So check this out. I was on craigslist and found an iphone 3g 16gb for $245 which I wanted to purchase. Price didn't really tell me it was a scam because I've bought one for $250 before, same model and everything. I emailed the person which sent me a message to reply w/ "want to buy" in the subject box. So he emailed me saying that he would get the ball rolling by sending me a paypal invoice from his wife's email. I checked out the email by having my bro send me a request for money and its legit. I checked out his Paypal acct. and it was made Jan 4 2009 which got me paranoid. He also said he's in NC until the 5th and will ship it after payment was made. So I asked for a phone number to call which he ignored and then I asked where it was shipping from. He said " KY" which was another red flag. I told him I thought he was in NC until the 5th which at this point he said he was a field technician and was flying out this evening to KY. where we would ship it it tomorrow. A quick search for his email address shows this
