Hello Filipino mylotters, Last night around 8pm I cross the overpass along EDSA near SM north and Trinoma and I saw a lot of teens holding Iphone and Galaxy S3. I wanted to ask those guys if it is genuine phones or those imitations that China is producing, but I was bit scared because I have a carried a lot of things last night and to think that those areas are well known for pick pockets incidents. So while walking, I was trying to take a glimpse if those phones are real and when I arrived home, I immediately search the web about it and I am 60% that it is real phones. And if it is real, maybe it is a stolen phones.
Honestly, If it is genuine, I have an intention to buy one because I cannot afford to buy brand new Galaxy S3 since it is still expensive. I was wondering how much would that one cost. hmmmm..

Chances are those phones are what you can classify as GSM (Galing Sa Magnanakaw). Have you asked how much each one cost? Yes I admit its tempting to buy, but the men selling them looks suspicious and I feel guilty that the phones they may be selling are stolen from people who worked hard just to buy them.

Yes, those are stolen phones! Why would you like to buy phones that were stolen from people who worked hard to be able to afford one? How would you feel if it happened to you? Would you feel happy about it? Remember karma dear. Kaya lumalaganap mga ganun kasi may mga bumibili. Susuportahan mo pa?

Hello, nytrsico! so you also saw those phones, huh? Well, according to my son, those who claim that they are brand new must be from China. And all second hand phones are stolen phones from either passers by or people in the mall.

Well, if the cost is half the price of a brand new one, why not? However, it is still risky, because what if after using it for quite sometime, it becomes not operational?

They could be an imitation just look at it carefully and inspect cause there are still difference from the original that you could notice.There are lots of it also in Divisoria wherein my cousin id bought yet the phone don't work properly.
