Real Fake

N73 for RM400. That's a real bargain but definitely suspicious too. A young Malay lad was unfortunately careless enough to fall for the deal which was pretty hard to resist. He bought a fake phone. Guess what, who're the culprit? It's our fellow good friends who are good in producing imitations from China.

If one doesn't turn on the phone, it's exactly the real thing. It looks and weighs exactly as the same. If one is not careful enough, it also sounds like the real thing when it's turned on with the typical Nokia music. It has a battery and standard housing (with appropriate stickers).



And the Malay lad was openly claiming that he "kena jampi" (casted with spell) and that the Chinese conman "kuat sembahyang macam-macam jahat punya Tuhan" (worship various evil gods). Well, I don't buy that and of course, these people are always looking for excuses for their foolish acts, to ensure that their IQ are not perceived as near to 0. Not good, it's more stupid this way.

Anyway, have to really admire these guys from China in producing this 'dummy' that really fooled many people (tried showing it to some people around, and they're amazed! Some offered higher prices to get the fake N73.) However, a word of caution to everyone out there, really really have to be careful as the fakes are becoming more real than ever.
