Is this another phone scam?

On my local Facebook BSS page thEre is a post for buying new phones. They have a large range on offer but you have to email them only to purchase.

The name is Raphel Chubers and the Facebook page has just been started, no info given, lots of friends, and has only posted to sell pages everywhere.

I have taken a screenshot as I couldn't copy and paste from my IPad. How can I add that?

    Is it really worth the savings dealing with an unknown. If these savings are great, then its a greater chance of being a scam.

    I wouldn't buy a pen from that person….let alone a phone or ipad.

  • Another scam site here:-

    http://www.mysmartphones.com.au

    • How did you figure out that the site is a scam?
      (and they accept Paypal too)

        The domain registration shows:-
        Registrant: mysmartphone.com.au
        Registrant ID: ABN 89114151370
        Eligibility Type: Sole Trader

        I have confirmed that the ABN used (89114151370) belongs to:-
        Entity name: MY SMART PHONE WORDS PTY LTD
        ABN status: Active from 10 May 2005
        Entity type: Australian Private Company
        Goods & Services Tax (GST): Registered from 10 May 2005
        Main business location: NSW 2170

        The real owner of ABN 89114151370 is -

        My Smart Phone Words
        Po Box 228
        1871 Liverpool Retail
        New South Wales
        Phone: 1300 773 554

        I have contacted the real owner of the ABN, and they have confirmed that their ABN was used to register mysmartphone.com.au without their knowledge and/or permission.
