Am I being scammed on craiglist?

So I'm looking to buy an iPhone and there's this guy in my area but he said he goes to college and he could ship the item to me. He said I could pay through moneygram on Walmart. I asked him how will I know I will get my iPhone for sure then? And he said "because it's common sense that I can't just steal you're money chargers can clearly be pressed for theft if I do that's pretty clear to see." What should I do?

Keep shopping

Don't do it. Moneygram can be as bad as Western Union. Once they get the cash they're gone.

I would never buy a phone off Craigslist. Buy from a family member, friend or even a friend of a friend who is upgrading it you want a discount on it. When my oldest started driving we knew we couldn't afford a new iphone so my husband put out the word at work if anyone was looking to upgrade that he could buy their old phone. We got it for a good deal.

If you insist on doing this through Craigslist then say that you will meet them at your local police station. Our local police station posted on their Facebook page that if anyone wanted to safely meet someone they were buying from on Facebook to come meet at the police station. Just meet outside in the parking lot. The idea is first you will be safe or in a safe area than meeting at a strangers home and second if someone was going to scam you or thinking of scamming the idea of police being near by may scare them off.

Look for another one.

Of course you're being scammed.

Don't do that please

Tell him to send it and once you get it you will pay. He can trust you because "if you don't pay clearly you can be pressed for theft, that's pretty clear to see"
