Latest IPhone and Samsung possible scams on well known website

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Latest IPhone and Samsung possible scams on well known website

Post by Jimmy Crow »

Ok so there seems to be a scam on a khmer buy and sell website where you can purchase a brand new iPhone X for $500-600 and all the other latest models of Samsung phones for really cheap prices,here is the catch ,you pay 50% up front via money gram or western union to a recipient in guess where? Nigeria!

Note:all the phones are shipped from USA and Nigeria (lower case same as in ad on website)
Check it out and if you see any ads which say “bestdealer” I think you should be careful ,something smells fishy,I decided to contact the number in the ad and ask some questions and after asking can you video call me and are you Nigerian lol? I got blocked so hey I’m not saying this is a scam I’m just not sold on this.

Everyone is equal. Everyone has a place. No one is written off, because there is worth and goodness in every life... That is the Republican ideal. And if we won't defend it, who will?

When it seems to good to be true it usually is! :hattip:

Links help.
Like this one? https://www.khmer24.com/en/mobiles/appl ... 86568.html And these? https://www.khmer24.com/cc0

Just Google the whatsapp # +19197271672
Easy peasy.

Their Mobitel phone number looks legit. 012 123456. Probably the most expensive phone number ever.
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.
