Bharatiya Janata Party MP Kirit Somaiya on Friday called the sale of ‘Freedom 251’ – dubbed by many as the world’s cheapest phone – a ‘ponzi bogus company scam’. He has said that there is a huge scam involved in ‘Freedom 251’. After going through all papers of the company, he found out that the ‘Freedom 251’ doesn’t even have a licence.

“This is a huge scam, that is why I went through all the papers of the company. The government has informed Uttar Pradesh government to check the bonafide of the promoter. This is a Ponzi bogus company scam,” Somaiya told.

Somaiya in his letter asked whether the objective and aim behind the offer had been studied. Has it been investigated if it is a collective investment scheme or a ponzi scheme, he enquired.

The Telecom Ministry is believed to have sought clarification from Ringing Bells for marketing its ‘Freedom251’ mobile phone without BIS certification and have asked UP government to check its credentials, as per BJP MP Kirit Somaiya.

Noida-based company Ringing Bells on Thursday started booking for the phone for Rs 251 and has said that delivery of all handsets will be completed by June 30.
