Hello
I appreciate your interest in my iPhone 4S - 64GB - Unlocked, first of all
I want to assure that there's nothing wrong with it. The iPhone is new and
is unblocked on all networks. My final price is $300 with delivery/handling
included and it is not negotiable because the iPhone is new.
I want to use eBay services for the safety of both of us so if you're
interested in purchasing this iPhone just email me with your full name,
address including the zip code and phone number, so I can notify eBay that
you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain
the entire procedure.
P.S. I have 35 iPhones in stock.

This person asks for a payment via Western Union or MoneyGram, supposedly to eBay.
Sounds safe. It's not!
The emails claiming to be from eBay are fake.
If payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not receive the item that you paid for.
All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
Please note this advice from eBay...
Tips for Staying Safe Online
- Make sure your user ID is completely different from your email
address. Often, the way crooks obtain a member's email address is by
guessing that it's similar to the member's user ID.
- Be suspicious of emails with the subject line "Message from eBay
Member." We don't use that subject line.
- Never use a link in an email to log into your eBay account.
- Don't respond to any email that asks you to complete a purchase
outside of eBay. Off-eBay transactions pose a serious risk of fraud, and
they're not eligible for eBay services such as Feedback, requests for
contact information, or PayPal Buyer Protection. For more information,
go to:

- Be careful about buying high-priced items, especially if the price
seems too good to be true.
- Don't pay for items with cash or cash wire transfers, such as Western
Union or MoneyGram. If something goes wrong, it's hard to get your money
back. For more information on paying confidently, go to:
