THIS COMPANY CLAIMS TO BE LEGITIMATE, BUT IS NOT! THEY TOOK MY MONEY... NO PRODUCT and NO REFUND!
This company is run my a number of Nigerian men with cell phones!! These scammers will do anything and everything to get you to send them more and more money!
I originally wanted to order only 1 phone as a sample (Apple iPhone).
This person who goes by the name 'Kate', told me that it would be fine and to Western Union the money. So I did (like a fool). She then came back and told me that the custom fees would be so high, that I would need to order a minimum of 5. Reluctant, I did and then she came back after I had paid and told me that someone had come into the store and bought up all the phones, and that I would have to get them from there other store in Nigeria. Well, I didn't like the sound of that, but I felt like I was already in deep with the money I had sent.
So I reluctantly had to order 5 more, because they stated that I would have to order a minimum of 10 from there Nigeria store. That was the minimum they would except. I did so and they came back and told me it would cost $425 for custom fees. I paid like an idiot and then they came back again and told me that it would be an additional $750 more for custom fees. Thinking it was all over, they then came back to me and asked me to pay an additional $350 for Fed Ex fees.
After sending that, they told me that they never received it and wanted me to send another $350. That was the last straw! I refused and asked for a refund. In my gut I knew I wasn't going to see my money again, but they kept in touch through email regulary. Here's the real kicker!! Kate sent me an email telling me that a client of their's owes them money and wants to send a check, so she tells me that she told him to go ahead and send it to me and I will send the difference back to them. Sound familiar??!
I wasn't stupid, so I went ahead and accepted the check, and when I received it... it was a Cashiers check. There was no return address, but it did have stamps, showing it came from Nigeria. I new it wouldn't clear my bank. I went ahead and deposited and waited. It cleared on the 4th day and on the 5th day my bank called and told me it was counterfeit!
I gave them over $4400 and still haven't seen a dime of it back. My order was placed with them at the beginning of December.
This is the business they do! They are NOT a legimate business and will take you for everything you have! DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!!!
