Austin Craigslist Scammer Given Two Choices
7 years ago

Back story, I purchased an iPhone for my wife for $560 from a person named "Zeke" on Craigslist. Upon activating on AT&T by inserting the SIM, our entire account was suspended. Apparently the iPhone he sold me was stolen and that's all AT&T would tell us.
When buying the phone, my assistant who picked it up told me he had several in his vehicle, so I wrote him another email claiming I also wanted an iPhone and he agreed to meet me back in the same parking lot the next day.
He ended up "refunding" me a total of $700 dollars (watch his counting). If he shows up to sell you a phone in Austin, beware!
