When you have concerns about a transaction or an individual you should maybe use an escrow.

There's plenty right now including mine which offer resolution services.

I recently posted that I wanted to buy two Iphone 4Ss  (They will not be onsale until Oct 14th)

I received the following reply:

"Hey I have two unlocked iphone 4s's. How much are you willing to pay for each?"


I replied asking how he has them before they are even on sale and to send some photos as proof.  He never replied,   so I suspect he was just hoping to get me to pay in advance.

This IS NOT proof of a scam,  but I find it very suspicious.

Here is the email header information:
