Luxphoneplaza.com definitely don’t like to play fair. It is quite apparent the instant you visit the website of this so-called Vertu clone selling company. They completely ripped off the lux-replica-phones.com design, although lacking many things ranging from contact information, a chat button, a translator, a currency converter, and more. Their photos are all from LRP, too. Frank Stevenson from LRP believes that they stole their photos because they might not even produce luxury mobiles at all. Frank even had a customer tell him that one of his family members got scammed by the site. Whether or not that customer was telling the truth, we don’t know. But there are many things on this site that show that they are definitely not the good guys.

If you look at LuxPhonePlaza.com’s products, you will see that each has only a single photo, all stolen from LRP. Well actually, LRP has only the main photo of each product not watermarked, so if LuxPhonePlaza.com had copied the other photos, it would be a dead giveaway that they stole their photos from elsewhere. But even considering that they copied the photos without watermarks, everyone already knows LRP anyway, and can immediately tell that the photos were stolen from them.

Furthermore, on advice from Frank, I tried out the order form, and there was no option for Credit Card or PayPal, yet both were mentioned as possible payment options. Nor was there a chat box, even though it was mentioned, as well. That’s when I realized that they were not just content thieves, but scammers as well. I had written before in my earlier entries that ANY site not offering a safe payment option like Credit Card is MOST LIKELY A SCAMMER.

To be honest, these are some of the most careless scammers I have ever come across. Their site is virtually empty. They did not make an effort to try to make their site look different from LRP, nor did they add descriptions, a blog or news section, or a chat program. There are many dead links on their site. It seems like they don’t care at all. The site looks like it was done in a short amount of time, the WU/Money Gram info was put into the order form, and these guys just wait for customers to come in and place orders and send MTCN numbers, never to see their money or the product again. It is not even a surprise that they are scammers…how can a rip-off site that is poorly maintained and has been around for a short amount of time compete with sites that have been up for years selling quality products all over the world?

And so, yet again we have come across a seller of Vertu replica phones that has turned out to be a scammer. I am still trying to find some good alternatives to LRP. I know there are sites out there, and I want to know about them, so contact me and notify me if you know of any good sites. Of course, don’t forget to keep telling me about shady looking sites or sites that are outright scammers, since it is my duty to notify my readers of such sites so they can shop safe. As for LRP alternatives, I really need a few of those to write about, since I’m sure my readers would like to have more than one site to choose from for premium phones. Having several sites to choose from will allow my readers to pick the site with the best prices, best products, or find new products from one site that other others don’t have. For example, LRP doesn’t have any Mobiado luxury phones, and many of my readers have been asking me where they can get some, and I haven’t found any good suppliers of Mobiado phones yet. So there you have it. Please leave a comment if you have found a good site that sells replicas, and if you are an online shopper please be careful, shop only on well known sites, and use only Credit Card or PayPal to buy stuff, no matter what you’re buying.

The procedure for ordering both luxury phones (such as Vertu’s) and Swiss watches (such as Rolexes) is the same. You will start on the page of the replica product. Here, you will be able to read about the product, see the photos, and place an order. There are 2 prices as you can see: Special price (which is lower), and Our price (which is higher). The Special price is for Western Union/Bank Transfer/Money gram, and the Our price is for Credit card. When you’re ready to place an order click “add to cart”.

Besides the description, you will find the Technical Specifications section with all information about the product. You can also check the comments section to see what other customers have to say about the product, or to ask a question of your own.

After you click “add to cart”, the page you will be taken to will look like this. If you added the wrong item to the cart, or if you put in too many items, you can mark the “remove” checkbox and click “update cart” to get the items removed. If you want to keep shopping, you can click the option for that, or click “check out” if you’re done.

This is the page that you will see after you check out. Here you can select your payment method. Scroll down even more to see:

Here you will fill in all of your information. Do not leave any field blank, if it is non-applicable put in “N/A”. After the address field you will see a comments section. You can write a request for your order, request the package to be marked as gift, etc.

Before you go on to the next page, don’t forget to put in your discount code here, if you have one. Once you have filled out everything, click “continue”.

Here you will have information about your payment method. Before you can proceed, you will be asked to read the TERMS OF USE. You might usually skip the reading part when you order from other companies, but it is very important to read this when you order from LRP. Click “confirm order” to finish. You will get an email from them shortly with instructions on how to pay. After that, you can contact LRP’s staff in regards to your purchase of one of their luxury clones. Be sure to give them the 4 digit order number that you receive or your full name so they can find your order quickly.

The fact of the matter is, all of the companies that sell the products that Lux-Replica-Phone.com sells are vulnerable to equal, if not worse, circumstances. In fact, more and more often, it is the latter. Efforts to stop companies that sell replica products will NEVER purely focus on one company, even if that company outsells all of its competitors. The reason is simple: when that company falls, other companies will replace it.

Which brings us to our next point: yes, companies that sell originals will stop at nothing to see the companies that sell replicas out of the picture. The companies that sell replicas pose a serious thread in terms of getting the potential customers and, ultimately, profit. The companies that make the originals such as (and mainly) Vertu, are very large and powerful companies that readily use their influence to make sure that governments crack down on those selling the replicas. It is already illegal to sell them as it is, but sometimes a blind eye is turned on the manufacturers. When the original manufacturers get agitated due to lack of profit, they will make sure that the action is taken against those who make replicas of their products. And they know who is making replicas and how to find them.

So after they take action, the governments either begin inspections, varying from customs offices (if suspicious behavior is reported) to the factories themselves, or increase the amount and randomness of their inspections if they do so already. Once a company is caught trying to sell the “contraband”, the government will take action. They may arrest all the employees, confiscate and destroy all of the products, and force the factories to be shut down. The websites are also forced to close. Most of the above (except for arrests, which are rare) happen to many companies. The reason? They are small and lack connections.

This is where Lux-Replica-Phones.com comes into play. Lux-Replica-Phones.com is a powerful, experienced company. Lux-Replica-Phones.com has faced and beat every kind of threat out there and has powerful connections both in China and in other places around the world. Lux-Replica-phones.com has, like other such companies, fallen victim to government inspections. However, unlike other companies who, for example, got shut down, Lux-Replica-Phones.com suffered nothing more then some delays. The company’s powerful connections ensure that the business is running smoothly and that the products are never confiscated.

Now, some of you may mention that you bought from other companies without delays, and that the companies weren’t shut down. Yes, they weren’t shut down THEN. When I, for example, bought from Lux-Replica-Phones.com, there were no delays. Just because when you bought yesterday there were no delays or shut downs doesn’t mean it can’t happen tomorrow. As stated earlier, ALL such companies are at risk and if they haven’t been shut down or faced less severe consequences already, they face the risk of being exposed to these harsh realities in the future. The fact is simple: whenever you buy replica merchandise, you take a risk. However, the type of risk you are exposed to varies depending on which company you buy from. Remember Vertuboutique.com? Customers that bought from them never got their product when the site shut down. Lux-Replica-Phones.com doesn’t even face the risk of being shut down, just minor delays. And, lets say, even if Lux-Replica-Phones.com did get shut down, their staff would be responsible enough to issue refunds to anyone who didn’t get the product, unlike many other companies that choose to just disappear after being shut down.

A lot of my readers have made purchases from Lux-Replica-Phones.com. A lot of my readers know about Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s Credit Card verification policy. However, some of my readers may not have made a purchase from Lux-Replica-Phones.com, but are planning to. This article should be particularly useful to those people in particular, as it will prepare them and avoid them unnecessary confusion and worrying.

Lux-Replica-Phones.com is a very successful business. As any successful business, they had their fair share of ups and downs. One of those ups and downs is scams. However, constant fighting against scammers has helped Lux-Replica-Phones.com establish an invulnerability, even despite lacking a system like PayPal to protect them. Oh and by the way, for those of you who don’t know, Lux-Replica-Phones.com can’t have the PayPal service since PayPal’s conditions of use prohibit the sales of replica products.

So anyway, Lux-Replica-Phones.com has developed a policy to protect it from Credit Card scams. There is a particular danger from scammers who pay with stolen credit cards. These scammers can cost a company money and/or products and are very hard to pinpoint. The fact that the money was already charged from his/her credit card does no good to the company they scam; the company will still lose the money and if they sent out the product, the product, too. So what Lux-Replica-Phones.com does is verify that each of their customers who used a Credit Card wasn’t using a stolen one.

Lux-Replica-Phones.com verifies that the Credit Card is not stolen by asking the customer to either confirming some of the information on their bank statement, or issuing a copy of their ID. This method, according to Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff, has been very effective, hence the reason Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff go through the trouble of checking every Credit Card order and constantly contacting those customers until the information has been verified. Unfortunately, some customers get the wrong idea about Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s policy, resulting in Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff having to explain to the customers the reasons for the policy over and over again. Even despite constant news posts and conditions of use which customer must read in order to proceed with their order, there are still customers who somehow miss the information. So that is why Lux-Replica-Phones.com constantly issues reminders to customers about this. I have made it my duty, too, to help both Lux-Replica-Phones.com (since they are by far my favorite company that sells replica products) and my loyal readers by posting this article.

Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s luxury watch series is new, so to speak. Take into account how long they have been selling their phones-about 5 years. The watches, on the other hand, have been on the website for just a little longer then half a year. Naturally, like any new product, the watches have been met with excitement, hesitation, concerns, and misunderstandings. Thanks to a very informative chat I had with Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff, I can now explain to you on their behalf some of the misunderstandings, and the real truth.

Swiss Movements: Prior to this writing, Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s website mentioned Swiss Movements in their watches. This had been met with great criticism, and rightly so. The fact of the matter is, Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s busy staff didn’t quite explain the word “Swiss Movements” in their case, an error which is currently being fixed by Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff. Let me explain to you REAL Swiss Movements. REAL Swiss Movements are extremely complex, precise, and expensive movements that are ONLY found in real watches. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REPLICA WATCH IN THE WORLD that uses real Swiss Movements. The reason? The price. For how much are real watches sold? Thousands. For how much are replica watches sold? Hundreds. The real Swiss Movement alone costs more then an entire replica watch. So of course we know replica watches can’t have them. However, Lux-Replica-Phones.com mentioned Swiss Movements..what does this mean? This, ladies and gentlemen, is not actually a lie, just an unfortunate case of mis-communication. You see, replica watches also come with a movement: a replica of a Swiss Movement. This movement is made in China, and is actually quite good. It is often times labeled as a Swiss Movement, but only because it is, in fact, a replica of a Swiss Movement. Just like a replica of a Ferrari Nero is called Ferrari Nero. Now, the important thing is not the actual word (in this case Swiss Movement). It is other words that are associated with the word in question. For example, there are websites that actually claim their replicas have REAL Swiss Movements. They add words like “real” and “imported from Switzerland” and “100% authentic” to the sentence DELIBERATELY to try to fool customers. Lux-Replica-Phones.com, on the other hand, never used such words. However, they also forgot to ADD some words (such as Replica to the word Swiss Movement), which would avoid confusion from the customers. Luckily, Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff are already at work modifying their website, fixing any description or text that may confuse the customers.

Gold: Again, this is a word used often on Lux-Replica-Phones.com. This time it is actually its complete form: gold plating. Yet there are still some people who claim that Lux-Replica-Phones.com is claiming that any of their products are actually made out of gold. That is absolutely false. I personally went to Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s website, and skimmed through many products and never once did I see a mention of a product actually being made of gold. This misinterpretation is a case of some site visitors “seeing what they want to see”, which is a statement that makes perfect sense. How can they see something (in this case mention of any product being made of gold) that the rest of us can’t? Or perhaps they are not reading carefully, skimming through carelessly? Lux-Replica-Phones.com, as any responsible company would, only states the facts. And they clearly state that they use a THIN LAYER of gold on their products. Everyone knows that whole parts of gold are alone worth more then an entire replica product. Use common sense when reading, especially from other websites which actually have the nerve to claim that their products have entire parts of gold. Yes, there are websites like that out there, who think that we are idiots to not see through their lies. Lux-Replica-Phones.com is NOT such a website, as anyone who has done business with them (such as myself) knows.

It is sad that there are still many websites that lie to customers. Even worse is when they use lies so obvious, a child wouldn’t fall for them. However it happens, and will continue to happen. Frank Stevenson from Lux-Replica-Phones.com mentioned a customer he had a few days ago. The customer told him that he went to another website which claimed to sell Vertu replicas made of original material, that have original weight and dimensions, and have original software. Astounding, isn’t it? The strangest part is that the customer actually believed the website that told him that. Frank Stevenson quickly assured the customer that that website had lied to him and explained the obvious reasons. Frank’s experience with that customer is just one of many that Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff have with customers who had been lied to by other customers. Thankfully, there are many people like me who make it their job to expose the truth about websites that sell replica merchandise, so customers don’t get fooled by them. As for Lux-Replica-Phones.com itself, the website is doing great. Their phone and watch sales are high, and the staff are making much-needed correction to text on the website so that customers don’t get confused. In addition, Lux-Replica-Phones.com is slowly switching from Chinese copies of Swiss Movements to Japanese Movements, which are superior. I am very glad to hear about the steps Lux-Replica-Phones.com is taking to help their customers. A special thanks to all of Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s staff members who provided me with the helpful information that I used in writing this article to help buyers of replica products!

As Lux-Replica-Phones.com put it, you can’t be a successful company and not have negative reviews written about you. Competitors must discredit you if you are doing well, since its their only chance to raise their sales. To raise their sales, they must profit from your downfall, and they will use whatever options they can. In the case of Lux-Replica-Phones.com, what competitors did was write fake discrediting reviews about Lux-Replica-Phones.com. That apparently didn’t even work, as Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s sales are still rising.

I, myself, took a look at some of these negative reviews. All I can say is its a good thing they were poorly written! I came across posts on websites where several people all write practically the same thing and use the same grammar and spelling mistakes. That, of course, wasn’t several people but one person who created several accounts to fool everybody. The internet is a great tool for getting your word out, whether you are telling the truth or lying. Luckily, most people already know better then to trust these misinforming posts: Lux-Replica-Phones.com has long established their reputation on the internet and beyond, and it is foolish to try write contrary of something that everyone already knows. Sure, these posts might be taken seriously by newbies who have never heard about Lux-Replica-Phones.com and the replica business as a whole. But the rest of the world has long been doing business with Lux-Replica-Phones.com and isn’t phased by such posts

The good news is that these post are generally rare, and I would assume that some of the websites on which this misinformation is posted take some sort of action against the posters when they are unable to provide proof of their claims. This goes to show you that you must never trust information you read online until you get concrete proof. As Lux-Replica-Phones.com put it: use logic and common sense when surfing the internet. Anybody can write anything, so use smart judgment to avoid buying into bogus claims.

Lux-Replica-Phones.com stated that to be the best, you have to provide the best. Being based in Hong Kong, which is practically a separate country from China, Lux-Replica-Phones.com often falls into the “cheap Chinese manufacturer” stereotype. And, having known the company’s staff for years and having bought their products many times, it really saddens me that this misconception still continues, despite Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s unrivaled dominance over the replica phone market.

Having been started 5 years ago, Lux-Replica-Phones.com wasn’t always the same. Their products were different, and their website was different. However, experience is what builds winners, and Lux-Replica-Phones.com has had plenty. And not only did they come to the top, but they were able to do it despite 1) the worldwide economic recession, which has most likely made people think twice about buying a luxury product and 2) intense competition, often based on lies, from hundreds of companies that claim to provide similar products and services.

It, of course, doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s dominance was due to them being able to provide outstanding customer service and products at a good price. Therefore, I am sure my readers aren’t surprised that I am in awe about the latest accusations against Lux-Replica-Phones.com from critics. The critics stated that Lux-Replica-Phones.com sells cheap Chinese watches and extremely high prices!

Lux-Replica-Phones.com fired back, providing the obvious information about how they were able to rise to be the top of the replica merchandise market and wrote the truth about their watches: these are NOT just simple Chinese-made watches, these are watches that are made with the same professionalism as their replica phones. The watches have all Swiss movements and are made out of high quality European steel. In fact, looking at the website right now, the prices not only don’t seem high, they actually seem quite low! Of course, the ruckus that the critics attempted to raise hasn’t affected Lux-Replica-Phones.com’s sales in the least bit: their Luxury Watch series has been selling well and there are now more watches then phones on the website. If the luxury watches weren’t as good as Lux-Replica-Phones.com states they are, nobody would buy them and Lux-Replica-Phones.com would have been forced to close down their watch line and focus exclusively on phones.

1. Cost – why spend thousands of dollars for a VERTU when you can buy a copy up to a hundred times cheaper? Most of you will say what about the…
2. …overall quality – of course you will not get 200 grams of pure gold, but you will manage to enjoy more than decent quality. The parts used inside are generic Nokia parts for most models, so you’re not missing out on performance. Outer shell parts are also very durable and can outrun most plastic phones of today.
3. Durability – original VERTU phones need servicing at least once a year in order to keep their original look and quality. The high-quality leather of real VERTU phones needs to be changed annually. Replica VERTU phones come with a 1 year warranty, which guarantees that the look and shape of your replica phone is as durable as the original.

4. Performance – the software inside a replica VERTU phone is Nokia S60 based with some minor adjustments as to expandability. Many VERTU replica models have more languages and functions than original VERTU phones and the firmware can be updated and upgraded from the comfort of your home.
5. The ‘Shine’ – replica VERTUs look and feel as the real thing. Some VERTU phones in their replica versions are even heavier than their original counterparts. Almost all minimal details have been replicated in most VERTU replica ranges.
6. Cheapness – related to point number 1, the cheapness of replica phones allows the owner to feel less tense when the phone gets lost, scratched, broken, flooded, stolen, eaten, etc. Imagine losing a 310,000-dollar VERTU Cobra! I’d drown myself.
7. Everyday use – brings us to the thought that a replica can be used everyday without fear of anything. Even if you have an original VERTU, a replica can be used for everyday use, and the original on special occasions, just like jewelery.
8. Cheap spare parts – Obtaining spare parts is cheap and easy. Original parts may cost well over your monthly salary. Replica VERTU parts cost less than what you’ve spent today for lunch.
9. Buying is easy – buying a replica is easier than you think. Original VERTUs are sold in licensed jewelry shops, there are not many around. Replica VERTU phones can be bought online with express shipping to most countries.

There are 3 verified online stores that offer VERTU replica phones:

1. VertuClone.eu – former VertuBoutique.com. The store has closed 3 times in 2009 changing addresses and locations, but does still seem to offer phones.
2.ReplicaMobile.com – legit website, with a good model range and interesting pricing schemes.
3.Lux-Replica-Phones.com – which I’d definitely recommend as a one-stop-shop for all your replica phones and watches needs. Prices are more than fair, support is top-notch and quality is excellent.

Why are they called ’star-hash’ codes? Because they all start with a star (*) followed by a hash (#).

Star-hash codes are keyed in the same way you would key in a regular number (dial a number). Here are a few codes that will work with your VERTU replica phone, try them out:

*#06#

– displays the IMEI number. For more information about IMEI’s read VERTU Replica and IMEI Problems. Make sure you write this number down somewhere, so that your VERTU replica it gets stolen you can report it to the operator, resulting in the blockage of service for the phone.

*#0000#

– displays the firmware version, date of release and install batch. This is useful information when servicing the replica phone at your dealer, or changing the firmware yourself, like I did here: Flashing the VERTU replica.

*#2820#

– displays the bluetooth address currently assigned to your phone. This is useful for some software that uses bluetooth.

*#7780#

– RESTORES FACTORY SETTINGS, so make sure you actually want to do that

*#7370#

– FORMATS YOUR VERTU, restoring the factory s, so make sure you actually want to do that

If you know of any other good star-hash codes – post them here as comments along with your VERTU replica model name and number, I’ll update the list to make it a more comprehensive one.

How does one go about using Western Union? There are two ways to send a Western Union payment to someone – over the Internet, using your credit card, and at a local Western Union agent. Western Union agents are usually banks and post offices. Online payments can be processed here, which is easier than going to a physical agent in your city. But, if you have to, you should know some basic principles of paying by Western Union.

Here is an example form for a Western Union transaction. The header and footers may be customized by the bank, but the contents are standard Western Union-set ones.

It is very simple and is usually filled by the agent. You should, though, always double- and even triple-check all the details, since one missed or mistyped letter in any of the details blocks the receiver from cashing the transfer. Of course, you’ll be able to rectify the mistake free of charge by going to the agent and asking him to change the details.

When buying replica watches and replica phones always make sure to know who you are buying from, since Western Union payments are irreversible.
