Ended up getting a pair of fake Raybans instead...

As @stragglebod said :- "you'll eventually get a no-brand Android phone with specs"

Well, you got the specs ....

I'm not sure it would be possible for a site to more clearly a scam than this. Iphone 11? If you're very lucky you'll eventually get a no-brand Android phone with specs equivalent to a 2011 iphone.

Two clicks away on google using shopping, 4.1 trust pilot, similar positive reviews elsewhere, answers immediately to email... as for your unhelpful, judgemental comment, hope it made you feel superior for a few moments  

No, I'm trying to help you avoid losing money this way again in the future. There's nothing shameful about being gullible, but this site is so clearly fraudulent then if you're falling for it then you are gullible. The important thing is that now you know that you're gullible, you can take steps to limit your risk in future, by only buying from absolutely nailed on, household name legitimate sites.

That wasn't judging, that was criticising your naivete 🙄

'criticising' posters without any sniff of being constructive, sure you're a great benefit to this forum 

My two new iPhones were ordered on Sunday and my numbers were switched today to the new provider. Old iPhone 7s are on their way to the swap shop. Bargains and cash in my back pocket. At no time did I fall fir a cheap variant of the trinket you ordered and have not got!

But that's the problem.  These scams work because, at least superficially, they appear above board.  But the slightest bit of investigation and it all unravels. The Trustpilot reviews are obviously bogus (and Trustpilot should NOT be trusted at all anyway) and all there really is is a few positive Trustpilot reviews.

I mean here's a gem from today "So far, I've ordered the Black 128gb iPhone 11. Emails have been responded to very fast, the site and phone seems genuine, I'm happy with the price but I'm giving this 4 stars since the phone is being shipped from an international warehouse (even though I live in the UK) so it won't come in time for my birthday. I would like it to come earlier but that might not be possible. I will write another review when I receive my phone."

So the guy has left a positive review for a product that he hasn't received, and also says the phone, that he hasn't received yet, "seems genuine." Okay then...

Nobody on here is doing it to feel superior, but to point you to the obvious signs so that you, and others, don't fall for it (again.)

My partner once bought a pair of Brooks trainers from their 'website'. Ended up getting a pair of fake Raybans instead...

Sweet, I imagine the Raybans were much better than the Brooks trainers

No, you offered no 'hep' in your replies, just seemingly gloating comments from a place of superiority - in your own words, you "criticised my naivety", great 'help'. If you have nothing at all constructive to offer, don't chime-in at all, you're showing your true colours.

Morning, I think you would do better to start your own thread and add a little more detail perhaps, good luck
