Both of them are playing you.  Your "friend" might not realize it, or he might just be intentionally trying to scam you, which I think is even more likely.

Why even bother cutting you in if he's got someone who can do this?  That's $200 more to have just by keeping it to yourself...





I sincerely hope you're not reposting in this thread two years from now about how you're finally eligible for a discounted phone for the plan you've had the whole time.

Lol they would fuck you over.

They would refer you to the division that deals with this, I forget the term. It's like creditors.

Alright so I get a message from one of my friends on facebook today saying he knew an easy way to get a shit ton of money. He said he knew this guy who was going to give us enough money to buy 5 iPhones. He said all we got to do is buy the iPhones with his money then give him the iPhones. Apparently he knows someone who can sell them in another country for a big profit. he said he would give me 200 hundred dollars to do it.

So it made sense to me and I figured I had nothing to lose since he was giving me the money to buy them anyways so I agreed. So me my friend and one of his friends drove up to the mall. And met the guy . He handed me 1800 dollars and I walked in and was about to buy them but then I realized I had to sign up for a plan too. this sketched me out and I told the worker I would have to call my family about it. so I called the guy and he said not to worry about the plan cuz he knew someone who worked at an apple store who could void my contract. apparently this is some elaborate underground system. I got sketched out cuz if he wasn't able to void the contract that would mean I would have to pay 99 dollars every month for the next 2 years.

He was pretty pissed that I didn't follow through and my friend kinda was to because I made him look bad. so my friend made 200 dollars.

They said they were going to do it tomorrow again in 2 places but said if I came I had to follow through this time.

So it's a pretty much garunteed way to earn 500 dollars the only thing I'm worried about is if they can't void the contract then I'm fucked for the next 2 years. should I do it?




why wouldn't the guy just go and buy the phones himself?

Once you buy the phones and give them to him and they're in your name he can let people call 900 numbers on them, make long distance calls, use them to orchestrate crimes, sell the phones to other people or whatever. 200 bucks is peanuts compared to the mess you'll find yourself in. Plus those iPhones have internet, it might be about downloading porn or music-- Goddamn, now, I'm thinking maybe you could do it for me...

Actually, depending on the service provider, you can cancel with an early termination fee, then possibly part of the bill.

I know gheyT&T charges an early termination fee of $175, so you may have actually found a way to make a very difficult and convoluted $25, once every two years or so.  They might decide to charge you for the discount difference for the device though if you cancel that soon.



Odds of getting fucked I'd say are at least 50:1.

seriously, Poptart, you don't get somethin' for nothin'. unless you want to get fucked over by this dude i'd tell him to buy the damn phones himself.

this is all a bunch of bullshit.

that guy is kind of dumb too, i wouldn't trust someone with 1800 bucks. but it sounds like a scam, there are easier/better ways to make 200 bucks.

I already explained that he couldn't buy the phones himself because the store workers would eventually get suspicious of him buying so many damn phones. so he needs other people to buy them for him. Only thing I'm worried about is him not being able to void the contract.
