REAL iPhone 5S for $150 from China?

I have a friend who says he recently made a contact in China to get all kinds of electronics for unheard of prices(ex: iPhone 5S $150, iPad Mini $85). He said he has been working for 7 years to get a connection like this. He says he can get just about any new electronics like… Cameras, laptops, headphones, smartphones, blu-ray players, etc. Is there any chance he is getting real product?
BTW. He skyped with the person and they showed him the operations and facilities and they say all products are 100% real(they even take payments through PayPal).
I will know for sure in a few days because he placed an order from them, but in the meantime I would like to know others opinions. I can't stop thinking about this possible huge opportunity if it is real. What do you think?

Most things from china are scams.

Absolutely positively no. China is notorious for fake goods, much of which are sloppy imitations, and if so, completely impossible to get your money back.

ANybody can take payments through PayPal, all you need is a PayPal account.
Your "friend" is scamming you. A Skype tour of a factory?
Did they show you any paperwork from Apple listing them as a legitimate manufacturer and distributor?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

You don't have a head for business, kid.

China is notorious for fake goods and gadgets.

  • Wanting to buy an Iphone 4s under $150? I want to buy an iphone 4s under $150. I'm not looking to get the plan until later. I just want the phone. Ebay has some but they end up getting to $200. Any websites or stores possibly? And I know that you can buy an iphone 4s without a plan. There are ways but I want to know the cheapest. Thanks(: Anon, where was it you got your phone. I might just have to get the plan. I will spend 70 dollars a month or so.

  • Should I buy an iPhone 4 for 150$? Any input? I have the opportunity to purchase a "like-new" iPhone 4 from someone I work with for 150$. However, I realize the iPhone 5 is about to release and I wouldn't like to buy it, just to have the price plummet next week. It might actually be a 4s. Not sure. Didn't know they were two different things. I still have a flip phone that does no sort of getting on the internet or any of that fancy stuff.
