I was searching for Iphone 3G S 32GB at Craiglist. I saw one that said APPLE IPHONE 32GB 3G S 32GB UNLOCKED – $300. I contacted them. They told me that if i buy 3 i get 1 free so the total was $900usd.I accepted the offer and i tried to find some friends to buy together. But i couldn’t fine anyone so i said send only 1. They told me that the items were already packed. I said i dont have $900usd to send. He told me to send $500usd then when i get the phones i could send him the $400usd. I sent $500 from Western Union. That night he called me and said that the company had a meeting and thet do not do like that anymore so i had to send $400usd more. I borrowed from my friend and sent it. Then he wanted $450usd insurance for UPS. I told him that i cant find the money and wanted to cancel everything. He told me that they can refund the money in 3 months
A few weeks later they emailed me and they said UPS doesn’t want the insurance anymore and i just had to send the Tax and Vat $200usd. So i sent that to. But then he told me that they and UPS had made a mistake and they sent me 19 Iphones. And to get them i had to pay $1500usd for tax and vat. I told him that is their problem but he said that my phones were in there too. Then my friend heard this and he wanted to buy all of them. We agreed to send $500 and he accepted it. After when we sent the money they said we have to pay $1000 more but they told me that the company was going to pay. So i dont have any money left and they are not sending my money or the iphones. My total lost is $1600usd without the fee in Western Union and thats like $60usd.

He did the same thing to me!!!
don’t answer the emails now, and every time we speak – its the same thing – he wants more money and gives you nothing in return..
don’t belive that and show it to your friends!

Are you guys not gonna do anything about this??? He can’t just take your money and run away with it…something must be done about this – so you can have your money back.
