Be careful sending blocked phones to Australia!

[typhoon]

Hey everyone!

Just a warning, be careful swapping phones to Australia! They are all scanned now, and the cops are like watchin where the phones go to!

If you send one there be damn careful! because they have just installed multi million $$$ scanners!

Blacklisted usually = stolen!

I was doing a trade, and i feel fuckin rude for having to backout, but front page article in the paper said that they were scanning for stuff like that, they just seized a whole lot of snakes etc!

Anyway, just a warning! Feel free to add comments!:)

Yeah they scan the parcel, na but like when they see a dogey box comin through that they cant see through they open it up!

Well people used to wrap things in aluminium foil but after sep. 11, 2001 all that changed...

If something doesn't come out clearly in the scanner screen they just open up the parcel and check it out.

As long as the phone isn't stolen, you shouldn't be worried.

Boksic - No wonder elemenohpee didnt want to swap you man you have like 4 8310's I have been checking out some forums, although I only have a 8250, I wouldnt trade that with sumone with so many expensive phones!

And if you keep reading the thread its true, they scan pretty much EVERYTHING, it was on the front page of the paper! And if they think its something illegal - drugs, stolen gear then they can bust you bad!

If you send a blacklisted phone to Australia, and im guessing UK as well, you cant do shit, and if that guy sends it back he is crazy, wouldnt catch me doing it!
