Alright, it's been almost 2 years now and the phone is still available for purchase (probably) with the same URL, even though the price is the amended 7 USD now. Is it a scam, did anyone order it and actually get it and what exactly is preventing me from ordering 5-6 to use as burner phones for whatever nefarious purposes?

For those of you living in the 21st century and actually having some shame, I'm talking about the incredibly sketchy Freedom 251. It's an Android phone with piss-poor specs that you can purchase for what seems to be less than what you spend on lunch. It used to be $4, now it's $7 and you can get a discount if you decide to bulk it.

Also, please share your theories. I'm under the impression a shipment got stolen and someone's using just enough poo nation loopholes to abuse the fuck out of the situation.

Of course its a scam. At the absolute minimum they're harvesting and selling user data.

Cheapest chink phone is $30

Can't undercut the chinks

▶Anonymous 11/06/17 (Mon) 15:49:43 No.816225

IIRC, a company made a bunch of cheap phones but went bankrupt or some shit and left behind a bunch of stock and these guys just took those phones and sold them at such a low price because they wanted to get rid of that stock and also, since they didn't spend any money in development, testing, royalties, production, etc. they are able to profit from such a low price.
