NEED HELP ASAP plz...bought $2000 worth of phones off of ebay

[rob187jj]

hey

i bought 4 nokia n95's. i paid, they were mailed and should be here tomorrow, i was curious because i saw a link the person i bought from had posted and i found an msn address, i added it thinking it was a legit supplier of nokia's. anyways, i talked to them for a bit and they told me they only supply knockoffs of popular phones such as the n95, so can i do a chargeback on my credit card or should i wait til i get the phones, inspect them and then do a chargeback? how do i go about this? also in the auction, it shows the boxes of real nokia n95 boxes

let me know
thanks
Rob

Just wait, check it out, open a dispute. Chargeback should be your last option.

Wow do you see it say knock offs cause then you are screwed but if he posted real then go dispute it for fakes.

[G-Yo]

Wow, you bought $ 2000 worth of Phones and you didnt check to make sure they were the real thing ?

I hope you get your money back.

NOKLA.... lol!

[fiscal-rick]

why did you buy 4?

planning on re-selling?

[myversa]

better read the brand name carefully next time...

I think it will not be easy for you to get your money back since it clearly stated NOKLA phone not a nokia phone....

[dailey]

I doubt you'll get anything back.
rough.

I hope it wasn't for a Group Buy
(The OP was getting scammed when he tried setting up a window tint group buy)

You talked to them over msn and they were honest so did you try asking them about return?

If you want to do a chargeback, it really depends on the ad. If the ad say its real and its fake, then you can chargeback and return the phone to the sender (you are stuck with shipping unless you sue them for it). If the ad does not say its real, you are stuck with the phone. Doing a chargeback can get you sued and you will have nothing to back yourself up. Not only will you need to pay them the $2000, you will also need to pay interest for the amount and any legit expense for them to get their money back. Legit expense can be a lot of stuff but it does not include salary lost due to coming to court. It could however include airplane tickets.

i asked him if they are nokla's or nokia's before i purchased and he said they arent nokla's. but when i opened the nokia box, the phones were clearly fake and said nokla on them, so i have a pretty strong case.

Why on earth would anyone spend $2,000 on ebay...for PHONES???

It's like buying any high fashion stuff on Ebay - you might as well just send them money and bend over.

there are both genuine phones and high fashion items on ebay, granted you have to do your due diligence
and investigate first (feedback, read auction terms over clearly)

Aside from them trying to scam people into thinking they're real Nokia's or whatever I actually like Chinese cellphones a lot.

To bad they don't they don't include the N. America bands...

Didn't the same thing happen in an episode of the Simpsons? They thought they were drinking MILK when in fact they were drinking MALK.

Oy vey...2Gs on phones...
