I think I've come across a Craigslist scammer, what do I do?
I emailed a guy about an iPhone 5s used for $95 (the post was 3 hours old), and he emailed back saying:
"Hello a guy bought this from me, but I can tell you where I got it from.
I got 3 of these from quibauctions.com and I resold them for some extra money.
The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. That's what I do and I win most of the time.
All the best
Kyle"
It seems like an obvious scam to me, and I know he has at least my email, probably my full name as well. I emailed using my iPhone email, so I assume he now has the iMessage info as well. What do I do?
Just a marketing ploy.
- Would a scammer take a deposit? I'm buying an iPhone and I wasn't able to pay by PayPal and I didn't want to send through the money on bank transfer for her to mail it to me as I got scammed a few weeks ago trying to buy a phone. The girl said I could pay a deposit of $30 and as soon as I receive the phone I could pay the rest of the money… Does that seem dodgy or would a scammer not bother for $30?
- Rainbow lines across iphone screen? I got my iphone 4s about a month ago and i've had the lifeproof case on it since day 1. I have never dropped it, or gotten water on it etc. Today i was in the midst of typing a text message, when i noticed some multicoloured lines going horizontally across my screen. When i went to my home screen i noticed that half of my screen is completely like that. Everything is still fully functioning for the time being, but its really annoying! How do i get rid of this?
- Is iMessage free across countries? My best friend has just moved to Germany and I'm from England. We both have iPhones and I want to know if iMessage would be free for us? Is it only free if we use Wi-Fi or is it always free even using 3G?
- IPhone 4S has weird lines across the screen I have dropped my iphone on carpet and it landed on the case but now has weird blue, yellow sometimes red and white lines across the screen. Help? Will Apple replace it? Can I fix it? Is there a repair place that will fix it?
