Man who promised Dh14 smartphone arrested for fraud

There is little doubt that the Freedom 251 smartphone from Indian manufacturer Ringing Bells, priced at about $4, was a scam. According to distributor Ayam Enterprises, Ringing Bells founder, Mohit Goel convinced them to pay Rs. Ringing Bells has yet to come clean about the pre-orders from last year, and what happened to the cheap smartphone that was reportedly delivered to some buyers. The firm, however, delivered devices worth less than half of that amount to the distributor. Now, the company's founder has been arrested for defrauding distributors of the cheap smartphone.
