Ok I have a n96 in box with all accessories, it is brand new and even still has the screen protector on it.
The box is a bit bashed but nothing too bad and the charger requires an adaptor for this reason, and I need the cash folr a holiday asap, a BIN of £250 inc shipping will take it.
It comes with
charger
headphones
cable
2 x batteries

It is unlocked, no network branding and i have traded on here before. I have +ve feedback and plenty of ebay feedback under the same user name.
As for trades, something high end make an offer and I might say yes.

i bet he knew it was a fake and was hoping some sucker would fall for it. i was wondering why he ignored my pc
does he deserve neg feedback?
Posted by PeterKay
ummmmm
Posted by iainkane
excuse I have not gone, I have been trying to get hold of the guy I traded with and trying to do find out how to trace the ip address from the emails and see what I can find.
I had no idea it was a fake and I can only apologise.
Posted by tsj
have u tried turning it on?!
Posted by iainkane
yeah, why what should i be looking for.
I'll accept pelters later but can anyone help me find the ip address from a hotmail account?
Posted by Nanu
I don't think any one would intentionally post that pic in order to try and scam someone!
Posted by tsj
if you get his ip address... what exactly are you going to do with it?
Posted by iainkane
well you can get an address from an ip address?
I've also got his mobile.

Posted by tsj
can you? how do you do that then? can you tell me? i want to know how?
its obvious u knew this was fake. i asked about collection but you didnt reply to that question.
Posted by tsj
ip address would have been useful if he was a terrorist... but hes not... so no one will help you.
mobile numbers are not very useful unless hes registered it
Posted by iainkane
sorry I misunderstood your pm, I thought you were talking about it was my first post.
I dont know how to show I wasn't wanting to scam anyone, I mean I posted a rather large pic of the phone if I had know it was fake I wouldnt have accepted it 3 hours ago and I certainly wouldnt have advertised it on esato where it would be known instantly.
Can anyone suggest anything to help me out?
As someone asked it didnt come from this site it came from gumtree so no issue there.
Well there is always the option of calling him from another number as he is advertising on gumtree, he is bound to have more.

I am raging

Iain,
Have you not got his address if he had your N95 plus money to him? Not Hangman resurfaced is it?
Doug
Posted by tsj
the picture shows a real n96 if im right
Posted by iainkane
Yeah the picture is a real n96 but i hadnt seen this before we met. We met face to face and excanged them, I cant believe i never spotted it was fake.
He stays in Stevenston I think near kilmarnock as one of his ads said that and he wanted to meet there.
Posted by skblakee
Is the phone still available? 45 Here if it is.
Posted by dougproctor
I'm sure this guy is more interested in getting his N95 and £60 back than selling the imitation. That might come later.....

He still owes me money from May

Does the imitation work, and how well did they copy it?
I'm always amazed at how fast and sometiems very accurate the Chinese can copy stuff, like the iPhone clones.
Good luck getting your N95 and money back mate.
Posted by Marly
These imitations usually work ok for calls and texts, but they miss the more advanced options of the original, so they're being sold way too expensive, as they're not "the real thing".
Btw, it's possible to find the senders' I.P. address in Hotmail, but you need to have a Hotmail account yourself :

edit: the scammer's now also selling a N95:
http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/91/30423991.html
Googling his phone number, I've found another ad, dated 21.10., this time on Edinburgh Gumtree (Irvine), where he writes "made in korea", but again with the picture of the real Nokia N96:

hi,
one thing to note there is
a) chinese fakes which are imitations: these will not have GPS, 5 megapixel camera (check the camera pic settings), no wifi, and will not accept standard nokia codes like *#0000#
b) there is the asian nokia stock which is original but made in china but uses slightly inferior parts to european stock.
you need to determine which it is.
I will warn you though that gumtree is full of people selling fake stuff. I used to buy off gumtree before and used to sell my items on gumtree before.
You can get some unsavoury charachters buying stuff from you and at the same time many people use it for scamming as once they have your cash they can disappear withour repurcussions as you don't know where they live and normally the no they are using is a pay as you go no which will go dead soon after the deal. a friend of mine bought some phones on gumtree and after collecting them three days later they all got barred and the no he was calling was dead.
ebay allows some protection via paypal and also ebay has contact details of sellers and esato is a feedback based system so has some security but gumtree is a different ball game. However I have to balance my statement and say on the whole 99% of my dealings on gumtree have been very pleasant.
regards Yasman

Surprisingly he is proving rather difficult to get hold of, I am considering calling from another mobile and arranging a meeting to buy another one and getting whatever I can back from him. His response when I text him was try and sell it on gumtree. I bet the n95 he is selling is my bloody one.
Gutted!!!
PS Thanks Marly for the IP Address stuff I got it sorted, I know his IP if anyone here is capable of messing with him and finding some useful info on his pc, drop me an im.

The ad with the N95 is gone now, might be sold already, or he's been reading the topic here.
Found another victim : http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/80/30277380.html
Maybe you should contact him and compare the info you have on the scammer.
