Woman gets bad connection on phone purchases

CLAYTON — June 23: A resident in the 6000 block of Taywood Road reported she was a victim of theft by deception.

The complainant ordered five iPhones from a female subject via iOffer.com.

She spoke with the subject by phone and was assured the devices were Apple iPhones.

The complainant received five "China copies" instead. She contacted her credit card company but was told her money wouldn't be refunded because it was labeled a cash transaction.

The subject told the complainant to mark the payment as a cash advance so her PayPal account wouldn't be limited. She paid $1,425 for the five phones.
