In many cases--like the vendors in Instagram--you don't get a device at all! You'll get a fake letter saying that your device was "seized by customs." (I imagine people who order from Amazon will receive some sort of actual device.)

- jstarfish 4y agoYou sure the Customs letters are scams? Customs does seize stuff, and I've gotten those letters when buying drugs from abroad with no reason to question the seller's integrity-- they usually reshipped without incident, marking the package as something less honest the second time. The "scam" is run by Customs themselves in that they want you to admit on record that you're importing something illegal before they release it ;)
