It is completely True,
A friend of mine in Singapore ran into the same story and found
that it was all a big junk...they usually attract people by the unbelievable cheap prices...and then it is the fraud..

if you wanna get a deal on electronics...here is the plan:

1- visit Carfour and City Center for the least prices
2- goto the electronic market in sofetil hotel buliding...and start negotiating with people there ....you can have a good deal then...
