Oh come on people, stop giving these folk your money!!
[Samsung Gear S3] HDCowboy:
Seems a lot of these folks don't have a clue as to what they bought until they come here, if Facebook ect. wouldn't advertise this garbage (especially after being informed about what kind of garbage it is) people wouldn't be buying this crap!!! Sad to say but it seems all Facebook ect. is concerned about is profit from advertising revenue and they could care less about folks getting ripped off!!

S3 Frontier scam... Bait and switch?

Hi all, I'm brand new to XDA, and I'm just a consumer so far. So please let me know if I'm going out of bounds. I want to let everyone who might be interested know about my experience with a site called Sterdio.com. They appear to be based in Hong Kong. They are advertising Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (and other high end smart watches) for WAY under retail prices. In my reading online I have run across at least two other sites doing the same thing, but since my experience was with Sterdio, I'll stick to that. I am pasting a report I wrote for the BBB:

I paid $49.79, for a Samsung S3 Frontier smart watch, as portrayed and described by Sterdio on their website in detail (they claim to be selling genuine, legitimate Samsung Gear S3 Frontier smart watches, valued at well over $200US, for $45 - 50). I was not told there would be any substitution, nor was I given an opportunity to refuse to to accept an inferior product. Therefore, I assumed I would be receiving the product they had promised.

When I received the ($12-15 value) plastic smart watch Sterdio sent to me, I immediately contacted them to let them know about what I believed must be a mixup. After several emails back and forth, it became obvious to me that they had no intention of remedying the situation, despite the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" statement on their website.

I am not happy about my own encounter with Sterdio.com. Though I did receive a watch, it was NOT one I would have EVER chosen...and even if I HAD, I would have paid much less for it. But the $50 it cost me, while painful, is not my last savings. There are likely many, many people who are being swindled by this company, and I believe I have a duty to try to help those folks by spreading the truth about this company's criminal practices.

I hope this might help others avoid making the same mistake I made. To be sure, I was gambling when I bought it. Caveat Emptor. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Gear S3] arkayel:
Similar experience, but what about the "Enablers / Co-conspirators"?

My (sad) story is similar except that I purchased from Nancystore.us (now disabled) and they appeared to only sell the Radiance A3 Frontier Smartwatch. While they did employ what appeared to be Samsung S3 videos to describe their product, they did not purport that it was at all related to Samsung.

I have finally (just) received a refund from PayPal but not before having to spend inordinate amounts of time on the phone (maybe 5 -10 hours cumulatively) explaining my situation. It is my sense that PayPal drags their feet at investigating any disputes. It is almost as if they deliberately delay so as to frustrate purchasers into giving up their dispute because "it just isn't worth the effort". I finally got a favorable decision after providing PayPal with an email from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which asserted that my seller was a known counterfeit seller.

My big complaint is that given the number of disputes that Paypal must have received from folks like us, why do they continue to insist on "assessing" each dispute on its individual circumstances rather than accept that something fraudulent is occurring and so make a sweeping decision in favor of all of the victims that file disputes. At best, PayPal is an enabler of this fraud, and at worst, it is a Co-conspirator. (BTW, my contact at the RCMP advises that VISA and MasterCard provide superior consumer protection against fraud than does PayPal). The same can be said for Facebook where the ads are placed. Once a medium is aware of false advertising amongst their clients, do they not have a responsibility to their audience to discontinue those (misleading / fraudulent) ads? Again, enabler or co-conspirator?!

[Samsung Gear S3] helmsdeep1469:
did you guys ever receive your watches? I know I'm kind of too late for this thread. I ordered mine back in the beginning of August and never got any confirmation after 2 weeks. I keep emailing them after that like their website stated to contact them if the status have not been updated in 2-3 weeks. Tracking still says unfulfilled. I contacted them numerous times and never got any response back from them or any kind of notification or at least could have told me that I got screwed. I complained to Paypal and they waited for the seller to respond I think for 7 days and before you know it, paypal told me that they're going to reverse the sale back to me and that seller never responded back. This is the second time I try to purchased this watch from two different website and I think they're the same owner just different names.
[Samsung Gear S3] Edkov:
Finally PayPal refund !

After many e-mails back and forth I got my money $49,99 and shipping costs $21 (to send the Crappy Watch back to f**ing China ) refunded from Paypal.

The Guy from Paypal said that he also almost himself ordered at Nancystore.us , but then he saw all the claims coming in and he was warned.

He told me that mr.Linrong is now finally banned from Paypal .

Thank God I payed with Paypal and not directly with Visa.

I will never order something that seems to good to be true again !!!
[Samsung Gear S3] CybexRain:
Its a scam. The watch that arrives is total rubbish. Yes PayPal will refund your money, but only if you send the watch back to china with a shipping note. This is what the company in China has to do before you get a refund: Dear customer, please upload the correct shipping number, we will refund you after receiving the item, thank you., Shenzhen, GUANGDONG Province 518000 China. So, in other words if the company in China does inform PayPal that they received the item back you won't receive a refund and they have their ****e watch back. Loose/ Loose. SCAM!
[Samsung Gear S3] leongsem:
luckily I check here 1st else I will be caught again
[Samsung Gear S3] Edkov:
I have sent the package back with Bpost Belgium and with tracking number and signature €18,41 , fully refunded by paypal and the $49,99 that I payed to Mr.lIn Jinrong also Paypal refunded ,

even though the package is not yet collected by mr. Jinrong in China.

[Samsung Gear S3] Szczuko:
I recived my money back from PayPal.

I called to PayPal and they help me. I sent fu***ing watch from Nancystore to China from Poland VIA National post for about 4€ (17zł). After ~1 month (2 weeks way + 2 weeks checking it) PayPal sent money to my credit card.

Regars for all of you.

Never more any shopping from Facebook adds.
[Samsung Gear S3] EJE1:
Alert: the smartwatch is a cheap chinese copy of the S3

Bought one based upon the youtube clip which showes many great functions. I received a cheap chinese copy that needs a sim and a sd card to function. Has very little functions. After claiming the issue they mentioned that the received watch has certain functions and it can be used.

I feel misled by the website and I am now discussing to be reimbursed but they only want to pay a few dollars.....

Please be warned!

Just when I thought the saga was over....the P.O.S. I was told to return by Paypal before I would get the refund (which I did, including the postage), just got returned to me by the courier I sent it with back in July/August last year!

Seems they couldn't deliver the item for some reason - fake address, they did a runner with all the cash, who knows. I'm going to charge it up and bask in all it's cheap, tacky horribleness. Will wear it when I'm garden/building and see how long it lasts before it will no doubt die a very quick death :)

It was a co-worker. I just got a 55 inch 4k samsung smart tv off him for $600. Was still under warranty too.

He's like that. Buys stuff, doesn't like it and looks to pawn it off on people.

New Radiance A3 Frontier Smartwatch page?

Found a new page ? Same watch, same advertisement.

At kukowear.com
[Samsung Gear S3] Jeff in 92833:
Saw an ad for the Radiance A3 on Facebook. Did a WhoIs and the site (Anchort.com) is based in Canada, so I bought it. It's still being shipped from China and could take another 2-3 weeks, according to the email I got from a customer service rep (the ad said 7-12 days, worldwide). The latest update is that it has been delivered to an air carrier.

I wasn't worried, initially, because I bought a smartwatch for my girlfriend from OpenSky.com and it was exactly as described (not quite as capable as the advertised Radiance A3, but for proportionately less money).

I was looking forward to it, but am now concerned. I'm bookmarking this thread and will let you know what I end up getting.

The site I ordered from:

https://anchort.com/collections/electronic-products/products/luxury-led-smart-watch

Another site that showed in my Facebook Timeline today that is pretty much the same content

https://www.shopinavi.com/products/luxury-led-smart-watch
[Samsung Gear S3] Jeff in 92833:
An image search revealed that the ads for the Radiance A3 are using pictures for the Samsung Gear S3.

[Samsung Gear S3] ElNerdo:
Can you record yourself with the watch to show this to us?
[Samsung Gear S3] ClepToManix:
Hope your Order isn't from NC Technology. CO

If is it, you will receiving nothing. Same problem by my side for a month. After I got an order confirmation I heard nothing more. PayPal solved this for me and pay my money back.

Those Shopify Shops are Scam at all.

I think we all know that this is Scam, but they have to send me Something xD.

They sell earplugs that doesnt exists yet, its a Kickstarter campaign.

I mean, i get my money back but i wanna see what they send me, If they send me something xD.
[Samsung Gear S3] gourav.xda:
Has anybody actually received the watch? Can you post pics of your watch you received?

I found this on nancystore[dot]us which seem to be the original sellers of the watch.

The website seems completely fake for the following reasons:

The image used on about us page for "our team" section is actually by another company called Leadspace. They didn't even bother to change the file name. Can't send links here as I am new but you can easily search by image using reverse[dot]photos.

Claims made on about us look vague and unverifiable. Especially about the fundings from big brands.

Already pointed by many that the video is of Samsung gear s3 as is. They didn't even bother to mask the Samsung logo properly at the end of the video.

The website is powered by shopify. I have contacted their help center and have reported above points.

They will conduct the necessary investigation. However, they cant revert to me with details.

If the website goes off in some days, probably that will be an indication.

I am fine receiving a cheap replica of the Samsung gear s3 as long as I receive it and it works.

Photos and reviews from people who have received it may help a lot.

Also mention where you bought it from.
[Samsung Gear S3] kabexa:
Scammer

Yuo have one of this???
[Samsung Gear S3] gourav.xda:
No. I want to buy if it's genuine.

All things indicate this is not. Just want to know if anyone has received it actually.

There is one reply which states its slow. However, there is no description otherwise.
[Samsung Gear S3] arboy2:
I saw an ad for the Radiance A3 and it seemed really great for a Chinese device, then I realized it looks exactly like the Gear S3 Frontier.

Looking at YouTube all you can find is a trailer from 5 days ago which is a copy of the S3 Frontier trailer.

Either they are somehow selling sketchy Gear S3's or it's a complete scam, either way I'm following this thread to find out :)
[Samsung Gear S3] gourav.xda:
Can you post some pics? Apart from lag everything is proper? Looks, features?

You think this will last enough or is it delicate?

Which website did you order from and price?
[Samsung Gear S3] hvveen:
Looks like fraud

Looks like fraud to me. The app they talk about cannot be found in either the Apple or the Google store
[Samsung Gear S3] Jeenan:
Interesting...but....

When the first person gets the watch...PLEASE put some pictures and review.....they might sell a lot.....but.....:p
[Samsung Gear S3] thedirtydon:
On its way

According to the Royal Mail in the UK, they have my parcel (don't say where though) so will see what arrives. It was a bit of a risky punt and was under no illusions it might not be (very likely not) as presented, but if it turns out to be a total dud, I'll be onto Paypal.
[Samsung Gear S3] Blonti:
I ordered one - out of curiosity. If it's Android Phone/watch with rotating bezel - I'm satisfied for this price.

However: I've sent quite a few questions to the seller regarding the watch and software, but the seller did not respond. I did get tracking number though.

So, I am very suspicious about this. I have made PrintScreen of web page and saved the videos from YouTube where the name of the shop is also visible. If (:confused:) the store has misled buyers with fake images and videos, this will be used as evidence against them.

I will open dispute using buyer's protection from PayPal:

- if I don't get the watch by specific date or

- if the smartwatch is not like the one on images or videos.

Sadly I am more and more conviced that this is fake (hence, I might be wrong:eek:):

[Samsung Gear S3] bozzaj:
The watch is a scam. Here's one of the links:

https://www.magicube.shop/products/radiance-a3-frontier-smartwatch-bluetooth-50-off-today

On that page is a couple of YouTube, videos. The first video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZo2CkcLphM

If you step through the frames of this video, in the first second of the video, you see the back of the watch, in clear text:

"SAMSUNG GEAR S3 FRONTIER" and "316L STAINLESS STEEL CASE"

Every image and video on that website is taken from Samsung marketing materials. The videos are Samsung advertisements. For instance, if you look at the above references video, around the 15 second mark, then look at this one (45 second mark):

[Samsung Gear S3] Aekaeto:
I bought this from Just life, a similar store. Got a tracking number a day or 2 later which turned out to be invalid. Attempted to contact the seller through various avenues (website, confirmation email, PayPal, etc.) To get the correct track number. They never responded...but no matter, I got the watch in the mail a few weeks later.....but it wasn't the advertised watch. What I received is a $20 smartwatch that was missing most of the features advertised. No heartrate, camera, AMOLED, etc. I had to dispute through PayPal and they refunded my money a couple days later.

Of course we can't get any images. Everybody are saying that they ordered 10 days ago and nobody is commenting after they receive it.

I orderd mine and i got confirmation thet is shipped, as soon as i get i will make video to help others not make same mistake or go for it.
[Samsung Gear S3] radtech777:
I have not seen the watch we are all talking about for 15 dollars anywhere. I'm pretty sure he is not talking about the Radiance A3 from Nancystore or even the SmartWatch for Samsung from Coolgugu which are both using the Gear S3 marketing videos and pics for their phone. Minimum on that one was 49.99, no matter the vendor, and I have seen about 5 or 6 at least.

Ordered one too. Damm, late night Instagram scrooling. Saw the ad and ordered it without any investigation. In the morining I've felt my self like a child who got his candy stolen. Anyway.

[Samsung Gear S3] Tetters:
Watch

Yes a crappy watch not the watch as advertised
[Samsung Gear S3] radtech777:
Yeah, I ordered mine from Nancystore back on the 17th. Last update I had was on the 21st saying it was being processed thru a mail facility in Shenzhen. That's kinda typical for these Chinese deals from what I have read. I won't expect to see it for another week to two weeks. I'm pretty confident I'll get something, probably not what I ordered, but hopefully not too horrible. Side note, I have found at least 3 other sites with the same customer service email that Nancystore uses. I guess we live and learn. I'm hoping for a refurbished Gear S3 at best, a cheap knock-off if I'm lucky, but in all probablility a moderately functional cheap Chinese noname semi-smart watch.
