    There isn’t a phone. They’re just photoshopping other phones into photoshops of gold cases.

    There isn’t a phone. All there is, is a grift.

      It is a phone. They’re just getting shitty phones and golding them up, but they do exist. I’m sure some guy bought one of the early incarnations and took it apart to show how shit it was. Now they use a different cheap phone.

      Still a scam, of course.

      100% this. It’s a scam. It’s merely a device of getting scammed, so the details of the scam instrument are not important.

        Also worth noting: the people they’re scamming don’t know a Galaxy from an iPhone, let alone a Galaxy from one photoshopped with a gold back and T1 on it.

        I don’t think they care, either. If they know it’s a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and they’re being charged double for one but it has a Trump case and they think buying it will fund violence against dark skinned/LGBTQ+ people, they’re not really being scammed. They’re putting their money where their mouth is.
