Horrible Experience with ExoticPhone

Exoticphone.com is the worst place to buy a phone from. who ever is telling that they are a happy with their service, I am 100% sure it is some1 from them trying to scam again. my english is very bad and i am not smart enough to understand all the points in the reviews above. I guess you have a confusion if they have a real adress. I hate them from all my heart but i will not lie-- they have a place at broadway. but its a small massy room. you will see some cell phone boxes on the floor and some poly bags on the wall. except that there is no sign of any stock of cell phones in their office. when i was visiting thier place, infront of me couple of times they send one guy to bring phones from a nearby store (after somebody come for a pickup) and the other person called that store so they give the guy the phones saying he will send the bill for it soon.

They said their name is JAY and BILL on the phone. but its their FAKE name as they all are fake persons. i guess 2 friends are running that business. they are from Bangladesh. I myself is from India ( i speak their same language as the part of inida i am from is just beside bangladeh and i know many many people from bangladesh ) . No one from Bangladesh have a name JAY or BILL... if you are shamed of your name or your background i think thats your biggest shame mr BILL and JAY. And all those reviews that are saying EXOTICPHONE IS THE BEST(?!?!?!)--- by any means they are also trying to prove mr JAY and BILL's greatness.

[steve2000 ---------Speak to Jay, he's real gentleman. ]

[whysold1--- Actually I have dealt with Bill. He is a very nice person. I have spoken to him many times. sometimes he's very busy but overall he is the best.]

[noverice2k -- I was very please with Bill's service. ]

[bl333-- I was especially impressed with a gentleman name Bill(and he
was a real gentleman).] ----------- this isnt BackHOME mr Police officer.

[todd2007 ] ----------forget to praise MR JAY OR BILL

All of this users are registered and wrote the review at the same month of same year. (I cant see the exact date of registation otherwise it could prove same date also) all of them only made one comment and its for exoticphone and for mr BILL and JAY ofcourse :P

And the most interesting nick is ""terrychoda"" i dont know the exact meaning of terry but CHODA is a very common SLANG in BANGLA. CHODA means the word starting with 'F' and ending with 'CKER' . if you dont believe me ask any one from bangladesh or someone from India who speaks BANGLA. and to you mr TERRYCHODA--- if you come from a Customer Service background from a company with the highest Customer Satisication rating in the Wireless Industry -- dont use a SICK NICK like this in place like resellerrating where quite decent people read and write each others opinion.

i know TERRYCHODA you are one of the so Callled mr BILL or JAY (perfect nick for a perfect gentleman). you are running one of the best and respectable cell phone store online. people here might not know the meaning of CHODA but you know what it means. and if you wanna praise your stores with so many different nicks -its ok but dont try to make mr BILL and JAY so great.. its so childish.. this is USA and people here have so many things to do and no time to hear how great MR BILL and JAY are.

I am sorry again for my bad English. also sorry if i hurt any users feelings by mistaken as bill or jay. But i am not sorry for mr terryCHODA. change ur sick nick first.





this is the copy of a review of mine in another site------

I bought a cell phone from them 3 months before. The phone was open box and it wasnt able to read any kind of micro sd card. for exchange i went to their pickup location. i asked them to change it to a new one. they said it wasnt in stock so they will fix the problem. they keep the phone with them and ask me to come back after a week. when i went back there they said the phone is fixed and gave it back to me. to make sure i tried infront of them with a micro sd card and it was the same ****. they said my card was defective. so i asked them to show me if it was working with a card from their store. they tried with another card and still it wasnt working. I was really pissed off by their lies. they knew it very well that the phone's cad slot wasnt working but first they want to return me the phone saying the problem was fixed and secondly they said my card was defective. When i asked for a new phone or a refund they said the 7 days from purcahse is over so they cant do any exchange or refund any more. after arguing for more than hours they agreed for a refund with a penalty of 15% for the restocking fee. They said it wasnt any major defect for a phone so they will not accept it as a defective item. so i had to be happy with the 85% of the real price.

Exoticphone.com arey they reliable

Exoticphone.com Are they reliable?

I am a cellphone freak. Every new phone comes out I am one of the fewest persone to get it first. But I am very picky and I like my phone to be perfect. Exoticphone.com happens to be one of the online stores located close to my Manhattan apartment in New York. I purchaed from almost all the online stores in New York city. This time I went to purchase from Exoticphone.com. I bought Nokia N95 and paid close to $800 when it first came out. I was very much excited with this phone. Unfortunately, I dropped the phone and broke the LCD and was devasted. It is actually one of my most favorite phone of the ones I bought already. Then I decided to go back to Exoticphone.com to see if they can do something for me. And.....this is why I'm writing about Exoticphone.com...I was particularly pleased with their service. To repair the LCD, it costed $160. Exoticphone.com shared half of cost, $80, to share the loss with me. I was very please with their service and recommend other people to go to these guys.....thanks Jahid.

Dear Moderators, can you kindly remove SumonC from this forum. The guy is professional liar who gets paid for writing bad things about exoticphone.com. I can prove it to you:
ANYONE who visited 1170 Broadway, exoticphone.com's location is one the most prestigious location in the enite USA. DON'T BELIEVE ME...go see for yourself. Anyone who have visited their location knows their place is located in one of the most prestigious place in the entire world. I'm speaking for them because I have bought six phones from them and will continue to buy from. It is not fair you talk about Jay, one of the most nices man I ever met. In fact, you fake screen name SumonC, if you ever met the damn guy you would say he's a real gentleman.
Make sense of what you say, don't talk like a donkey for he doesn't know what he talks about. Of course he's real name is not Jay, he's name is Jahid but to make it easy or short they call him Jay. What's wrong with that?You ever heard of the name Mike, you immigrant! it stands for Michael. Have you ever heard of the name Nat, it stands for Nathaniel. Go to college, get a real job, and you'll know what they mean, what they pay you man....$5 an hour? Go work in Dunkin Donuts and you'll get $7.15 an hours, at least you'll have a ethical job.
You must be dumb too becuause if some compliment is written on January and another comment is written on february, i don't know what planet you live in but it is not same TIME in the planet EARTH.

SumonC, you probably have nothing to do? who cares someone name starts with "f..." "d..." or "b..." what is the difference? why do you care? We are more interested what was your damn problem with exoticphone.com.

MOderators, you can tell he's a professional advertiser because he collects information from other places as living and write bad things about not only exoticphone.com but he's written bad things about cellhut, plemix and other website. Please ban him, I can give you more proof.

plese ban either me or SHOWBOY... one of us is a liar.. ban whoever is the liar

mr showboy / mr jahid / jay / terrychoda??


before i say anything i wanna apoligize if i hurt some1 in my last post.

i was very pissed off with the service and lies of exoticphone and on the top someone from exoticphone is writing reviews for the store and to praise mr BILL and JAY acting as a customer. how come u know so much stuff about mr JAY or JAHID?

so SHOWBOY u r telling that i get paid 5/hour to write bad reviews against exoticphone. but even if u give me 50/hour to stop writing against exoticphone --- my ans is NOOOOOO way. u guys r perfect scam and u cheat with me. i will write as many reviews as i can wherever i get a chance. You not only cheat with me but also cheating with everyone here in resellerratings by posting false reviews acting as a customer.

Dear ShowBoy u also told that "MOderators, you can tell he's a professional advertiser because he collects information from other places as living and write bad things about not only exoticphone.com but he's written bad things about cellhut, plemix and other website. Please ban him, I can give you more proof. "

why dont u just give the PROOF. i never heard about plemix(its my lack of knowledge... wat else i can say) .... i know about cellhut. i heard that they r a reputable company. but to me their price was little high and i was looking to save some bucks. and that was my mistake. i save few bucks and loose 10 times than that by buying the phone from exoticphone.

listen mr JAHID or SHOWBOY or mr TERRYCHODA... wat is true i will tell no matter u give me 5/hour or 50/hour. people were doubting here in this forum if u guys have any address at all or not? even if i dont like u i will not lie. yes u have an address at broadway. yes its a very nice place. yes its a big building. but wat about ur store ???? its a junk place. its size is a quarter of a small studio apartment. there is not even a single phone in display there. how many phone u have in ur stock? dont u buy from another store whenever u get an order?

SHOWBOY said -- ""SumonC, you probably have nothing to do? who cares someone name starts with "f..." "d..." or "b..." what is the difference? why do you care? We are more interested what was your damn problem with exoticphone.com. """ and """In fact, you fake screen name SumonC""

how come a nick in a website can be fake? i didnt put my full name because i dont want to -thats it. is there any rule that i have to put my first and last name as a nick? yes it was very silly that i talked about the nick TERRYCHODA. but u r also commenting about my nick for nothing. wats wrong in my nick and how it is fake? i can have hundred differnt nicks in differnt places. cant i? but in the same site i am not using more than one nick like u. this resellerratings is a very reputable site. why should u take a nick like TERRYCHODA that means in bangla a very very bad meaning? and SHOWBOY if TERRYCHODA dont complain why u r complaing? r u and TERRYCHODA and MR JAY or mr JAHID all same guy?

SHOWBOY --"We are more interested what was your damn problem with exoticphone.com" --------- yes this forum's subject was 'Watch out from exoticphone.com They are a perfect scam artist' -- BUT u guys started talking about mr JAY / BILL.. didnt u? who wanted to know about them? so u started it and i finished. people can say CircuitCity is a good company and their customer service is very good. but if any1 start saying again and again that MIKE the manager of BESTBUY in NY is a very good guy, best guy, nicest guy and so on ----- then is that very weird for us to become suspicious that MR MIKE is doing his own advertisement?

u called me IMMIGRANT ... yes i am ... illigal immigrant. so? but i am proud of my country. india can be a poor country but we dont chnage our nick from SUMON to SAM... like u do from JAHID --> JAY.

ok now i wanna give a proof against u SHOWBOY and MR JAY or JAHID ... yes phonefon nick in cnet its me.. and i open that nick only to leave a review against u. i never had such a bad experience in my life in usa that u exoticphone gave me. ok here is the proof-----

In reply to: Horrible Experience from EXOTICPHONE.com by phonefon
quite a controversary going on around this company at the moment. It's amusing (and maybe informative) to google for them.

Two rather contradictory results for that:
- http://www.gsmarena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=116737 is exactly the same very positive post by mike2000/showboy1/jahid as he posted here (just above) from exactly 1 week ago
- a extremely negative review, posted 2 days ago on http://www.thethingsiwant.com/shopping/SiteReviews.php4

This last post, by the way, identifies jahid as mie thompson in a post on the same site 4 days before (saying that the company "has good people").

MODERATORS now please decide whom u gonna ban. SHOWBOY told me i am a professional advertiser paid 5/hour. if u think he is right ban me and i have no complain. but if u think someone from exoticphone is doing their own advertise using differnet nicks in this forum please ban them. if they can cheat with people like this what kind of customer service u can expect from them? i made a mistake by purchasing a product from them and i got a good lesson. i dont want any1 else suffer like me.

Thanks

BLAH BLAH BLAH!!
ANY fool can tell that these "positive posts" are a HUGE SCAM!!! These are all coincidently first time posts for exoticphone... Hmmm, how suspicious! But what I love the most is this quote

"Anyone who have visited their location knows their place is located in one of the most prestigious place in the entire world" HAHAHA!!!
I use to go to school in that area (FIT 28th and 7th) and I'm currently working not too far form there either. That area consists of bootleg merchandise and hustlers trying to sell their fake goods! What PRESTIGE, maybe among hustlers!!

What a great way to shoot yourself in the foot showboy!

Well, i do have experience purchasing from exoticphone.com. I ordered a Nokia N95 Deep Plum from them, everything was fine but the only problem that I had is with the shipping. I ordered for 2nd Day Air and it arrived after 5 business days and whenever I called them they said that it actually takes 24-48 hours for an Order to be processed. Then why the hell you guyz charged me for $35????? Anyways finally the package arrived and everything was fine inside. I'm pleased with the phone but not pleased with their shipping at all.

Rx-8 is banned because he shares the same IP as several fraudulent review attempts that have been submitted on - and removed from before activation - exoticphone's reviews.

Also, the glowing posts for this store on this thread originate from the same or similar NY / east.verizon.net host but the IP pool is too large to identify and/or match specific users as it is probably servicing a few hundred thousand connections, thus I have no conclusive proof to remove those posts at this time.

Thanks to Lara RR and resellerratings staffs

Thats really impressive how u guys r working against fraudulent reviews. Before the scammers from exoticphone was stupid and now they become lil smart.

Rx-8 --- I'm pleased with the phone but not pleased with their shipping at all. ------ wat a try to make it reliable.

Any way-- all the credits go to Lara RR for the quick action and by banning that scammer. This kind of fraud advertisement can mislead us and help the scammers to cheat with more people. I know its hard to catch all this scammers cause they r getting moreee smart day by day. But as a new member here i am really pleased that staffs in resellerratings r trying their best to stop them and save us from the scammers.

Salute to LARA and all the staffs in resellerratings
