Have either of you posted on threads where an iPhone4 was for sale? If you have, have you considered this guy may have just pmd people that he thinks mat be interested in his phone?

I've seen that username before so its not a newbie.

Here's Wiley's iphone 4 for sale at £360..

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...desire-hd.html

So £350 isn't so far fetched.........

wiley had a 32gb for sale also that went for 415 delivered,https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...ice-price.html

so me paying 380 delivered didnt seem like a steal or a con.
i would rather wait a couple days to see if i get replies to my emails/pms before i name.

danssti ?

That username is familiar so I guess he posts on here regularly..... I wonder if someone has used his account as it seems a pretty silly thing to do if you are well known ?

Not defending anyone, but it just seems stupid to use your own details for a scam....

It does seem odd, his history on here doesn't look like that of a scammer. Could he just have gone on holiday/be unavailable for a few days?

what has plod had to say about it?

I noticed his account isnt tagged as being under suspicion?
