Selling for half price Nokia warns consumers of fake handsets in Philippines
Nokia N81 8GB
Mobile phone company Nokia Philippines is warning consumers about the proliferation of fake Nokia devices being sold in the local market.
A team from the Asia Pacific region is now coordinating with local enforcement agencies to conduct an investigation on the sale of these fake products, which is likely violating the company’s brand, said Nikka Singson-Abes, corporate communications manager of Nokia Philippines Inc., in an interview with Inquirer.net.
Singson-Abes said Nokia Philippines has received reports from its Nokia centers that have been receiving fake products from customers wanting to have the units serviced.
“We’re also trying to verify reports about those being sold in popular malls and in the provinces,” she said.
The Nokia Philippines executive said the latest Nokia phone models like Nokia N81, Nokia 5310, Nokia N95, Nokia N82, Nokia 6120, were being sold at half or a third of the original price, which is an indicator that the unit might be fake.
