It was a little Samsung flip phone, don't remember the model number. We met up at the Chevron at 635/Macarthur

Man I don't remember that but it was a long time ago LOL!

Fuck that! You did the right thing by backing out. That area is shit. Better than some areas or Arlington/Fort Worth, but still shit. One side of 30 is Agg Town the other is Funky Town.
I dont know what the connection, but most of the Craigslist robberies you hear about are for cell phones.

Ya I pretty much had a bad vibe about it after trying to arrange a time and place to meet. It always struck me as odd that he didn't want to meet at the AT&T store and him flop flopping on the time today just settled it for me. Might look a little today for a local phone on Criaglist otherwise I'm either going to buy a Nexus 5 or look on eBay.

Did I? What phone was that do you remember? Lot of things have changed in the past ten years. I'd feel safer with a board member than someone on Craiglist.

Screw this. So I texted the guy to confirm the time to meet and now he's telling me 10pm instead of the 7pm because he has to work late. I told him thanks but no thanks. Than he tries to change it and say he can leave work early than. This whole deal was more drama than I cared for. Still looking

[ramairracer]

i went thru this last week im 7 months from an upgrade, I wasted time meeting someone
and being assured it was ok and for att, i show up and its for sprint..
and i also find about a scam like someone said, about it being reported stolen.
Before you could say it was stolen and no big deal, now they blacklist the phone after being reported stolen, and the network locks it out..
i bet somone can unlock it but hell its too much work, i ended up finding a phone repair place that sells used ones that i guess are rebuilt and look like new
good luck

What phone are you trying to purchase, and for what price? Many pawn shops carry phones as well. Just a thought.

I can't understand how a craigslist or whatever phone deal can be so worth the aforementioned bullshit and hassle.

^^This X eleventy billion.

Let that crackhead scam somebody else... if you've gotta have another phone, go to a legit seller and save yourself a bunch of trouble.

He gave me the IMEI number and it came up clean. That being said, what can AT&T do to check the phone? Check the IMEI again? Might give AT&T a call as well. Need to do more research I guess. Shit I can't believe all the trouble this is turning out to be

Pull it apart, check the imei to make sure it matches, just remember the last 4 of the one he gave you. Check battery and back of phone for water damage, or that they didn't pull the water detection sticker off.

That's cool, just verify that is the same one you get and you should be clear.
