Stranger asks for my iPhone: scam?

I was at the mall food court with family and some seemingly friendly looking guy in a coat with a bible approached asking to use phone to text someone. We're suspicious and start asking him questions and he gives shady replies. I don't give him the phone but he goes up to some other guy and convinces him to lend his phone. Turns out he types out a long message about some crime on the dudes phone and then leaves. Super weird.

Any clue what that's all about? Was it a scam or a set up? Everything about it is shady.

Kill him

Sounds like a set up and the text will trace back to that guy's number when the police get involved

  • What does it mean if a stranger takes pictures of you? So I was at mall today & I was eating at the good court & I noticed this guy was looking at me like A LOT. So I just ignored him & then I glanced at him to see if he was still staring at me & he had his iphone up & pointed directly at me & he was pressing the screen like 5 times then he looked at me & when he saw I was looking at him he smiled & then left. I don't know what he was doing but I hope he isn't a phsycopath. What does that mean?
  • Iphone 5s asks for visa on all apps? I have an iphone 5s, all the applications are asking for a visa card or something altho most of them are for free. What's wrong and how could i fix it?!
  • If i buy a apple iphone 5 from a stranger, how can i put it under my name? If I was to buy a iPhone 5 from a stranger, can the person block it from reporting it stolen? how can I avoid that?

  • If a stranger picks up a dropped sim card for an iphone can they access my photos? My boyfriend smashed his phone off a lamp post today with images of us and mug shots (lol) of me which i'm not too keen for people to be seeing. We went back later on to find a phone there with a sim gone. What exactly can they see of my boyfriends with just that iphone 5s sim? Also can we ever get those pictures back with no sim nor phone?
