What's the old saying:
If it's too good to be true....

What are the chances of getting 3 emails from 3 different companies at around 05:30 this morning, offering ridiculous
prices on goods?

Sure as a retailer, I get many offers from many companies, but I find this very hard to believe. Here are just some of
the products that also offer free courier shipping:

Apple Products
Apple Iphone 5 16GB/32GB/64GB -------------$110/$120/$130
Apple Iphone 4S 16GB/32GB/64GB-------------$90/$100/$110
Apple Iphone 4 16GB/32GB/64GB--------------$70/$80/$90
Apple MacBook Pro MD318LL/A --------------$270.00
Apple MacBook Air i5 13.3 MC965ZH/A------- $230
Apple MacBook Air 11.6 i7 MD845LL/A--------$325

Samsung Not II 32GB -----------------------$120
SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 16GB/32GB-------------$90/$100
Samsung Galaxy S 4 16GB/32GB/64GB-------$110/$120/$130
Blackberry Z10-----------------------------$130
Blackberry bold touch 9900 ----------------$100
HTC windows phone 8X ----------------------$65
HTC one X ---------------------------------$98
HTC one S ---------------------------------$65
Samsung Galaxy Nexus gt-19250------------- $70

I kid you not, within minutes of each other:

Their wholesaler in common, appears to be Shenzhen baolijing electronic CO,.LTD

The prices look made up to me. Pluck a silly figure out of the air.

Comments?

Cheers Don...

I ended up getting a similar offer from 8 different companies with 8 different web sites, then multiple emails started.
As I change my email address every year, I filtered them at my server for now.

I figure a lot of people will be hit hard from this mob, either with mass emails or by putting their hands in their
pockets. Google brings in some interesting results on the domains.
