    Hello, for some time I wanted to buy a phone, finally on the olx I found a cool offer with the new galaxy s7 edge. The visitor has already sent it to him with the possibility of checking before payment. Now I read a little about the perfect counterfeits from China and I wonder if this is original. Seems sent on delivery, the price is normal (not some suspiciously low), sent me a photo with EMEI - I checked on the Samsung hotline and is okey, because the phone is registered in Play (ie, as the guest wrote), has and sent me a purchase invoice. Generally, I seem to be good. Do you think it could be an option that the guest forged the invoice and the EMEI number? For example, he downloaded the chiniola, he cursed EMEI, he also added to the software and wql? Doubts have struck me as I confronted EMEI's picture with those on other auctions.
    This is the one he sent me.

    First of all, it worries me about what the quality of this print sent me, and after that the last letters in the second code are bigger, while in the second picture (example) there is no such thing. In addition, the words SAMSUNG on the back of the phone such a tandenty (well, unless a clear picture and this). Maybe I am exaggerating, but I prefer to be sure than to spend so much money on a fake. What do you think ? Below the other photos. which he sent me.

    You would have to check IMEI programmatically, but you will do it when you have a telephone, although I do not know how it was sent to you by downloading with the possibility of checking. The courier will not give you a package if you do not pay him at the same time acknowledging receipt of the package. You will not pick up (paying and accepting) the packages will not open because it was not formally delivered to the recipient, that is you.

    In the case of a trip, you will have to argue directly with the seller, and then the word against the word and if it does not go you will be in the back anyway ;)

    He sent me by Polish post, and there is such a possibility for an additional payment of 2 zlotys, that I can check before payment.
    Now just tell me which program can I check? Because on the net when I was looking, for example, when it comes to parameters, on such Atutu as I display them, they can also be false. I've also checked that such Atutu office can do it, where calculations are made on another device or something and the result is a reliable benchmark. And with this EMEI, what do you recommend that it check? And regarding this photo. with EMEI and samsung logo, do you think it's a bit suspicious?

    As you look at the net, look at it and do not bother with any stupid things on the forum. The number to check IMEI * # 06 # on the keyboard.
    Read the regulations of Poczta Polska. You CAN NOT check the parcel before picking it up, and the receipt is nothing but payment for the parcel and receipt receipt! How can you check something if you have not got it formally? For the system, no signature means no receipt of the package, if the package is open and there is no receipt and the money is debited then the postman is. What you write about is checking the package but AFTER RECEPTION, after payment and receipt, that is when the postman opens it and here note, you check the contents of the package according to the "Specification of the content of the shipment". The specification will probably be the name of the phone and quantity, will it agree then? Even if the postman waits until you fold or run the phone, check IMEI it will not write the protocol anyway because the contents of the package agree with the specification. Either the seller does you in a bamboo or you do not deign to check what the check option is.

    This is the third time I buy a phone and every time I checked the package, I first unpacked it, checked the content and turned on the phone and checked if everything was playing, then I said that I accept the package and then I paid. So, however, it is possible.
    I mean only how you can recognize the counterfeit. Now I think so that if I turn on the phone and will be the softu brand from the play and IMEI agrees then there is probably no option that there is something wrong with this phone, probably.

    The phone looks like the original, I checked it in the imei database and everything is correct. The phone, as it was with Play, does not have to have a Play brand and normally a soft one.

    I have reviewed videos about counterfeits and now I know what items to look for when I watch it. If the invoice will be raised and looked original, all EMEI number and content will match and the phone will look like the original one I will take. If I have any doubts, I will not accept the package.

    Ps. as I checked EMEI by calling Samsung, they told me that this phone with this number. EMEI has a brand from Play.
