The reason some people get a phone without any insurance papers is because they remove them and re shrinkwrap the box. Inside information straight from paypal the 2 users that had a long track record of positives were under investigation by the attorney general and the fbi. They were fileing insurance claims having the phones sent to them directly and re packaging the phones. Both of them had storefronts in their local area and had access to sprint and vzw customer databases. Some of the other sellers who had bad feedback and were doing refunds because the 2 major ones were getting shut down which means the others couldnt get phones.

You will see this in the news soon. Not sure what the outcome will be but I suspect a couple of theese people did not know they were buying from crooks so as long as the cooperate they might be off the hook. I mean at least they did refund people so that does show some type of honesty in their defense.

I mean ive been thinking about starting up a cricket store in my area. Know a few people who have and theese phones sell like freaking hotcakes. I did the website for a franchise and he was making so much money and that was just off markups. Immagine theese guys getting theese things for FREE at $250 a pop and you know they have sold thousands of them in the past 4 or 5 months. That is tempting for any shady person, easy money.

My favorite ebay scam was the guy selling plasma tv's when they first came out. He would list a 60" plasma for 5k and at the time that was less then half the price. In a month he made over 3 mil. when he got shut down and went to court here is what happened. His listing read check out the picture of this 60 inch plasma bla bla. And what he sent people for there 5k was just that a 35mm photograph of a 60" plasma. And the sad thing is the case was dropped. LMFAO
