This topic will get closed. Sorry mate, rules are rules.
sorry i only read the sticky rules in this subforum. thought there would be some rule against classifieds.
So here's a new scam I've not heard of before... Some time ago I bought a cheap Huawei E1750 3G dongle off eBay. At least, that's what I thought I'd bought. Today it turns out it's a E1552 which is half the speed and worth about 1/4 the price!
So people out there are taking E1552 innards and putting them into E1750 cases and making it look very convincing, complete with anti-tamper stickers.
In case you're still reading, the way to work out what you've really got is to paste your IMEI number into this web site: Mod edit: Spammy link removed.
I also confirmed the version via various ATI commands too.
Be careful out there!

I feel like the imei check is the real scam and this thread should be deleted

Hi guys,
It's a big pain as there is no ready available back cover for the oneplus 5. However, you can use the below link to get 1000 rupee off on the accessories like the sandstone backcover worth 990. Or any other premium or silicon covers.
Plz note: this is available only on oneplusstore.in website. U don't need to worry about express delivery. I got my mobile delivered by priority within 48 hours.
Mod edit: links removed.
Enjoy.
thread closed,
XDA does not allow referral links.
thanks

So i remember when I got my Note 5, Note 7, and LG V20 there were plenty of threads that offered items such as cases, screen protectors, etc all for free if the user posted a review.. Are things like that no longer allowed here? I have a vendor friend from China who still does this, but it's via Amazon.. Just checking to see if XDA disallowed this type of stuff and seeing if maybe that's why none of those posts pop up here anymore..
Thanks!
Your a bit late. There was about 3 of them right before the phone released.
How can it be free and honest? ?

It's highly unlikely to be an unbiased and therefore helpful review. It's getting silly on Amazon now too. Take a look at some of the tempered glass screen protectors for this phone. Quite a few are highly rated, but are from obvious shill reviews and NOT verified purchases. And the fwe verified purchases? All 1 or 2 star reviews from unhappy people suckered by the 5 star reviews. Filter by verified purchase always!

I agree. I've made a few negative reviews on Amazon. Then the seller emails me to remove review via bribe with a refund ? WTF hence why some shoddy items seem to get high star review counts.

For Amazon reviews, I highly recommend Review Meta. They have a couple of Extensions and Add-Ons for browsers that can help you sift out inflated/fake reviews and give you a more realistic rating of items, and it explains why certain reviews are shady too. Of course, it doesn't help for some of the less reviewed items, but their site has very helpful info about how to spot paid and fake reviews. Highly Recommend!!
Companies would give out free items to most people who posted in the thread, now, it seems like they make you fill out a form and they add you to their email list and don't send anything out.
About a year ago, Amazon did away with all of the free for honest review things that they could. They probably still exist, but they get rid of sellers who do it whenever they can. There used to be entire sites that did nothing but hook people up with free or discounted stuff for honest reviews. I got burned a few times by products that are rated 4.8 stars but are absolute crap. I'm glad to see it go. There is no way that you're going to get a pile of unbiased reviews when you're just giving people stuff.
So, have you been honest on your reviews of free products?
Care to link the class to some of your online reviews for critique?

Amazon made a “for show” effort to remove those reviews, but biased/shill reviews still exist there and all over the internet.
Disagree that all 4 star and up reviews are biased. Disagree that the review system bears no fruit and is uselesss.
When I had the HTC one m8 a phone case company contacted me on xda. They sent me a phone case and it was pure garbage. Taking the phone in and out a few times it lost its shape and would say around the phone. I told the company of my findings and he said many had said the same thing. If the fixed it or not I don't kn now but last I heard from them. Asked if I should return it and they said do what ya want with it. So I through it in the trash.
I don't mind being contacted but I don't expect to see free stuff for honest reviews.
Like with my zero lemon extended battery for the v20. Got a 90% discount from them. So I reviwed it on Amazon and zero was upset that I got a discount. Told them I wasn't lying on my review and if they wanted the battery back I would be more than happy to return it to them. I won't lie. I gave them a 4 star because they cheaper out on the cover and made a rubber case to go on the back. To me would allow all sort of dust and other contaminant easy access in to the phone

XDA blocks the companies from doing that because it violate their terms, and they want those companies to pay for the advertising not get it from xda users.
Yeah I got chargers, phone cases, cables, Bluetooth speakers, etc all free for review in the past, but it seems those programs have gone astray. I do see how they could be used in a negative way though, kinda crappy.. I'd be totally honest too lol, like if the thing didn't even turn on I'd make sure to mention that in the reviews lol..
