I am getting many emails from Chinese companies offering fair deals on iPhone 5s etc. they say they have surplus orders from apple supplier Foxconn in China. There price is quite cheap, one person say to me I can pay half by western union, and then pay other half to courier when deliver. Another one say I can pay by escrow so money only released to them when I confirm I am happy with phone. Any ideas?

There is an Old saying.. If its Cheap, its for a reason, More than likely your reason will be you will Never Recieve Anything...

Only purchase from a Trusted company....

I think they will send phone but will be like fake android or something. They say they have 2 year apple warranty but I doubt it!
