BEWARE! BEWARE!! BEWARE!!!

This is to bring to your awareness that most expensive smart phones such as;

• Blackberry 10 smart phone devices (Z10, Q5, Q10, Z30)
• Iphone devices (5C, 5S Gold)
• Samsung smart phones (S3, S4, S5)

Have been FAKED all over by China running android OS only….Most of these phones are now on WWW. and WWW.TRADESTABLE.COM.MG

So beware when you buy used or new smart phone from those sites.

NOTE: To test whether you smart phones are real, just this

1. For blackberry devices, install blackberry 10 desktop manager unto your computer system and plug whatever blackberry 10 devices you are buying to it. If the desktop manager detects the phone then it is real (original) otherwise means it is fake.

2. For iphones, make use of itunes desktop software; if it does not detect the phone you are buying then it is totally fake.

Noted. Thanks for sharing.

Notice how BBZ10 was everywhere on olx and I sensed foulplay.
Nice one op...

tanx op

you are all welcome

nice work Op buh I'm actually using a clone iphone 5s (its android).it has a nice design even if its android & stuff.all u need to do is check the itunes & it'll take u to Google store,safari also is called browser.

I use Z10 but recently I have been looking for the London used one on olx so I can buy for my friend. I was amazed at the price I see them and iPhone 5s too so I wondered same too.

My question however is, since the fake ones run android, shouldn't it be easy to detect without computer? I mean won't they have android interface instead of BB10 or iOS?

If the fake runs on Android then that is fairly easy to spot without a PC...just enter Settings and check the info on "About Phone"...Simples.

Thanks for the tip off anyway

just yday i fell victim of this wish i had seen dis post earlier.. Still am quite ok wit d phone, it runs on android 4.3, nice setup n sorts. D surprise here s that, it has 16g internal storage, 2g ram, all other features of bb z10 bt wit a diff Os. This made me to do some research online found out that bb z10 can b made to run android jelly bean runtime, my hope now s to try n load a leaked os on it, mayb will work + it has a bb pin diff from that of d bbm on it, confirmed d battery, its original. Loading a new OS 10 can bring life to it; just hoping.

If you do that you might end up just destroying or bricking your phone for nothing

such a pity, its no where close to bb, checked d imei number online, its a bb replika, no 16g m. They tried thou, exact replika, got me fooled. Still thankful thou, its a loss (bought it at almost d price of a uk used) bt not total loss (android 4.3 wit z10 build,working good)

but why does it have to be this way now... why can't china produce a phone and just put their name on it instead of all this replica here and there, you go come carry ur own money enter market con dey fear make you no fall victim of replica... na wa oh

Cheers man Cheeeeeeeers.......such is life, we live to learn not to fall again in different ways........This world is fading away very fast!

chukzyblingz: please, how can I know if my Iphone is origianal

the most legitimate way is to plug it to a pc n access iTunes

Pls guys,my bbz10 PIN at d back of d phone is different from d PIN I found on my BBM. Pls what does that means? Also, d 7th n 8th digit IMEI number do not have dot b4 n after them. Pls I need to know if it is fake so dat I return it because is still on warranty.
