^^ yeah, we should all post our exact addresses and social security numbers as well! [with numbers].

There's so much facepalm all around in this thread. Here's a wild idea 'if its too good to be true - it is!'

There was three potential transactions i wanted to take care of on here, one guy copied photos from google that someone else took [claimed as his own] so i asked him to take a pic with a piece of paper stating username - called him out, he never replied = scammer.

Jeez i've seen about 3-4 people get scammed on here since i joined this forum. Each time same story, a bunch of newbs that would probably fall for the craigslist scams too! LOL
/rant

Moral of the story, if someone is selling a torch, which is a 650$ device new, why would they be selling one for 1/3 of the retail price [refurbished or not] when they can get an easy 300-350$ within minutes of posting it? Think about it next time you want to buy a phone - or anything online for that matter.
