E-stores china offers genuine apple iphones on www.chinaecarts.com. they claim to obtain these directly from apple supplier foxcon. their product description is verbatim apple and they even claim to offer a 12-month warranty by apple. I ordered an iphone4s and received a cheap fake, apparently running the android operating system instead of ios. after my threat to start an international campaign against chinaecarts, they seem to have taken some compromising data off their website. the e-mail-correspondence is self-explanatory:
………………………………………………………………………………………

Dear madam or sir,

Please refund my money first to

Account [protected], ing-diba bank, bic ingddeff or
Paypal: [protected]@gmx.net

After refund I will send the "iphone" back.

If I don't receive the refund within 24 hours, I will start campaigns on international forums against chinaecarts.com, report chinaecarts as fraudulent dealer to various institutions worldwide and get your website blocked for commercial transactions.

Thanks and best regards

Dear madam or sir,

I have received both packages today, thank you.

I have 2 complaints:
1. I did not receive the 1 x classic stylish soft silica gel phone case for iphone 4.
2. the "iphone4s" you sent me is a fake! its hardware is of much lower quality than apple and it runs android software, not ios. the only western languages available are usenglish and french. even in us english the keyboard often contains chinese characters which I cannot read. etc., etc.

Your website http://www.chinaecarts.com/unlocked-apple-iphone-c-18_223.html clearly offers under "apple products" : china wholesale unlocked apple iphone 3g/3gs, iphone 4/4s, those iphone are 100% branded new and original come from apple iphone factory in china directly (foxcoon). buy china cheapest apple iphone with low price!
The product description exactly describes the true iphone with ios, siri, gps and 8mp camera, etc. the one I received does not have these features.in addition, your faqs even promise 12 months warranty by apple:
Faq:
1):why the price is so cheap?
Answer:the iphone of us come from apple iphone factory (foxconn) in china directly. so the price is very cool! we may adjust the price according to the factory price per week.
2):the iphone on your website are branded new and original unlocked factory version?
Answer:yes, our iphone are 100% brand new and original unlocked factory version, they can be used worldwide. also they have 12month warranty by apple like other original iphone.
3):is the iphone free shipping?
Answer:yes, we can ship the iphone worldwide, we will choose the best shipping method to shipment the item according to the destination country. such as dhl, ems, ups, fedex, aramex, airmail etc.
4):can I use discount coupon for apple iphone?
Answer:sorry, apple iphone order not accept discount coupon now.
5):can I get more disocunt if order in bulk?
Answer:that depends on the stock status, if we have more stock available, there will be some discount for bulk order.
6):which payment methods you accept for apple iphone?
Answer:now we only accept western union (5% discount) and bank transfer (5% discount) for apple iphone order.
7):why not accept paypal for payment?
Answer:apple iphone is best-sellers, also it is high value products, apple factory only accept payment in advance, in this case, to keep our business well, we not accept payment by paypal (we accpet payment by paypal for other products). thanks for your understanding.
8):do you have black/white color?
Answer:you can leave comments to us about the color before check out.

So there must be a mistake, I received a cheap iphone imitation instead of the article I ordered.

I see 2 solutions to this problem:
1. you refund my money immediately.
2. you send me a genuine iphone 4s by dhl immediately. (not by mail which will take another month, because I will be travelling for about 4 months, which is why I wanted a real iphone.)

I will return the fake iphone after receipt of the money or the real iphone, if you pay for the shipping,.

Should I not receive a satisfactory reply within 24 hours, I will have to conclude that it was not a mistake, but deliberate fraud. I will then start campaigns on international forums against chinaecarts.com and report chinaecarts as fraudulent dealer to various institutions worldwide.

Best regards

I had two deductions from AEC FBO MEDLINK and contacted my bank account to find out what it was. They explained to me that it was and I put a stop payment on this company. 21 days later another charge for the same account of $19.95 was posted but this time under a different name "GOVERNMENT GRANT MEMBERSHIP". I called the bank again to find out that it is the same company using a different name. I called the Better Business Bureau in Houston, TX since that is where the company is out of and I was told that the company already has an "UNSATISFACTORY RATING". I was adviced to file a complaint online with the BBB in Houston, TX and to call the District Attorney (Fraud Division) [protected]) to file a complaint.

I have been victimized by this company as well. My account was charged $79.95 which caused me to be overdrawn with my bank. Does anyone know how to contact them directly? I would really like to speak with someone about this urgently.

Thanks

I have experienced the same as most of you. They drafted 79.95 out of my account. I called the company at [protected]. They told me I had a member ship with the company. And were very rude, they actually hung up on me. I have never heard of them. And never received any emails from them. That they said I would get. I don't know how to get my money back. If any of you have received a refund please let me know how. I beleive this is a scam and I am going to report this.

this company got me to! I have been charged so many bank overdraft fees I cant even pay my bills.I just went online to wells fargo and found out what was charging me, I've only wrote one check on that account and I had about 5 different ones, I dont know how they printed checks with my name and account on them, for trial memberships at companies. If anyone finds out how to stop them or if there is a way to get my money back I would be grateful for the information.THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED! it is outragous.

Alerted of $19.95 charge on my account by the bank when they bounced my payment for electric bill. I printed out the electronic check to see what it was.

The check was made out to Government Grant Membership for $19.95 the memo section states Customer Serv [protected] or ConsumerBill.com.
The signature section states NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED.

I called the phone number it stated for me to access the website. There is no website. Instead I got [redacted] and I filed a complaint. Hopefully if enough file together we will get our money back!

There was a check processed through my bank for the amount of 19.95 for a "free trial subscription program" I did not authorize this or even know about this until I checked my bank statement. it shows on the check to call [protected], when we call this number it refers you to www.consumerbills.com. neither one of these was helpful and no one could be reached at either one. I never talked nor even heard of this company.

The same thing happened to me. I checked my checking account balance and 19.95 was taken out. I don't know this company. I was looking for and thinking about doing an on-line pay-day loan. I was talking to someone totally different and with a different name. Now I have to see if my bank can help me, because I think that they will probably come through next month and deduct money out of my account. I might even be out of more money with my bank because of fees I might have to pay to stop these people from taking money again

I the same as I have had $64.50 cents with drawed from my account and now 3.95. I absoutley know I would have never signed up for anything like this. I was applying for some credit cards for people with less than perfect credit and submited my bank info to this group (which I should have never done) I just called their customer service # and of course the were closed. Unbelieveable. I am going to have to change bank accounts because this bull ### will continually happen and you will have ###s like the one who responds saying " we are legitimate" "People know exactly what they are getting into". I guarantee you this is probably a small time operation comprised of computer hackers who have devised a plan to screw people out of money. And will probably do so for some time based out of over seas or out of Florida. At some point we will read about these guys or see them on the news in cuffs. I am more pissed at my self that anything. I knew better. I will be contacting my Uncle (An attorney and has Private Investigators under him) and I will explain what is happening to me and he will unleash the dogs. I am sure we will discover this is a small time out fit and the rebuttles we see on this blog are probably done by one or 2 people. I am such a sap.

How the hell did these people even get my banking information? I have never done any business online where I had to supply my bank account info! This company has tried to take 3 different payments ($64.50;$3.95;$99.00) all in the past 10 days, so not only has that over drawn my account by $$167.45, I have racked up $102 in NSF fees! Who the ### ARE YOU PEOPLE? And more importantly what gives you the right to screw me out of 269.46?!? I tell you what, I have called once an hour every hour that your company claims to be open, and nobody answers that phone, why don' t you try giving us an actual address, or email address!

I would also like to know a couple things (other than why the hell you are trying to scam money out of my bank account)

1) How is it you are supposedly located in New Jersey, but your office hours are 9-5 west coast time? Last time I checked New Jersey was on the East coast and not in PST!

2) Why don't you guys publish your corporate bank account information on the internet so that some of us that are getting screwed by you can maybe scam some of our money back out of your account without authorization?

3) Who's laws is your business governed by? In the 50 states of the United States you need to have some sort of signature before you can withdrawl money from an account, or at least a signed debit authorization!

and finally, if you are a legitimate company like you claim to be, why don't you send me your address, and the name of your top 3 CEO's! I would like to pay them a visit...

I just looked on my bank account and found the check of 16.95 had been deducted. Fortunally, the phone # was an active one. I cancelled that account and suppose to be refunded the money. I will believe when its back in my account. I was explained that I agreed when I purchase something online that a pop up was shown to see if I wanted to try this. I have my pop-up blocker on so I did not see this pop-up nor did I accept to try this primetime. The only thing that I purchased lately was wresting tickets on ticketmaster so don't know if yall did but I think this is where it was at.

I have been dealing with this with my bank also. This AEC FBC company has been charging my account 14.95 every month for awhile. I filed a dispute with my bank and they said they will reverse a couple of the overdraft fees but what about my money I lost in the past fes months. I going to try to filr a Federal Reg E report, I think it's called, with my bank and see if I can get my money back. I hope so because I work hard for my money too and even 14.95 means alot to me right now. I hope all of us victims can get some justice.

Today, I checked my statement online so i could buy dinner when I came across a check with a very high 90000 number. So i checked it out and saw a AEC FBO Prime time savings club name and an amount of 19.95. I now cannot have dinner with my pregnant wife because of this. I filed fraud, got my account shut down, but filed a complaint with the bbb on behalf of everyone who got debited. This place is located somewhere in wisconson according to bbb, if anyone was wandering.
