FAKE Samsung Note 4 on Craigslist
 

Warning: there are many ads of selling a Samsung Note 4. He is still trying to sell them. This individual was tall, about 6ft, 150lbs, middle-eastern male who tried to sell me a fake one for $640. Nickname was "Jackson" and I met him in A&W in WaterFront Station at 7:30pm. He wanted to sell it fast.

Link I contacted:

when buying high profile phones, cant people just meet up in those samsung or apple stores to compare the ones on the counter??? i am sure if they decline you can easily spot a fake....

Don't even bother buying used phones from Craigslist anymore. Not worth it. Either buy new or buy a cheaper phone like the one plus.

Or buy from RS......

disagree, for every 10 good people out there (or more) there is 1 person who does this.

Agreed. If I'm buying an older used phone, I usually look it over thoroughly still to ensure it is real and operates up to speed. Easiest way is to check specs. Most knock-offs are slower or have less memory.

For BNIB or very new phones, I ask to meet at the manufacturer's store in order to check. I did this with anything over $300. It also boils down to how patient and legitimate they sound, based on their responses.

when I bought my note2 used, I checked the following

1. Official Receipt to match the IMEI
2. check IMEI online International Numbering Plans, © 2001-2014
3. Antutu
4. For Samsung, I will access the hidden menu *#0*#

maybe.. i've bought and sold phones on craiglslist for years. never was scammed or ripped off till i bought my s3. phone worked for a month and then was black listed. guessing the guy bought it on contract and stopped paying the bill and the carrier black listed it. now i've got a fucking paperweight sitting here i cant do anything with.

It's crazy how good counterfeiters are nowadays.

dat triple A quality AAA+

not sure where to post this but i just saw this ad on cl where some guy is selling a note 3 for $75 & im looking for phone/tab ATM, not sure if its a scam or anything like that

your right, too good to be true

I bet it's $775 (typo).

here's an even better fake note 4. After i saw this vid, i decided not to bother looking for note 4s on CL, even if it was priced at over 600

well dont let this deter you... just need to be aware. The most common difference is the rear camera flash. And also check the IMEI

actually, just to bump this up.

Best way is put the phone in download mode and see if the model number for the phone shows up. If you don't see a download mode or if you see chinese characters, then it's fake

Also, look for carrier apps (Bell/Telus/Rogers) to see if it's actually a real Canadian carrier phone

That plus the S-pen should not have a chrome tip and it should have samsung logo
