Hi guys, just wanted to make everybody aware that there is a scammer on Ebay selling QTEK branded phones.
I tried to purchase a QTEK 9100 on ebay about 3 weeks ago and ended the sale with "Buy It Now" and made an instant payment with Papal. Haven't received any goods so I have had to file a claim with Paypal as he doesnt respond to messages. His ID is michele9198 so beware if this seller. Stung me for £225. :(
Spread the word guys
Regards.

@mav... Sorry to hear about that...
Guys there are plenty of these scammers about, just do a search on ebay for an Eten G500...
You'll find a number of them available from users in China & Ireland at great prices, and all the sellers have 10+ positive feedback... and they are all SCAMS!!!!
The best way to check if these are legit is to actually check the Items they have received feedback for... click on their Feedback Score, Click on an Item ID and you'll generally find that there is no real item there, just a load of gobbledigook and many of the users that left the feedback are 'No Longer Active'...
In short, be very careful (read: paranoid) when using ebay, and even more so when buying underpriced 'too good to be true' gadgetry...

in some CHinese EBAY shops or some small shops often they sell things which are not 100% legal cause they havent passed QC check in the factory (that s the reason of the super prices) of course usually those PPC are fixed up but it can happen like my case some small things...My qtek is QWERTZ and not QWERTY keyboard and it came with english sys so there was the problem of Y and Z fixed by reg hacking.... some of them had touch screen messed up but I have fixed for 200 CNY something like 20USD....so in some cases those PPC are really for sale but dnt expect them to be perfect!
:) just to let you know
I like to buy from them cause i can get a better price and it need maybe a little work to fix em uo
