Yesterday morning upon entering my vehicle from Grand Mart in Al Thumama, an asian guy probably a Nepali national approach me if im interested to buy his iphone 7 for a very reasonable price. After declining the offer several times, we came to a price point that was hard to ignore, 800 qatari riyals. At first i was speculative about the unit and so i ramdomly checked  the overall condition of the phone both the hardware and softwares respectively. He even let me browsed some apps and the phone's IMEI for more shift inspection. Thus in the end , he had just persuaded me to purchase his phone and i swiftly drop in to the nearest ATM machine to grab that 800 QAR! By the time i got home and reset the unit to factory setting, i was stunned to see an Android icon on the screen! I begun doubting its authenticity but still went on for other tell tale signs if it was a fake unit. I called up this Nepali guy but he never replied back nor answer my calls. From that point on, i felt more convinced that it was likely a clone unit and i subsequently made more detailed inspection of its validity via Apple ID, Siri, and other exclusive apps from Apple. So today, i am planning to file a complain to the nearest police station and have this guy put behind bars. May this be an added awareness to those who may be reading this page.

Accha, If we can correct one soul by just forgiving then there isn't any need of punishing anybody in this world. We need to take the first step, it is possible. Our conscious will turn us to the right path. We need to try it to believe it, yes.

Molten: Just wait till someone cheats you out of QR 800. I really wish it would be more. You have not gone through that pain yet.

Sitting under the air conditioner in a room and posting such views just reflects your thinking.

The simple rule is: Never buy any second-hand electronic item from strangers. There have been so many cases of such reported by people in the past at QL Charge this incident to experience.

You should report the matter to the police to stop this person from going on with his "business."
