Lol. I remember back in 04 a recruiter came to my high school and was trinh to sign people up and baiting them with a free army of one video game.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
That army of one video game was the ****! Well, as far as learning how to shoot and maintain your rifle goes. LOL...I used to fail at shooting just so I could sit in a nice warm room playing video games while everyone else was freezing and laying in the mud.
When I joined...they offered me a backpack and a track suit. Both of which I never received.
Through in a free case for that iPhone and you got a deal! Ya know ill need reception to call for back up. I can't wait to have those touching moments with the front cam like they do in the commercials.
So yeah, they will give you a free phone, but they are going to charge you for all your clothes and gear. That stuff is way more expensive than a phone. Back in the day, the gear was all free.
When I was at Fort Lost in the Woods I didn't get jack crap. I had a good time granted the learning of US weapons and explosives, and night training, and MRE's, and well physical fitness. But not a damn phone cheap bastards. I guess before the Bush admin we got a half-million dollar life insurance policy upgrade. So I always have that....

Anyways, giving your life away saving someone elses country will never be worth an iphone, evo, or a million dollars in my opinion. Too much worrying about what goes on in the world and not enough fixing our own country talked me out of a 50 thousand dollar sign on bonus for a 6 year enlistment. It just isnt worth dying over religious belief conflicts.
So I was considering selling my Note and purchasing the new Google tablet for my wife and saving any left over money towards the Note 2. I was in no hurry to sell and was more or less just testing the waters. Anyway, I posted it on Craigslist because I wanted to sell it locally and wanted to deal with someone in person to avoid any hassle or scams.
I receive a text this morning from someone wanting to purchase my phone. The beauty of it is they offer me $100 more than I am asking and want me to ship the phone to their pastor who is doing missionary work in Nigeria. Really?
I looked up the phone number they texted me from and it is a North Carolina area code, so I am not sure what is going on here. Why not ship it yourself, etc.....
I think I am going to have a little fun with this person.
I will take suggestions on possible questions to ask this person or ideas to have fun with them
Yeah that happens to me ALL the time and it's always the SAME story. Makes me very hesitant to post on craigslist. These guys are so easy to spot that it's irritating. Anyway, good luck trying to sell your Note!
You're selling, right? Why do you care if he is a scammer or not? Just ship the phone wherever he wants once you receive the money.
is it this guy ???

It reminds me of all the emails I get from the Nigeria or Kenya guys about how they inherited ten million dollars and I will get 2 million if I help them by putting it in my account in the US because of this and that. I get one of those every so often in my gmail and it is quite funny because they are so serious. Sometimes I will reply and they will actually reply and the funny part is I saw on the news that some people actually fall for this **** and lose their life savings. I can not believe people actually do this. To think someone would actually email someone their bank account info or send them a check or something is insane

Only someone stupid will ship a product before receiving the payment.
I always get the ones that have bunch crap to trade, I swear the stuff must have come from their neighbor's trash on moving day. When I was selling a MacBook Air, some guy claimed to be pastor and wanted make payments. I said "Sure, one payment of $799 and a second payment of $1."
I had one like that except they offer 200 dollars more and made a fake paypal unique transaction id in a email. Ship first in order to recieve your money yeah right lol

They don't use their own computer, (mostly because they don't have it, and not safe)
They use internet cafe
They are offering Galaxy S7 Edge for 600.00€ (£439.85) and with a Gear VR http://itcomputes.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-32gb-black
They accept paypal only for orders above 3000€, for single mobile they accept credit card or money gram. http://itcomputes.com/payment-methods
Any experience with this online shop?
Thanks a lot in advance
Looks shady to me!
Searched around, could only find one review of the site on Trustpilot which looked like it was written by the owner of the site. No other information anywhere, except an address in Canada on Google Maps (which is probably unrelated).
Indeed, so unless somebody has a good experience so I'm staying away. The price is too good to be true and without paypal guarantee it is risky. Thanks for the reply.

They DMd me here because I'd been looking to review the zero lemon case. Odd way to do it, but they wanted to PayPal me the money for the case, and then have me buy it on Amazon. I don't have PayPal (and it seems like a weird way to do it), so it looks like they are going to send me a Walmart GC instead. Again it seems like an odd way to do it, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.

They paid my order with PayPal. I agree, it seemed super odd to me, but it seems a lot of groups are having to do it this way, due to some new rules from Amazon about using promo codes for review products like other have in the past. At least they paid up front, choetech wanted to pay AFTER the review was submitted, which seemed a bad idea.

Good to know. I am doing a review of the CHOETECH panda charger, and they will pay after as you said. I don't have PayPal so they are going to send me a GC. I'm not too worried about it because they make good products, I've bought numerous CHOETECH products.
I know Amazon cracked down a while ago about companies discounting for reviews, but didn't realize they were cracking down on promo codes as well. In fact, I reviewed a cheotech charger that I got using one of their discount codes.
I guess in the end, if I don't like it and they don't send a gc, I could always just return it to Amazon. I was just worried that if I did have PayPal, they might do a charge back.
Edit: I guess I was just surprised since Zero Lemon was just sending out the products directly. At the same time, if the Amazon review isn't a "verified purchase", it might look shady.

Amazon is trying to cut down on paid reviews / free product reviews, so this is the way many manufacturers are getting around it. Amazon can see if reviews are coming from people who got the product free using a promo code. They can't see if you got reimbursed through Paypal after the fact.

Which is why it's a shame that the Amazon vine program isn't available to more people. I get some. Companies were abusing the samples for reviews, but honest companies want reviews for people to buy stuff. The whole reason I took a chance on CHOETECH products was the great reviews.
