The ad I ran on Kijiji site in Canada is as follows:

Blackberry Bold Onyx II 9780 MINT COND. Price Negotiable

Mint Blackberry Bold Onyx II 9780 and new soft touch, hard case with belt clip holster. This is one beautiful phone. It has always been in a case and used with screen protector. It was locked to Rogers but is now unlocked to accept Bell, Telus and other cell service providers that use SIM technology except WIND and MOBILICITY.
Please check out the specs for this phone here : http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_bold_9780-3431.php

Price is also negotiable. Contact me through here or Text/Call me @ 289-237-3926. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Serious Inquiries only please.

The response I received from 1-646-543-4314 not 10 minutes later was:

The scammer's intent is to send a fake paypal email stating that payment has been made, in hopes of getting you to send the phone before you realize the email is fake.

Just disregard this scammer and move on.
