An Australian student has said she will put up her new Samsung mobile phone, packed with graphic porn images, for auction on eBay. The electronic stores chain from where she had bought the phone would not care to take it back.
The university student from Cairns in Queensland said she was shocked and disgusted to find her new mobile phone contained pornographic images of a female employee from a Cairns Dick Smith Electronics store for $199.
"It’s sickening to think I’ve been using this phone near my face when it was used to take all of these photos," she said.
"What would’ve happened if that phone was bought for a child?"
"I’m not disgusted by what she did. What people do in their own homes is their business. But I’m disgusted that it was left on the shelf to be sold."
The shop sold her the display phone because it was the last one in stock, but she later contacted the store to complain that it was faulty because she could barely hear callers talking.
She then accessed the phone’s menu and discovered 49 images, including the female staff member in her Dick Smith Electronics uniform outside the store, two other people, and what appear to be various interior shots of a motel room.
Benedict Brook, a spokesman for the retailer, said it had seen a handful of the images in question, and the one or two images that were pornographic were blurry.
