Beware of cheap iPhone offers
Nowadays schemes and offers have started being advertised on Telegram also. Many types of cards and links are shared on group chat, in which details of phone offers are given. The most attractive among these are the offers to get iPhone at cheap rates. If you also get such a message, then be cautious before ordering.
iPhone discount offers are being shared on Telegram in a very clever manner. According to a picture, claims are being made to get iPhone for 8 thousand rupees and Google Pixel and other premium quality smartphones for 4 to 5 thousand rupees. These offers are completely false. Keep in mind that online offers are definitely available on iPhone or other smartphones but it is not possible to get premium devices at such cheap prices. This is a case of sheer fraud, so stay away from such offers.

risk of fraud
Buying an iPhone available for Rs 8000 on Telegram can be a risky task. This could be fraud. It is also possible that you have paid for the iPhone and you do not receive the iPhone. If the seller is pressurizing you to send money immediately then it could be fraud.
It is also possible that the iPhone being sold at a cheap price is defective or stolen. Also, there will be no warranty or return policy on such devices.
