The fake iPhone can be seen in the video below, it looks very convincing and the fact that the IMEI numbers and serial numbers checked out, it would probably fool most people.

If you are buying an iPhone X online from non authorized retailers, then you should use a credit card or something like PayPal to make sure you are covered if you get scammed.
