So I came across his topic: Iphone 3gs 32gb white ( new set), which had the following details in his first post:

Now, for an iPhone 3GS 32GB to be THIS cheap, there must be something amiss.. That, and his location being "Cameron". No warranty, dealing method, picture affixed, too.
Interested (or rather, suspicious), I PM him:
So he says he's a "reliable seller". I look up for his posts/topics, and he basically has nothing. No successful trade list (not even a fake one rofl), no WTS/WTB topic apart from that iPhone one. Nothing.
He lowers his price so easily from RM2000 to RM1900, even when I didn't ask for it.
I then say I'm uninterested. Which then results in him asking me to deposit RM500 before he posts it, then I can pay the balance after I receive it.
Not even a hint of negotiation/bartering. Not even an attempt to gain my confidence.
His profile also states that he's born in 1994 (Birthday 9 March 1984), which makes him only 16 years of age. And he claims that the iPhone was a gift from buying a "mini couple s" (Mini Cooper I'm assuming?). So, a 16 years old guy bought a Mini Cooper S and got an iPhone for free, lives in some obscure location, will not meet up at anywhere else to COD (put that new car of yours to use, for f***'s sake!) and wants to sell it, claims he's reputable, yet has no substantial backing to it.
Scam? Or legit? Your call.
