Please Help guys, is this a scam or real?

Hello,
My name is john and i live in U.K london.
I been lookng to buy an iphone 4 online but for a good cheap price as in london they are still very expensive.
I found a website on google, which is www.iphone4discount.us
the iphone 4 is for $499.00 USD, and in £348.30 GBP
My only worry is that is this a real genuine website? has anyone bought phones of them before? could the phone be fake or is it eally the iphone 4?
I tried researching online for reviews of the website but unfortnetly can't seem to find anything.
the site is www.iphone4discount.us
its not .com could that be something to consider.
sorry to trouble, but can someone help clear my mind or give advise whether to buy from them or not.
many thanks in advance for the help.

I was scammed by a guy supposedly selling IPhone 4's out of Hong Kong. There was an ad in the Hong Kong Craigslist that read:
Original New Apple iPhone 4G HD 32GB - $500 (Hongkong)
Further your inquiry and purchase ...
When you contact the guy he sends you this:
Hello.

Thanks for the Inquiry.
APPLE IPHONE 4 32GB price: $500.00
The above stated Apple iPhones are brand new iPhone, sealed in the manufacturer box, fully unlocked to work with any Sim card/network operator anywhere in the world, they come with there complete accessories, the total price has been included with the VAT charges...
They all come with 12 months Apple warranty, and we also give 90 days return policy on every of our products.
How many Units of the phone do you want to buy??
We look forward to your soonest response.

The website is real, but that's about all that is real.
The email comes from a guy by the name of Jernej Kramj.
Then he gets you to send him the money via Western Union using this information:
View below our Company's Accountant WESTERN UNION payment information to transfer the payment to:

We wait your soonest response with the payment so as to effect the delivery to you.
Yesterday I spoke with him on the phone. Here is his phone number: 60103687832
It is a Malaysia number.
I sent the money yesterday and today I got this email:
Thanks for the mail.
The shipment has been effected since the payment has been confirmed, but unfortunately we just confirmed that there was miss packaging of the phones, 1 unit Apple iPhone 4 32GB was supposed to be shipped to you, but we just confirmed it is 5 Units that has been shipped out to you...
The delivery will take 36 hours which is 2 days, the BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S has concluded that you have for 3 more units we give you 1 for free.

Get back to us with when you want to make the payment so that we can forward to you the Details to send the payment to.
Thanks for the sincere patronage.

Management.
Of course at this point I knew it was a scam. I called him back after another exchange of emails. I told him that I called Fed Ex and that no package had been shipped. He said that they wouldn't tell me anything until I send him more money. Of course that wasn't true.
Don't be another victim! I feel like a dummy and now I'm out over 600 dollars with shipping and Western Union charges.

    I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
    Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

  • Hey guy can you please help me with this issue PLEASE!

    Hey Apple can you please help me with this issue, i have a iPhone 3gs and when i put my sim card into the iPhone it makes iphone 3gs shut down suddenly how do i fix that?
    iPhone version: 6.0.1
    service provider: Vodafone nz

    You could restarting your phone that sometimes fixes issues
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Please help me transform this C++ code to java code....

    guys...please help me transform this C++ code to java code....please try to explain the code..thanks
    [program]
    #include <stdio.h>
    #define ALIVE 1
    #define DEAD 0
    #define SZ 33
    int stschk (int ,int );
    main()
    int s[SZ][SZ], i, j;
    for (i=0; i<sz; i++ ) s[0] = DEAD;
    for (j=0; j<sz; j++ ) s[0][j] = DEAD;
    s[0][1] = ALIVE;
    for (i=0; i<sz-1; i++) {
    for ( j=1;j<sz;j++ ) {
    s[i][j] = stschk(s[i][j-1],s[i+1][j];
    if(s[i][j-1]==ALIVE) printf("*");
    else printf(" ");
    printf("\n");
    int stschk(int s1,int s2)
    if(((s1==DEAD)&&(s2==ALIVE))||
    ((s1==ALIVE)&&(s2==DEAD))) return ALIVE;
    else return DEAD;

    Being picky, that's not C++, that's C. Standard headers in C++ dont' have .h after them, loop variables are scoped with the for, you use constants rather than #defines, etc..
    C and C++ both don't initialise arrays by default; you'd have to write an initialiser to get it to zero out the array:
        int s[sz][sz] = {};gcc will insert a call to memset to zero the array.
    If the author was assuming that the array was zeroed out, there would be no point zeroing the first row and column.
    The code reads values which haven't been initialised. If you mark such values explicitly undefined, and change the program to report an error when undefined, then you get several cases where the program makes such report.
    So either it' s a primitive random number generator (some random number generators use uninitialised memory as a source of randomness), or it's buggy, or it's processing undefined data and throwing away the result. Either way, it cannot be directly be ported to Java if the undefined values (which are limited to a small area of the ouput) are significant.

    Hi Danny,
    Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
    but not 180, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
    =COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
    or
    =SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

    Best Regards,

    You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
