Wholesale phone scam?

So I message this person on craiglist because he/she was selling a bold for $380. He/she replied back saying he/she is selling 1 for $380, 2 for $500, 3 for $850 and 5 for $900. Are these things a scam? It sounds pretty tempting.

I've got a RedBerry too. Mint, unlocked, penta-band 4G. Works on the Moon. -_-


























Of course it's a scam.

How do you tell the difference between these handsets? The OS?

I see some people selling some BB Bold really cheap and don't want to get scammed.

Bascially, the price should be the first warning sign. The OS, yeah, for sure. Who knows, they may be Chinese knock-offs, but more likely than not they are stolen or somehow illegal sales. Get educated and don't be tempted merely because of the price.
