it's not a clone, I av an iPhone 5s gold, it's the real deal

Maybe you should start considering that your 5s just might be a clone too..

Nothing o, just the normal daily phone usage

Set on screen keys then till you can fix the problem.

I have also come to notice that in the new ads for these cloned iPhones that are coming up, the sellers are actually learning. I am even inclined to think they might have access to this thread and some others on nairaland because now, they either turn the phones to the back, open up an app such as photos and have pictures on the screen, a game or something similar. There was even a comment by sinebaba(not entirely sure it was him) where he said the phone was a clone because the lettering on the calendar app was too bold, now they remove the calendar app from the home screen as well.
The people who do this are smart, they know the phones are clones and are still trying to sell them at relatively high prices, what makes it worse is that they quite conveniently fail to mention this fact so I would like to see some of them get some justice (won't we all) but it isn't as easy as that.
If some people are up to it, we can try to play these games but I guess most people are more busy than that.

idu1:
Guy u for arrest him na.....

And how do you suppose I do that? The thing is after this experience, I have been checking the iPhones on OLX and jiji and they are mostly cloned save for the ones that put up generic images from the Internet and a very minute number of legit ones.

BuhBye:
I see what you did there.

eniolaamoda:
But honestly dazekid u bleeped up

Now back to where I said u bleeped up.
Before buying if u asked d guy if it clone or not and he tells u it not clone,and u guys meet up and it a clone he is still willing to sell,if I was d one I wud mk sure I scream thief let ppl beat him,I wud cease his real fone,his wallet everytin,cus he was trying to dupe u so why spare him,d@ is wat I do to dem,I shout thief and ppl beat dem up and I collect their money n everytin dey hv on dem.

LOL, oga I don't know how to do those types of things o. To be honest I was more amused than anything else sef.

ewizard1:
Thats true... i would have loved it the same size as the S4.

You should know the phone is a clone though...
I thought you said you can easily spot Samsung clones

tumababa:
[size=15pt]SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size]. He said we should meet at shoprite. He said I should go to kfc. I went to chicken republic and waited 5 mins b4 calling him. Looking at d entrance of kfc. I called his nos dat I'm at kfc and he said he will see me now. I was looking at d entrance of kfc thruout and d surrounding. Nobody entered or left kfc. After like 3mins. He called me dat he is kfc. I said I'm there. He just started shouting abusing me. I think its a new trick to rob people. He must av agents there.

Beware guys!!!! I will let u know if I'm being followed. I was planning to use atm after seeing d fone but I no get shi shi for hand so no lele.

These dudes just keep on coming up with new ways to scam Nigerians. Some people will try to buy without posting on the thread and those are the people most likely to get scammed. But Tuma, you say you no get shi shi for hand, you carry car go na

So this is just to put out a "buyer beware" I just found a thread here on nairaland for an iPhone 5s @60k, the phone is a clone. If anyone comes across any such thread, please make sure to let everyone know as you all have the knowledge of what the clones look like.

SOLD

Are you serious since October

ewizard1:
Samsung really f**d up on this phone.. The bezel is too much!!!

In their mind, when they want to drop s6,they would thin out the bezels, make the phone 5.5 inch and then form "bigger screen, better performance, same phone".

dicksonxtreme:
Lol.. So na this cloned phones girls for Uniport de use de form Iphone 6 ... Because the 1 see get playstore and SIRI doesn't work at allllll.

Bro, this streets ain't smiling o you have to know to understand.

Juliano47:
Dazekid....go back to the ad on jiji bruh and hit the REPORT button. Sorry bout your experience...never knew peeps gonna be selling clones on jiji. sad something.

Yeah I reported the ad already, on a closer look, seems every ad for an iPhone 5s is for a clone so brothers abeg beware. The guys should come employ me for their cyber crime/phone scam operations, they'd be so much more legit

ewizard1:
OP, is the guy a NLer?

I think i know the Guy... His monicker is @FolarinWazzy - His talk is kinda Blurry!

I'm i right?

-I got a clean S4 from him some weeks ago {A real one sha, cos i can tell Real Samsung Devices like die }... He showd me an iPhone 5S too if i wanted it or know someone who would need it. I collected the Phone and laughed, i didnt want to start another argument cos i knew that device was SUPER FAKE!, I just handed it over and said "Lets just deal dis S4, i'll get a buyer for the iPhone later..."

I don't know if he is a nairalander but I got in contact with him from jiji where the ad was placed.

Guys @Francheezy, Abduletudaye, networkgenuis, tzoracle, obrizzy, Kreamie, tchidi, chidekings ,nani667 so none of you guys noticed FM radio and file manager in that pic

networkgenuis:
I hope you dropped some words of advice for the learner. He should find something worthwhile to engage in and quit cheap scams.

LOL bro, I seriously had no words for the dude coz it was obvious he was aware the phone was cloned... Immediately I told him, he just said "Oya bring it na, lemme be going". What do I tell such a person?

Francheezy:
@Dazekid thanks for the heads up about macbite I passed there today and was thinking of eating there some other time. But No. I can't pay for bad food.

You're welcome bro, that food isn't worth anyone's taste buds, to think it it more expensive than tantalizers sef...

threadstone:
Yeah ive seen a lot. The last one i saw was a beautifully designed one.. Nano sim port, same bezel, ios ui and feel. Only for app store to display playstore and the poor dude was so happy he was buying it for 45k.

I just had to step in with a word of advice. This phone is a vry good phone but if u plan on buying an iphone, this is not for u.

Dude came back an hour later to say thanks.

It might actually be just like this one, check the pictures. People have different experience levels you know so what might seem to be a good clone to you may be a terrible one to another person.

Abduletudaye:
We are waiting..atleast pictures...

Pictures uploaded bro... Leave your feedback as well. Cheers.

PICTURES... please upload

Abduletudaye:
Haba..find way jor...

Oga mi I dey the matter

Abduletudaye:
I don take first sit! Abeg upload pix and video! We dey wait

Thanks for coming boss. You're very early, the people serving drinks and gala have not yet come. I am still trying to upload the first part but I keep getting an error. Pictures coming soon as well but the video is 281MB and I don't know how to compress it without zipping it up, not sure people would want to download a zip file for a video.

Now to the scam, I have to say, this scamming as_s niggas are getting smarter every damn time and as such, you have to up your anti scam skills every damn time as well.
I called up the guy at around 12:25PM for the meet and he was like he'd meet me in 30mins, so with that mind set, I decided to chill out till he lands. After thirty minutes, dude was like he was on his way, blah blah blah, yada yada yada. Long story short, he did this ish for about three hours, luckily for me, I was in my hood so I was chilling with some dudes at the barbershop so it wasn't a really big deal for me. At around 2:56PM, I sent him a text telling him I was done and couldn't wait any longer, that was when the dude told me to give him 45minutes that he would get there. Me being the "patient being" that I am agreed and true to his word, he was there in about 45minutes. I had moved to a eatery at this point and was waiting for him, with my plate of rice and chicken (the name of the eatery is MacBite and the food is godawful, never have I tasted fried rice and chicken that was so bland, PS, if you find yourself in Ojodu Berger, or MacBite, do yourself the favour of saving your 1k).
Finally Lil scammie steps in sits down comfortably at my table says a few words without even so much as saying "sorry for the wait" and then hands me the phone, OH MY GOD... I would have laughed right there and then but I was trying to convince the dude that he would be getting paid so I played along.
You see the good thing about phones like the iPhone 5-6, LG G2, G3, HTC one M7/8 etc is that they are so well made and meticulously designed that cloning them becomes such a chore. within the first three seconds of holding the phone, I could tell it was fake (I don't mean to brag but I probably knew it was a clone sooner) the weight of the phone was way more than an iPhone 5S's and the bezel was so much wider, the volume buttons and lock switch were also protruding excessively and that was just the hardware bit, even though that's not all. The screen resolution was (I'm not sure I have words for it) but you see what makes people like this scammer click is the thought they put into this cons, he left a screen nylon thingy on the screen and as such you might have thought that was what was making the screen so blurry. The about phone seemed convincing enough But the iOS 7.1 clone on the phone was just way off. Checking iTunes gaddem gaddem, I was met with an app that I cannot seem to understand how anybody with a working mind would think was actually created by Apple, appstore was Google play store (as expected), so no surprises there. There might have been other things for me to check but why would I bother, a clone discovered is a clone as is.

Funny enough, the scammer was generous enough to let me take photographs of the phone, which shall be uploaded promptly. I also recorded a video as well. Which I shall upload somewhere later, yet to decide where

Daze.

So the issue of scams from online marketplaces is becoming too much of an issue. Just this morning, I was giving info on another thread to help the op avoid getting a faulty phone and then this afternoon, some mofo tried to con me. 8 )
It is in that light that I decided to make this thread, so that people buying on OLX and the likes can actually be confident when trying to deal online because although a lot of this ads are scams, some of them aren't.
Now let me tell you my shii yea;
I bought an LG G2 from a nairalander about a week ago(week ago ) and just yesterday decided to buy an iPhone 5s seeing as I love apple phones so much... Nah, just kidding. One of my friends who schools in Akure hit me up to help him get a used 5s and as such I went to OLX to try to get one but as usual, all the ads were scams so I was pretty much close to postponing my search when someone from a whatsapp group talked about jiji and how it was so much better than OLX. Just like that, I went to the website, searched "iPhone 5s" and checked the first results. Now this is where it all gets interesting, unlike OLX where they're so conspicuous in their scams(at least to me), in the sense that they just want you to lose your about half of your money with nothing to show for it, the niggas running the jiji ish are way more considerate in the sense that you pay the full price of what you want to buy but then end up with a clone.
Now this was how the shii went down. I saw the ad and called the number attached, the dude picked up and I asked him the major questions, is the phone faulty, hope there is no icloud lock and all that ish and the dude was like "nah, absolutely not", he even went as far as saying the phone was just sent by his sister from France, now when Europe and Asia switched places on the globe, I do not know but I was still down at this point. Now you should know that the whole "is the phone neat" bit of my questioning happened because the images on the ad weren't that clear and the website itself uses huge watermarks on the photographs uploaded so whereas I could see some parts of the phone via the pic, most parts were just_____(get it) .
For better judgement, (nigga assured me it was neat but I don't like stories) I asked for him to give me a whatsapp number as the one listed wasn't on whatsapp. He was like "ahan guy but I posted plenty pictures on the site na" and I'm like "yeah bruv I know but the pictures weren't clear on there so I need a better look" he was like "okay o, I will send it", I called him four times over a six hour period and this mofo didn't send any number. At this point my senses were tingling but I'm like "homie just bone".
Y'all should understand that he said he was in my hood, Berger ish, so I was open to playing the whole scene out as I wouldn't have to go through the stress of moving round Lagos in traffic. We set up a meeting for 10:30AM but I had no airtime on my phone and was just waaay to lazy to get up seeing as I just slept three hours before, by twelve, I finally had a bathe and set out to meet Lil scammer.
