flag Nigerian entrepreneur Blord faces backlash for selling modified iPhones as fake iPhone 17 Pro Maxes, misleading buyers and risking security.

flag In Nigeria, a controversy erupted after entrepreneur Blord sold refurbished iPhone XR units—modified to resemble the iPhone 17 Pro Max—for up to ₦450,000, drawing backlash for misleading consumers. flag The devices, altered with new casings and displays but retaining outdated internals, do not match genuine iPhone 17 Pro Max specs, void Apple warranties, and pose security risks. flag Activist VeryDarkMan accused Blord of fraud, claiming the phones are made in China for about ₦280,000, while Blord’s response fueled further distrust. flag Experts warn buyers to verify model numbers and serial codes via Apple’s official site, avoid suspiciously low prices, and purchase only from authorized sellers to prevent scams.
