A complex technological product sold for virtually nothing is starting to look like a scam? I am shocked beyond the capacity for rational thought!

i know !
impossible right ?! o.o


but sarcasm aside
it is possible to sell smart phones for 5 dollars or 10 dollars
these are heavily discounted outdated models and priced accordingly to get rid off

this thing however is becoming dodgier by the minute

Buy a bunch of chinese phones on some credit or "aquire" said phones. Rebrand them on the cheap, cut a few deals with officials to bypass any tarrifs on electronic imports. Then use some kind of market app that will sustain said phone through customer purchases of knockoff apps.

Then liquidate your assets before anyone knows what hit them and move on to the next scam.

Way better plan than stealing underpants.

Because providing everyone cheap and quality food and education was NOT important.

Let's wait for June.
And to be honest cheap things doesn't always means it's good.
Quality of that smart phone will be beyond awful.
I can guarantee that.
