I sold my N9 16GB and wanted to upgrade to a N9 64GB only to be scammed on eBay.

This is a picture of how the Fake N9 looks like:



I'm working with AMEX to get my money back now.

Buyer's beware.

Daaaaaaaaaamn.... Now that's scary.

I can't imagine how I'd feel starting my recently purchased phone and being greeted with that apps screen.

May I ask how much did you pay for this and from where was shipped?

Sorry for this. The OS must suck. I hope you did not pay premium and will see your money back.

But, ...How's the screen, does it have a regular TFT that eventually fits in a real N9?
Will you have return this device or could you take pics of the inside?

The screen is about 3" TFT and surprising the built quality is quite good despite its a fake. The OS is a piece of crap.

I paid about $700 bidding for it on eBay, which is a fair price.

I'm putting this up to as warning to people that are buying on eBay.

Not sure if I will need to return the phone or not. Let see what they do during the dispute process. I haven't been scammed for a while since buying a fake N95 about 5 years ago.

The seller on eBay also have good feedbacks which caught me off guard.

Holy poop. That is shifty mate. I was joking with my brother about getting fake Beats, and then he started joking about where I got my n9. I was no way, who would make a fake n9? The same people who make fake beats, the Chinese.

Why would they use shots of their own when they could perfectly use press shots that are neater and more professional looking? Just like every seller does (regardless of authenticity of product).
