Escobar launched a new phone - DON’T buy it.

Unexpected is probably the best way to describe this. I received an email from the Escobar company yesterday on a normal day at the office and the email was not that we were thinking of sending you this new device. He is interested? It was our new

phone

is programmed to I will give it to you tomorrow, how can I lie to you, several things went through my head. The first thought was that Escobar was made of a

phone

, right?, and then that quickly changed to concern: is this actually a phone they are sending or should I receive my protection? team at the tsunderes I was a little relieved when I saw that marques mkbhd had received a pretty similar email, so we decided to link up on this one.

We wanted to make sure we sent a very clear and consistent message that Escobar has released a new phone, don't buy it, okay, you may already be familiar with that whole West of Our Fold saga about six months ago, the company announced this supposedly revolutionary smartphone, they claimed this was the end for Samsung, they made flashy teasers a little too flashy. so I can show you here and they even created a website called IP Samsung comm so you think about the scenario wow this is amazing what could it be, it was a Samsung phone if the Escobar fold was just a Samsung Galaxy fold with Escobar stickers. on it and more importantly, most of the people who bought the phone didn't receive the phone, but they did receive something.

It seems like every person who ordered an Escobar fold was sent a book. It's the strangest biography I think I've ever seen. and when I first saw it I couldn't understand why they bothered sending something if you're going to take money and not hand over a phone. I don't think a good read is going to make up for it, but now that I've had time to reflect on it, the only thing that makes sense to me is that this book was a decoy, that they did this so that when customers called their banks to say my phone hadn't arrived, please give me my money back, Escobar could really say like without looking, check the tracking number, we delivered something and also I think there's another layer to this, these books would serve as a way to really smart way to extend the scam period, they would cause existing customers to put off complaining online and maybe even give them reassurance that in fact, their product is on the way, it gives Escobar time to get as many people as possible order your phones before it finally becomes public that it's a scam and this wouldn't be the first time companies pull a stunt like That June, when Elon Musk came up with a flamethrower for five hundred dollars, yeah, well, almost Immediately, Escobar started selling an identical looking flamethrower for $249, but instead of shipping it, they just sent certificates of ownership as if to say, "don't worry." yours you just can't use or have it, especially because of this, PayPal apparently stopped working with them and too many people were calling them asking for their money back anyway, the people who bought these Escobar flip phones were understandably angry . and there's a whole Facebook community full of comments from customers who ordered a phone but only got this glorified pamphlet to show it off and there's one guy who went further and left.

I created an entire website that Escobar scammed and then at the beginning. The whole Sampson thing got involved in a lawsuit which they won. It doesn't surprise me much, but all of that makes this even more confusing. You'd think that after that whole saga, the Escobar company would say, "Okay, guys, we'll try." It doesn't work, people aren't happy, let's do something else now, but no, this is the Escobar gold 11pro and it's another company and also possibly the strangest product launch I've ever seen in my entire life, why the official website actively promotes? The fact that they are associated with the deceased drug dealer is intended to be a selling point.

Why are you bragging that your co-founder is the murder boss? Why isn't there a single photo or video on the phone where it's not being seen? used by European models who barely wear clothes it's not the typical shopping experience with a smartphone you put it that way it's like a proper solid wooden box and of course it opens with the button this is like every Escobar cliche rolled into one 2000 years later Oh no ok We'll get to what the Apple laptop was designed for and below that are what look like normal Apple accessories so the Lightning cable has a charging brick, a pair of headphones and a report of condition, although perhaps the most surprising thing here is that yes, this iPhone.

It costs $499 on Escobar's site apparently it's gold plated and they actually gave it to me what is the business model here how does it make sense good at first impression it seems like people's brand is largely taking the angle that these big companies the apples the Samsungs they are the problem they are the villains but don't worry Escobar is here we are going to fight for you also it seems that maybe Escobar is capitalizing on the popularity of the narcos television series that features Escobar's name, but when we saw they were pricing their phones below cost we thought wait a second no matter how much you care about people no proper business can run unless it makes a profit so you start thinking if this is a scheme money laundering the idea of ​​using dirty money acquired from criminal activities to establish a scheme or business that generates clean money that can then be used for legitimate purchases, but this also does not make sense because if you really wanted to generate clean money you still have to send to the customers the products that Escobar has not made so far, otherwise you are just making dirty money to turn into more dirty money because you are still creating it from criminal activities.

Yes, I have the phone here. They sent it. They sent it to Márquez because maybe they think he will say good things about it but they won't send it to the people who buy it. I don't think this is money laundering, I just think it's a scam which would explain why there are no secure payment methods on the site, would explain why comment sections are disabled for their YouTube videos, would explain why they don't even They bothered to charge shipping on your phone, no matter where in the world you wanted it, there was absolutely no intention. from sending the phone in the first place, okay, a day later and this document, this condition report reinforces the whole point.

I want to make it clear that this whole thing about this gold 11pro is a complete repeat of the Escobar Fold saga, only this time it's more. elaborate, they have a promo video that starts with and I quote, "Welcome home, Apple guys," Steven Tim, let's cook and the whole video is just these girls finding more and more inventive ways to bake an iPhone that you've probably trapped in exactly the same way as us. I had our Samsung IP a few months ago, now we have our Apple IP, but the difference is this, but this phone is much more subtle, they are telling a story that almost makes sense, take a look at the sheet, it basically shows the condition on the that the Escobar company supposedly bought the phone, so mine says it was previously water damaged.

I asked Marquez that his phone had water damage and cable damage, so the story they are trying to tell you is fine, look, we bought the phones cheap because they were previously damaged, but now that we repaired them we can afford to sell them to them for little money and if the story that you almost want to believe and is so elaborately made, it could even be true, it could even be the case that yes, this phone suffered water damage. and they fixed it and it could even be the case that they can do all that while delivering it for less than $499.

It's plausible, but whatever, it doesn't change the fact that this is the same company that made Escobar bend one. no one understood it they created an Escobar for two no one understood it so it doesn't matter what the story is it doesn't matter if it is technically possible to be able to do all this for less than four hundred and ninety nine dollars the fact is that if you ask for it, all the evidence points to the fact that you probably won't receive it, so again don't buy it, but let's say you did and let's say that by some miracle it arrived and this is what they say about it.

Tom Blowers come or go works like a normal iPhone, the difference is in the 24 karat gold, so yes, it works like an iPhone, it is an iPhone, but if I take the normal iPhone 11 Pro here, it feels smooth, seamless and dense, but if this just feels cheap, you can feel this noticeable seam between the sides and the back and I think it's finally time to find out why it's definitely coming off, oh dear, it came off too easily, it's metal and they've obviously replaced the actual backplate with The phone it's not like they just slapped a sticker on top of it.

I mean, look, it's already off. You might as well finish the job. OK. I mean, it's an iPhone, but the way it's put together it feels like one of those ultra-cheap wishes. quiet phones just be careful, just be careful, I'm sure people will buy it, but as far as mine and Marquez's recommendation goes, don't buy it and that's the explosion of Escobar gold 11 pro.
