Diamonds on eBay

[infection0]

I've already bought - should I call up Asurion and talk to eBay/Paypal? How will I be affected by this scam or is it just the bummer that Sprint is paying for my phone and the seller is getting something for nothing?

Thanks for the advice...

Yeah, that guy sold and shipped several in the beginning and then just scammed the heck out of everyone!

Hook, line, and sinker!

Yup, he's a great guy!

That fool has scammed close to $15k. That has to be enough to get the authorities interested. The victims need to contact the FBI and file complaints to get this guy prosecuted.

LOL This thread has not been closed yet?

Seriously guys just stop buying off ebay and craigs list.

I must say this thread is going to be a record holder soon for the most posts.

This thread shouldn't close. It's a relevant/current issue. People should be pointed here so they know what is going on and what actions to take. I mean just yesterday infection0 asked this exact thing...

If you got an asurion phone, file a claim with paypal now before your 45 days is up. People are already getting their refunds. Get yours to prevent getting screwed in the future (even if the phone works now).

BTW, my last 2 smartphones have been off ebay. They worked perfectly fine and were excellent deals. I even swapped the housing on the first one and it was like getting a brand new phone. Bad luck this time around but hopefully I come out on top (waiting on paypal).

I received my phone on Nov. 25 from Asurian sold by an eBay seller. I found this thread posted subsequent to my thread and I grew concerned as it seemed to appear that I had been the victum of a scam. I called Sprint fraud, who simply weren't interested.

I have not been billed by Sprint, my phone still works, and the guy I purchased the phone from - celldep0t - has now 1400+ rating and very few negatives. He still "sells" Diamonds like Angelina Jolie collects children.

At this point, I'm not going to make a claim with eBay or PayPal. If Sprint or Asurian (or whoever is getting ripped off) wants to pursue this, then fine. But the disinterest shown by Sprint demonstrates that they don't really care how these phones are leaking out. Eventually, Sprint is going to lose the ability to shut these phones off through neglect. I have yet to see anyone who stated in any of these 226 posts that Sprint has shut them down or turned the phone off. I am not going to worry about this any further.

There was an earlier thread saying that dmilton (same guy I got mine from) was a supplier to celldep0t and that is when they had issues. It definitely is the hot phone and people are going to take advantage in some cases. It helps that we keep each other informed of situations like these and are able to minimize the potential damage.
