Hi, I just ran into the same douchebag.

I'm trying to sell my IPhone 5S on craigslist for $300, when I get a text:

Dbag: Hey...whatsup do you stil have your <copy/pasted item sell title> for sale?

Me: yep

Dbag: Do you still have the box and how long have you been using it?

Me: Like the ad says, I've had it for 14 months and all the original items are included and in mint condition, even the box.

Dbag: ok...where are you located?

Me: (I tell him general areas of my home and work, then offer to meet near either area)

Dbag: Alright..I'm sorry i don't have a meet up schedul so I'll be offering you $400 including shiping fee and am paying via PayPal..I'll be glad if you accept my offer and get back to me with an invoice via PayPal to [email protected] and i'll process the fund immediately.

At this point I decided to troll him a bit

Me: On second thout, I'd like $5000 for the phone thru PayPal instead. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would accept my new offer and send me the money ASAP. Once i receive the money I will sendyou th e phone, so kindly pay me the ,oney so i can send you the fone. Thamk you!

I got no further reply. I received three other near identical inquiries within an hour of this one. which I started sending pictures of hardcore gay porn to upon immediate reply. lol.
