Someone is selling a p800 to me over the net at US$200. He claim that he is from Italy and he will send me the phone by UPS and he will email me the tracking no. for the UPS. After which I would pay through WestUnion. Do you think I should trust him?

I saw his posting from www.hardwarezone.com.sg

Please give some advice

Don't trust him. Anyone can create a billing manifest and send you a tracking number.

@jess...................come on.................think.................if SE`s selling it for $750 what are the chances of this person getting it from SE & adding a small profit & then selling on for $200. keep your money untill you can buy a REAL one that you can actually see before you give any money.
These theives are praying on your desperation, & your not thinking straight.

The combination of 'some guy', Western Union and an incredbly low price does set off all the alarm bells. Personally I wouldn't.

OK good, i predict that things will go well for you & you will get your phone, but not from that place. also it will be worth the wait.

Thanks guys I will try to be more alert.

Actually was tempted by the price. It will be release at my place in a week time but the price is like 1k. US $1 = S $1.8

Phone over at Singapore is rather cheap so its really x.
