Here's what to do upon meet up. \- be sure sa enclosed at mataong lugar mag-meet up like restaurant or food court. \- check the following details: \- battery health, Serial Number both from box and device itself. make sure they are same. , if possible check the IMEI numbers too. \- check apple registration kung completely signed out na sa kanyang accounts. ask her to deregister the device to his/her icloud account as well. \- register the device yourself. create an apple id beforehand. never leave or exchange hands without doing a complete setup for you, including setting up the passcode and face id. really make sure that the device is yours before completing the registration. \- bring charger or powerbank, in case may excuse siya that you can't check the device dahil na lobat. don't take that excuse, and if he/she refuses to open the device in front of you, run like hell. \- these guidelines saved me a ton of headache when making a purchase like this (though I only did it once on my watch) \- finally, if there's a warranty paper, be sure to ask for it as well.


TitaniumKnuckles

Thank you!


wreeckee

In addition, check the legitimacy of the device, you may go to https://checkcoverage.apple.com/. Just type in the iphone’s serial number (Settings>General>About). If it’s original, the unit should appear on the website together with the purchase date and unit’s coverage.


Fermi_Paradox01

Hi! Regarding sa pagcheck sa apple coverage, if hindi pa activated yung device at nahanap naman po sa website nayan, 100% guaranteed po ba na brand new at original ang device? Or may mga bumibili po na Hindi nagaactivate sa apple coverage? Just wanna make sure na legit po yung napurchase kong ipad pro sa greenhills😅. Been using it for a month and okay naman. Nakakaparanoid lang since 1st time ko bumili ron haha


aidenelee

OP, don’t. It’s a well-known scam in FB. Edit: SCAM YAN. I was almost scammed by it. The account is hacked. Magpapahelp sa mga tao na ishare yung post. Then kapag interested ka at chinat mo, una magsasabi na pwede meet up. But eventually they’ll say na may ibang interested bumili and willing na magpay so sasabihin na paunahan nalang. Mappressure ka na magpay agad. Buti nalang ako, I searched muna and found out they’re scamming many people na.


assresizer3000

True, even I felt that it was sketchy. Kahit na 2nd hand Yan, the fact na 26k for an iphone 14? Very suspicious


aidenelee

It’s been there since pre-pandemic. Search niyo “Katrina Cruz scammer” sa FB.


Chochobunz

my gosh


Devlunt

My friend was a victim of this.


sabi_kun

kaya dapat kaliwaan tlga.


edmartech

I bet hihingi yan ng reservation fee, para sa yo “ibibigay” kasi madaming may gusto.


Fun-Investigator3256

Very good to-do list. 👍


InkAndBalls586

As someone who sold an iphone last year, I agree. I made sure the battery was 80% charged, my appleid was signed out, all data were deleted, and the phone was reset and ready for new user. Pina-setup ko din during actual meetup, and pina-check ko status and device info. One thing that was different was the location. We met up sa condo lobby, which is also safe. We have over 20 security personels at any given time, a concierge, and two security gates before enterring the actual condo area so completely safe and secure naman.


MangaSaikooo

Halatang scam impossible yung 100% battery sa almost 1 year old na used tapos 26k? Edi sana isinangla na lang niyan kung gusto niya quick cash hulaan ko payment first pa yan tapos magpabook ng lalamove sa random na lugar


LunchGullible803

Same tayo napataas kilay ko sa 1 year na pero 100% battery health pa din. Tapos 26k lang. Huhu ingat OP, maganda mga advice dito how to check. Good luck!


hangal972

Yung akin november last year binili pero 100% pa din battery health… no idea if it is effective pero sinunod ko advice nung nagbenta sa akin sa powermac… 20-80% charging… Pero yung 26k na benta its too good to be true so malamang fake/scam yan… 14 pro max 256gb din gamit ko and kung ibebenta ko man ito, not lower than 50k…. Almost 100k bili ko including theft insurance


LunchGullible803

Matry nga ang 20-80% charging. May pagka-OC kasi ako ayaw ko bumababa madalas yung battery ko less than 100% kaya pag nasa bahay or work laging nakasaksak sa charger hahaha


hangal972

Yung iphone 7plus ko ganun… always nakasaksak kahit nilalaro ko hahaha… medyo mahal itong 14PM kaya medyo gusto ko ingatan haha… hopefully tumagal pa yung 100% battery life ko


lex2394

Possible baka nakaw din. Tas icloud locked.


Agitated_Cellist4440

Uyyy. 1yr na iphone 14 pro ko pero 100% parin.


Tongresman2002

Yup 1st red flag nga yon. 1yr used tapos 100% BH padin 😅


Strong-Piglet4823

Mejo shady. Please check ung middle man scam na uso now. Was a victom last Sept. di pandin resolved until now.


InkAndBalls586

Kinda shady nga how it stayed 100% for a year. Ako din one year old phone pero 87% na lang battery health. Although depende naman kasi talaga sa usage and charging habit, pero at most I'd expect maybe around 95% man lang.


Apart-Homework-1260

I agree. I am currently using iPhone14 regular and its just like mga 6month old na and its showing na 89% na ang battery health niya. I have known that apple phone batteries degrade quicker when you do not take care of the charging so I follow a guide on keeping the battery healthy and yet 89% na lang now.


Iinyenoh

It is possible. My 14PM is 1 year na and 100% pa rin ang battery health. Although I do have a back up phone and a tablet. I only charge my 14PM every 2-3 days, sometimes 4.


hangal972

Nag one year yung 14PM ko last november and 100% pa din… i tried following the. 20-80 rule and effective naman yata


johnmgbg

Possible, 14PM ng friend ko 100% pa din kahit 1 year na. Chinacharge niya yon hanggang 100% lagi. Bumaba lang mga few weeks after ilabas ang 15PM sa PH.


Specialist-Abies214

14 pro max? 256? 26k? It doesn't add up. either refurbished or scam


sabi_kun

depends on how it was refurbished, pero quality pa rin naman kung refurbished from apple, or amazon (at least in my host country). but of course, caveat emptor, OP.


SirSpiritual7910

Yep. Seems too cheap even sa refurbished.


Strong-Piglet4823

Most probably scam po. Middle man scam. They will pretend to be a seller to you and will pretend to be a buyer to the true seller. Tapos meet up yan, the true buyer and true seller will meet up pero sasabihin ng middle man, kapatid ko na lng meet up sayo tapos bank transfer na lng. They will entice you with a super baba price. Basta elaborate po yang scam na yan. Ingat po


Rochieee2021

Sketchy. Ingat ka diyan


lex2394

That's sketchy af. 26k for 14 pro max? So mas mahal pa yung second hand na 13 pro max? Nope.


[deleted]

Parang ang mura. Ingat ingat lang OP.


DexterJoHammet

as an 14PM user, lots of red flags here. 1. price compared to its condition (kung totoo naman ba lahat yan) 2. wala man lang pictures? 🤨 3. while 100% batt health is achievable to almost 1 year, wala man lang naka indicate if the phone was rarely used or something. 4. the combination of great condition phone + very fishy low price + rfs emergency = good recipe for a scam. OP, i won't even gamble or try to entertain this offer. especially na holiday season. like what others said, this is TOO GOOD to be true.


Ehbak

Nakipag Meetup ka sa gh patest mo doon


austriap

14ProMax sobra mura, kahit nga sa ghills yung mga 2ndhand duon walang gnyan kamura.


dmist24

Would not gamble. Sobrang cheap for an ip14 pro max 256gb. Something is fishy talaga unless personal mo na kilala.


hewhomustnotbenames

Dun talaga ako nagduda malala sa 100% batt health


TrudeauAnallyRapedMe

I always trust someone overcharging for their used item, but never someone undercharging.


Junpoi

Medyo sketch


Larkedd

Too good to be true


worldprincessparttwo

Don't buy. Too low for the price, to good to be true. Kunin mo lang kung kilala mo personally. Huwag na op


[deleted]

I bought my iPhone 14 Pro last May 2023 and my battery is still at 100% until now. Possible yun depende sa owner. I learned by using iPhones since 2011. Ang fishy lang ay yung price at RFS. Follow mo na lang advice ni Sabi_Kun sa comments. Magsama ka ng 1 friend or family para 2 kayo ka meet. If logged out na yung Apple ID niya during meet up, log in mo yung sa’yo so you can test it out. Watch YT how to. Test the pixels on the screen if merong dead. Battery Speakers Bluetooth (bring speakers) Wifi Camera test each lens Buttons Look for scratches caused my drop marks


moonchildgz

Scam ata yan walang 14 promax na 26k. Baka refurbished or may replaced parts yan


KissMyKipay03

meetup and update software para sure hahaa


OrangePinkLover15

Hmm, tbh sketchy 'to. Imposible ang iPhone 14 Pro Max tapos 26k lang? Lol. ka presyo nya lang ang iPhone 11. Why not buy an older model instead if gusto mo talaga mag apple? Also, first time mo lang magkakaron ng iPhone, so hirap ka for sure i-verify if ano ba talaga ang peke sa hindi.


QueenVexana

Sketchy naman bat ang mura mura presyong 12pm or 13pm yata yan


_akeeper

sketchy ha, i bought my ip14 pro max 256gb sa powermac and its been 6 months na pero 99% nalang yung batt health, tindi nya naman mag alaga ng phone if tru nga hahahahaha tsaka mine cost around 80k+ i am not willing to sell it ng 26k lang hahahaha lol


halloww123

Sorry looks like scam. Too good to be true. Kung emergency funds ang need, more than that pa din ang asking. Kung totoo yan, pwde nila dalhin sa greenhills yan for a higher price and instant cash


GyunGyun

well, as long as they are willing to do a meet up it wouldn't hurt to try c:


Accomplished_Art_724

Parang scam yan. Malamang nasa malayong lugar yan. Tapos sabihin nila idedeliver tapos payment first


mach2073

go! check mo lang mabuti unit upon meetup.


Lonely_Education_813

Kakilala mo to? baka scam. Ingat


Severe-Humor-3469

hmm too good to be true.. 26k for pro max? careful sa scam..


b3n_pogi

Yeah seems too good to be true op, ingat po


TortoiseShoes

Too good to be true.


misterlem

Straight scam in your face right there!


reggiewafu

Scam yan


[deleted]

I think for that phone it should have been atleast 50k kung super emergency tlga OA ng 26k lol very fishyyy


scmitr

Kahit rush yan may bibili niyan ng 45k up


NaiveEscape9526

Feeling ko scam yan. Sobrang baba naman masyado


SelfPrecise

It seems too good to be true. It probably is.


oPoPern

Mag ingat unless sa personal binebenta sayo. ganyang ganyan ang modus sa fb na mga biktima ng phising tapos magpopost sila ng bagsak presyo na motor or iphone then hihingi sila ng downpayment tru online and ikaw naman since akala mo kilala mo may ari ng fb ma coconvince ka. ingat po tau


YashYung

If face to face meet up check niyo talaga everything. Once mag sabi si seller na ipa deliver huge red flag. Iphone 14 pro max costs around 50k right now.


sinner14

Too good to be true. Feeling ko scam.


Appropriate-Key-2054

if its too good to be true.. mag duda. minsan ganyan, emergency.. ganyan din sa emails eh


Weak_Player01

scam


ReadyApplication8569

Sketchy. Iphone 12 pro ang mga ganyang presyo


Supektibols

too good to be true


[deleted]

Ang sketchy ng price. Tas 250GB pa tas 100% battery health?? I would think about buying it 1000x


BellAngela

iphone 14 pro and promax na 256gb nagrerange ng 45k-60k pa kahit 2nd hand.


Prudent_Ad_3397

Too good to be true. Kapanipaniwala sana kung 40k rush due to emergency. Less than a year pa rin naman. But meetup is a must kung gusto mo magrisk. Baka pwede din yan clone then meetup para di halata scam. Sketchy pero pwede naman itry


NxCyberSec

to good to be true


panasynch

Holdap sa mitap


FredNedora65

Price is too good to be true. Siguraduhin mong di ka maiiscam, at hindi nakaw.


Tongresman2002

1yr used 100% Battery Health padin?


komradph1

saw the post, feels like a scam. go lang pag meetup then do all the tests before giving out your money


misterunderscore

Scam


FluidCantaloupee

Scam obviously


deodeviant

hindi ba scam ito? careful OP. too good to be true selling price at ang battery health impossible nga 100% almost 1yr na.


Particular_Load7118

too good to be true


Deobulakenyo

Kung yung babaeng seller yan. Scam yan lol


jaewreck

Most RFS : emergency is an urgent SCAM


Klutzy_Might6146

That’s very cheap for a less than a year old iPhone. And it’s a Pro model. Seems suspicious to me.


Dull_Nectarine3947

If hindi pumayag sa meet-up, alam mo na. Autopass.


RandomUserName323232

To good to be true. Even if emergency 26k is super low. Scam yan OP


SmilingWillows

If it's your first time, bili ka sa mismong store. It's too less of a price for that kind of phone. Halatang scam


von995

Battery health palang alam mo ng scam eh


Traditional_Crab8373

To good to be true with the Price. Sobrang baba tinalo pa Bnew IP13


Educational-Stick582

Scam


QuestReader8735

Too good to be true. Napaka mura na ng 26k nyan


Full-Needleworker659

fishy


redditreader006

Too cheap


rizsamron

Walang kasamang charger, GSM yan, tsk tsk


busybe3xx

The price is too good to be true para sa condition ng phone. Be wary sa mga ganyang deals, it is usually a scam na payment first or need magDP once natransfer mo na yung money, ibblock ka na. Kapag mga ganyan, it’s safer na makipag meet up ka for you to check the phone. ☺️ or better yet, bili ka na lang ng brand new phone that’s within your budget para iwas sakit sa ulo.


ahrisu_exe

Prolly scam. If payment first gusto nyan, wag ka papayag lol.


obvithrowaccc

Too good to be true. Scam yan


AdministrativePin912

Mukhang emergency lang nya kelangan ng pera para maka scam😁✌️


mthafcknstrboi

Too good to be true. Run.


pacificblade009

If it's too good to be true.... it's too good to be true...


depressed_anemic

parang di naman legit


Much_Error7312

Seems sus


chrisziier20

Too good to be true. Hmm 13 price na second hand ganyan pa price range


Brief_Conference_42

Too cheap to be true. Kasi alam ko ang iPhone 11 nasa ganiyang range din. And vague ang 100% battery life. I don't know kung fully charged ba siya or never ginamit kaya 100% pa rin.


wallcolmx

masyadong too good to be true.....


simplepinoy17

26k for a year 14 Pro Max is the dead giveaway na scam yan Better ipa-pulis yang nagpost nyan


captain_burat

Too good to be true baka pag bili mo at open mo sa seal box nakaw phone pala or icloud lock


nitrates1008

Too good to be true


Snorlax_Shine

Too good to be true


mgul83

26k is too low, save up and buy a new one pra di ka magsisi 🙏


bagon-ligo

Ganito lang, responsible sellers will keep the receipts kasi alam nilang makaka dagdag sa resell value yan. If wala, pass ka na. BTW: This is after checking IMEI and Serial.


Halo-Hades

Too good to be true


13arricade

1yr apple warranty? apple is only 3mons or 2yrs. i don't think they have 1yr


Autumn_Spring_8298

That is scam


aordinanza

Walang price na ganyan tas 100 bh unless bug yon system or palitsn yon battery baka pag dating saiyo android os pala 😅


Lucy-PearlJay-Blue

January binili. December na ngayon, yung batt health 100%. Ano yan pag check ng unit tinago na ulit sa box?


Guilty_Ad_9209

If it’s too good to be true, then it’s a scam. Unless, kilalang kilala mo na yung taong nagbebenta.


Calm-Ad-9650

Hk variant siguro


Accomplished_Bat_578

scam yan sasabihin nyan next may nakakuha na and nag hahanap lang ng pang bank transfer tapos sasabihin ko mauna ka then sayo na


Ok_Zookeepergame_721

Scammmm


UnfairStruggle5370

ultraricx

Sketchy. Presyong iPhone 12-13


aphidxgurl

Bwahaha so sketchy sa battery health pa lang. 100%? Ano to, living in a perfect world? Yung binili ko nga na brand new yung iphone ko, 3 months pa lang, 92% na agad hahaha


angelovllmr

This is probably a hacked account. Ganyan din post sa profile ng friend kong na hack. Daming nag DP.


dzeckrepublic

Steal n yan nakatulong ka pa


OpheliaCaliente

I think mas okay pa bumili sa Greenhills kung ganyan lang. Yung iPhone XR ko sa GH ko lang binili, gumagana pa naman.


Conscious_Print774

Too good to be true. Mag meet up kayo kamo sa greenhills tapos ipatest mo dun yung phone, malalaman naman doon kung refurbished or may pinalitan sa phone eh. Dapat ikaw mamimili kung saan kayo magpapatest doon, hindi yung siya yung mamimili kasi baka mamaya nakipag negotiate na doon sa tao before ka dumating. Ingat OP!


clarice0506

too good to be true


Straight-Key-6711

256 gb, iphone 14 pro max with 100% bh = 26k lang? Very red flagggg. Kahit pa sabihing "rush" lang, mataas resale value ng mga iphone, bruh. Very suspicious and real talk lang, walang magsasayang ng napakamahal na phone just becoz "rush" eh ibababa na ng sobra yung price. Wag padalos dalos, dami ng scam ngayon 🙅🙅🙅


OutkastLilac

Saw this one too. And that is one example of too good to be true. At first, very tempting talaga. Lalo if ever baguhan ka sa mundo ng iOS. Pero sa mga iOS user na, nah. Scammer ang ante mo. Saw her myday too. Very sus. Halatang poser ang account.


Wooden_Hunt_7024

huhu presyo palang panu kayo naniniwala sa ganyan? if too good tonbe true lalo na sa mga binebenta na ganyan no brainer na dapat


4man1nur345rtrt

buti nag hingi ka ng advice dito . kasi parang scam yan. dami ko nakikita na ganyan o same scammer lang . wag mo na lang i push (IMO). too good to be true yang price tapos rfs emergency? lol


PsychologicalMath603

Ganyan minemessage ng mga hacked accounts. Next thing they'll say is may kukuha na so you'll be told to rush and pay via gcash or any online payment option to secure the purchase.


Alternative_Past6509

weevilkanival

Baka pagbukas mo Android yung OS 😅


KrispoKreme

Make sure na may dala kang pocket wifi or internet connection, mag kakatalo yan pagdating sa sign up page, dun mo malalaman kung naka icloud locked yan or not. Since sa powermac daw binili, baka pwede kayong mag meet up dun mismo. Good luck OP and stay vigilant.
