India always has been the premium destination for scammers to lay there hands on, no offence but being a developing country people tend to go for appealing price tag more than the quality of the product.
For all of you who don't know what the Freedom 251 is, its the worlds cheapest smartphone produced by an Indian company named Ringing bells. Lets do some background data check of the company.
The company was started 5 months ago, with an authorized capital of Rs 1 crore and a paid capital of Rs 60 Lacks. And its a non-Government company nor the government is subsidizing them, neither it has anything to do with the made in India campaign, despite of the popular believes.
Whitener is used to remove the name of the Chinese company Adcom, maybe someone was in a hurry.

Dreams Come True-
Everyone in India wants to buy an I phone at 250 bucks and he is making there dreams true. Surely if you are dreaming.
My opinions -
Sep 20 - A person from a totally unrelated background registers a company for mobile technology.
Feb 8 - he launches a 4G phone for Rs. 2999. By Feb 10, he realises that this could be so big. So in hurry, he registers a domain, builds a website, googles for a decent chinese android phone (in this case adcom ikon 4), puts whitener over its brand and sends it to the media as his own prototype.
On Feb 17- he gives large newspaper ads, invites some well known people to make it seem legit and launches the phone.
Then, seeing the opportunity he runs away or makes profit from the profit from the interest of the investment and returns the money.
