The phone produced by Apple is recognized as the most popular in the world. And we are already used to it. Everyone is waiting for the new iPhone to come out, everyone knows that this is one of the best mobile devices that is on the market, and in many countries iPhones are a sign of we alth and success. Sometimes we even want to play a prank on the people who use this device to point out their desire to stand out in this way. However, be that as it may, we all know that there is such a smartphone.

Due to its popularity and attractiveness in the eyes of some people, "apple" devices often become a gift, encouragement or prize. Sometimes they even make discounts, thus increasing sales of the device.

We will talk about one of these promotions in this article. Conducted her online store SAS. The reviews of hundreds of people on different sites prove that the action has gained a wide resonance in society, due to which the organizers have enriched themselves on it. In order to prevent such a scam in the future and convince people that they need to think with their heads before trusting their money, in this article we will tell the story of this scam.

Promotions on iPhone

As noted above,Apple smartphones are often subject to discounts. Well, it just so happens that they are always in high enough demand, so stores, taking advantage of this, generate sales for themselves, dropping the price of the iPhone a little more than competitors. These promotions are usually carried out according to some special scheme or in limited quantities, for example, a discount is provided in exchange for an old smartphone or the promotion is valid for only one day.

The story that we will tell readers about in this article is an example of a slightly different approach. The action, according to which it was possible to purchase a cheap iPhone, was organized by the SAS store. People's reviews show that earlier this resource was not so well known, and it gained its popularity solely due to the "hot" prices for its iPhones. It was at a lower cost.

Buy cheaper

The object of the action was the new iPhone 6, which was released in the fall. Before the company demonstrated the device at the conference, an extraordinary hype arose around the model - all the fans held their breath and waited for what the device would turn out to be. Then there was a demonstration, and pre-orders for the novelty began.

Here the "hero" of our article played its role - the SAS store. The reviews show that the buyer was offered 6th generation iPhones at a price of 20 thousand rubles, which were supposed to arrive in our country about 7 days after the debut in the USA. This price, of course, turned out to be too low, since in other stores the phone cost about 45 thousand. And, in truth, buy it in the firstthe days after the debut would have been difficult due to queues at the Apple Store across America. This, apparently, was played by the SAS store. Feedback indicated that people were extremely eager to get a new generation device, and even at such a low price.

SAS Store

You ask, what's the big deal if the store offered a good discount? Perhaps its organizers were going to conduct a regular marketing campaign, get into the field of attention of buyers, and then raise prices and work like other similar services? And the thing is that the SAS company (reviews confirm this) worked on an advance payment basis. Thus, those who wanted to get their cheap phone after the presentation had to pay the same 20 thousand rubles for it even earlier.

Perhaps the buyers understood the riskiness of the whole scheme, but hoped for the openness of the company's contact details and its advertising. After all, you must admit, if you make an advance payment in a store, information about which periodically appeared on TV, you have a lot of reasons to trust, given the unique opportunity to pick up an “apple” unit for such a small amount. And so it happened. According to statistics, the store has collected several thousand pre-orders in just a couple of months of its "preliminary" work.

And the people who handed over the money were quietly waiting for a signal to start issuing new phones. But he didn't.

Legend

Another point to be clarified first is history. After all, no store canannounce: we sell goods at a discount of 50%! There must be a beautiful story explaining why the iPhone can be sold for 20 thousand in some SAS store. Feedback from those who entrusted their funds to this service testifies to the presence of the following legend.

So, there are really cheap Apple devices that cost $100. There are even free iPhones of previous generations that anyone can get. The only limitation is a binding contract. The cost of using it is equal to two years with monthly payments of 20-30 dollars. Due to this, it turns out that a person will have to pay for communication as much as a new phone without a contract costs (the so-called Unblocked version). So the price will end up being paid the same. Only the user is provided with communication services for a couple of years, which is beneficial in itself.

What is this information for? To what they wrote on their website SAS.ru! Reviews show that this store claimed that they allegedly buy Locked versions of iPhones at a price of 100-200 dollars, after which they unlock them and bring them to our country. Thus, the phones are allegedly fully operational, and their cost is almost three times lower. It looks beautiful - the average user can easily believe it. Well, in vain.

A bit of theory

To understand how much an iPhone is really worth, just look at the price of other sellers. You will see that all stores have a certain bar, below which no one will reduce the cost. This is the line below which no one will sell you anything. In the case of SAS (we will give reviews about it below), this is 20 thousand rubles - a price that simply cannot be in nature. Why? See for yourself.

Of course, you can buy a device tied to a specific operator under a contract. But this can be done by a person who has the data of his insurance and social card. That is, it is impossible to come from Russia and say “Give me 100 iPhone 6” - the company strictly monitors how “contract” models are treated. It is possible to buy one or two models, but it is impossible to organize such a mass purchase, which was discussed in the store. This is the first.

Secondly, unbinding is an additional cost that should have been invested in the cost of the phone. You can’t just “untie” a smartphone and make it work with all operators. Jailbreak, which is carried out using a special chip, will cost several tens of dollars (at best). Yes, and the functionality of such a phone may be limited in order to sell it in a store in large quantities.

Therefore, this is all false information, on the basis of which clients were attracted to SAS.ru. Reviews show that not all buyers were aware of this, so the scam was a success.

Popularity

Back to the fact that iPhones are popular. Yes, this is indeed an indisputable fact - everyone is following the model, waiting for its release, expecting to be the first to purchase it. And imagine how popular iPhones are, which cost 50 percentcheaper!

After all, it's so profitable to buy a novelty in the SAS store at such a low price! iPhone (reviews can confirm this) has not yet been offered so cheaply! And after all, what is most interesting is that the company had a network of offices, its own legal addresses, telephone numbers and official representatives who were ready to communicate with customers at any time. Due to this, doubts that this is a fake were dispelled by themselves. And thus, the store became more famous. People made an advance payment, and the organizers had additional capital for new advertising investments.

Advertising and reviews

For example, commercials about the store were shown on television. They talked about an offer with cheap iPhones that sells SAS (online store).

Reviews about him on various services throughout the network began to appear even faster - apparently, this was also an organized and paid action with the involvement of the authors who wrote them. People claimed that the store is reliable enough, will fulfill its promises and provide devices for half the price.

It even got to the point that the famous TV presenter Ksenia Borodina mentioned the store on social networks with the hope that it was real and efficient. Naturally, all this only increased the number of people "invested" in the iPhone.

Further developments

How did the situation develop further? In fact, nothing of the sort happened. Until the release of the iPhone 6, doubts constantly appeared on the Internet about the honesty of the shop, after which they tried their bestdebunk. When the phone was released for sale, the first reviews of happy device owners appeared. No one knows if these were the real people that the organizers delivered their phones to in the first place, or the same commentators working for money. But information about the veracity of the store strengthened the faith of further buyers. Only in vain. Of course, the participants in this whole scam did not see any cheap iPhones, and the management simply disappeared with the money, without even renewing the hosting of the SAS site. The online store reviews with praise, of course, did not justify; and the depositors' money disappeared in an unknown direction.

Punishment

Later, the media reported that a few weeks later the director of the store, a certain resident of Moscow aged 60, was detained. However, the question arises: what was this person who stole millions of rubles (and, according to some estimates, even dollars) doing where, obviously, he would have been quickly found and “closed”? Therefore, for example, on the website of the SAS store (Krasnodar), customer reviews put forward a version that a figurehead was detained, which has nothing to do with the stolen millions.

Grand total

As a result, no one returned the money in the amount of 20 thousand rubles paid for each unit of the product by gullible buyers. As it turned out, the SAS store is nothing more than a simple pyramid scheme, which consisted in making deposits and then stealing them by the organizers of the entire system. Yes, this is the same MMM, only based on the desire to get a cheap iPhone.

Same product

Also, as a result of history, we can recall the reputation of one company that manufactures SAS boilers. The reviews left by deceived SAS store contributors are now confused with the name of this product in search engines, due to which, quite possibly, the company's revenues have fallen. Therefore, in order to restore this cruel injustice, it must be mentioned. The manufacturer of heating systems has nothing to do with the store with iPhones! About SAS UWG boilers, reviews are mostly positive.

How to find reviews?

In general, if you suddenly come across such a dubious scheme in the future, you should rely on reviews the least. It's one thing - if the store offered cheap phones all the time, and quite another - when a single date was chosen - the release time of the sixth generation device, due to which there were no negative reviews about it. But now, if anyone wants to know about SAS solid fuel boilers reviews, they will stumble upon recommendations about the fraudulent actions of the site with phones. But the products could be of high quality!

How not to fall for the bait in the future?

In stories like this, reviews don't help much. Think with your head. Well, even if Chinese suppliers sell iPhones at the same price as on the official website - for 700-800 dollars and more, why don't they set the price at 20 thousand rubles, as SAS did? So, not everything is so simple! Otherwise, someone would have thought of this before.

As a last resort, read about what Unlocked models are and what are the conditionspurchasing a phone with a contract at a low price. Much will become clear. And about SAS UWT boilers, the reviews, let's hope, will not worsen due to scammers with iPhones.
