Florida Tech CEO Indicted for Selling $1B Worth of Counterfeit Cisco Equipment
One thing I always try to remember is not to buy or sell electronics in Miami.<p>Every time a "person" from Miami has purchased a device from me online, it turned out to be the address of some shady forwarding/shipping company.  They take forever and lose things, so the actual buyer may file a claim they never got the item.  Thankfully, Swappa caught on and put some rules in place recently.  Basically, the buyer must disclose this, and once it's delivered to said forwarder, the transaction is done.<p>Every time I've purchased a phone from a seller in Miami, it's been fraudulent in some way.  Typically, phones being sold as new that have very obvious pry marks near the screen.<p>Beautiful city, but something about it seems to attract the shadiest businesses.
