Not so long ago an Indian company Ringing Bells promised to release a smartphone worth a total of 4 (four) of the US dollar and called it Freedom 251. There have been several PR actions to bring attention to this almost-free cell phone, but today it became clear that no smartphone does not exist.
251 Freedom turned out to be a Scam, which happened all the fans of a free lunch, and there were many. Official website of the Ringing Bell led the receiving pre-orders for the smartphone with 100 percent advance payment and promised to send the pic by mail to each in the near future. Naturally, the packages so no one got because they probably were not even sent. It seems that the developers decided to conduct very large-scale sell based on the eternal desire of not particularly smart people to get something expensive at a low price. They apparently are still not aware that the avaricious pays twice, and someone always pays. A website dedicated to Freedom 251, still works, but data to supply it contains.
It is unknown how many were issued provisional orders on $ 4 worth of smartphone with a very good performance, but the collected amount probably covered all the expenses on advertising on the Internet. By the way, that Freedom 251 is a fake, it is clear from his appearance — it is too similar to a cross between the fifth Device and the sixth. The investigation into the incident is already underway.
