Two scammers in one day

So I'm attempting to buy an iPad to use it to show clients photos, instead of printing portfolios. So I turn to good ol' craigslist. Got 2 scam replies. I see they are getting more clever. lol.
#1:
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, but someone already bought the iPad and
picked it up. You might want to try and buy one where I bought mine at. It's
an auction site kind of like ebay that has quite a few iPads.
I am usually able to pick them up there between $130 and $160, I think it's so
cheap because the site is newer and there aren't many bidders yet. Anyways,
I'd recommend you shop there if your still in need of an iPad. The site is
called BIDSAROO.com. I just checked and it looks like they have one
ending soon and the bid is at $53 so far.
When I signed up they gave me this coupon to give to friends, but I haven't used
it yet. Your more than welcome to use it, but I think it expires tomorrow. It's
good for placing some free bids on any auction. The coupon is: free3042
Hope this helps you!
-Chad
P.S. Here is a little secret I'll pass on to you. Right now there is a glitch/hack
on the site that will allow you to block other people from bidding on the item.
When you place a bid, hold down the enter key until the auction counts down to 0.
This should allow you to win any auction instantly. But I'm not sure how long it
last, I'm sure the site is working on fixing the glitch/hack.

Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 64GB 3G iPad from Craigslist
My name is Arianna and I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
I am selling the ipad for $450 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
The ipad is still available and I hope you are still interested. The ipad was bought brand new from Apple a few weeks ago.
About the ipad I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks. Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad.
The ipad is here with me.
I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it.
Please get back to me and let me know if you like the ipad if you're really interested in buying it.
Thanks,
Arianna

"Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad"
Your $450 gets you *only* what came with the iPad, not the iPad itself.
"the ipad is here with me"
They're just hoping you'll skim over that since it doesn't really make any sense, not until you get the first part anyway...
Deception is fraud, so even though it doesn't say you're actually buying an iPad what they're doing is against the law.

Well also I am in nyc so how would she sell it to me if she's in England?

gotta disagree on that, many user on xda for example put USD and EURO even tho they are in the UK. i do that on Ebay also.

Not being able to do it in person is generally a red flag for me that it's a scam. I couldn't care less if the message comes from the Queen of England.

I don't understand. I once heard someone say that premium Sprint users used to be eligible to upgrade on the year every year instead of 2 years. Didn't they cancel that?
Who is it hurting to let someone upgrade when they please? I don't understand these telecom politics!

Tmobile;s offer to pay my ETF's is very tempting. Only issue is I have to give them my One for the deal and am only offered 106 bones for a phone in superb condition. I cant see selling my one for that price, then pay carrier price for a GSM HTC one . Was eyeing the Nexus 5 but has no wifi calling option with tmobile
I Am getting sick of saying "are you still there". So used to this crap network, even a pause in the convo I auto think connection dropped once again! And the LTE rollout is not all what is cracked up to me. Very disapointed but still holding strong for now, not sure how much longer i will, wife is begging to leave sprint!!
Not a sprint hating post, just a little rant is all. Called sprint to tell them Tmobile would buy me paying the ETA.s could you please drop 2 lines no longer used, they wouldnt budge. SO instead of keeping me with 2 lines, they would rather have tmobile pay etf's for my 4 lines and have me move on i guess.

Sprint still has the program...well sort of. They call it EasyPay rather than OneUp. Basically the same clusterf#ck but with a different name and is tied to the Framily plan. Still a decent deal...if service was better. You can have yearly upgrades by getting the $20 unlimited data option which we have now anyways. No offense to Tmo fans but Tmo is worst than Sprint here where i live...and
via sexy phONE.

So...since I did the One Up thing...in November when it is time for me to "one up", I'm screwed because the plan no longer exists?! This is some real s***t! Lure me in to upgrading once per year, my phone bill goes up by $10/month, and then yank the plan out from under me?
Are current one up subscribers SOL? Or are we grandfathered in?

It all about cash flow I got about $2000 in my phone fund and have a few phones if I paid cash for every one I wouldn't to up grade as often as I do.

Not to be the one who says it, but that's sort of a **** thing to say. Not everybody has $700.00 to drop on a phone all at once. A lot of people are basically financing their phones when they go through a carrier anyways.

I gotta agree with this guy. I understand zero percent financing and all, but for someone to pay for the phone with PayPal credit is outrageous. Its like 27% interest.

BillMeLater turned into PayPal Credit. They still offer no interest for 6 month deals, but its not a blanket offer like BillMeLater was. There are inclusions, exclusions, and tons of fine print.
BTW, I overstated. The fine print for the APR reads:
"The Annual Percentage Rate is 19.99%"
(which is still outrageously high)

My last two phones I brought full price from T-Mobile. I brought a Samsung Note 3 and The phone I have now LG G3. I just didnt want to pay full price this time around.

I've ordered stuff on PayPal credit and I always get 6 months no interest no matter what. I pay it off way before that anyway so it's not a big deal.
So what if you finance it through Motorola if you are good with money you pay it off.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Just use T-Mobile and finance.
G3

You can't finance through PayPal unless the seller accepts PayPal. I could be wrong but I don't think the Play Store does. Verizon doesn't or any of the other carriers. Your only shot is Motorola if and when they decide to. Unless you can pick up a new one on EBay or Swappa for a reasonable price. You know how that goes guys say they are new but there not + no warranty unless you get a carrier to honor it.

I didn't mean to sound like a jerk when I posted that response last night. If you have 0% interest for 12 or 18 months and you pay it off without getting penalized for late payments or whatever, it's a good deal. On the other hand, if you are planning to pay off the phone with a credit card that charges a ridiculous interest like 10 - 30%, I would agree that it's not a wise choice. In the end, it's really none of my business to tell anyone how to purchase a phone. Sometimes, if you want the latest and greatest phone, you'll do just about anything to get it.

tmobile return policy

I'm curious and wondered if anyone had any experience with trying to return a device after the 15/20 day window?
I'm at 29 days an want to return my note.
Anyone know how much fees associated with this? I still have my note 3 which was fully paid for.
Or, if there was a way to get outta any huge cancelation fees. I read the terms an it's was upwards of $200 +/- to end things on the payment plan early. But with it being so close, I was hoping NOT to have those.
Any suggestions?

You can also pay off your EIP then sell it on swappa. Might lose 100 bucks but it's still better than the cancellation fee.

Well, I actually have the edge. I posted over here cuz I know not many ppl have the edge an wanted a faster response. Yea, I'm lazy. Lol
An no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my phone. I love the edge bro.
The REASON I'm wanting to return my tmobile edge is to switch to Sprint. PLEASE NO COMMENTS.
I've had sprint before, and already know how stupid they can be...it's more a financial decision. It would say me a bit of money to do it Is all.

It's best if you Google image search it, it's basically a note 4 with a curved screen and some extra features. Beautiful device wish I had one but I decided against the extra 100$ that it costs over the note 4.

I gotta say WOW. I changed from Sprint and saved about $100/month on the 5 lines I have (existing stupid contract agreements really made a mess when all the carriers came out with the "4 lines for 100 bucks" stuff). They wouldn't give me the same deal that a new customer gets even tho I had 15 years with em. In the end, I got away, save $100/month and made over $600 on top of it.
I originally got the Xperia Z3 when I came to T-Mobile. I'll say it's the best phone I had save for one thing I couldn't overlook...the Messaging app SUCKED (No threaded Group SMS, Pic messages with text added didn't send or receive...just a mess). I had bought it online. I sent it back at day 20 and was fine (but 21 days is only for online order).
Best bet will be sell on Swappa. T-Mobile will hit ya hard if you try to return. I'm sure you'll get a restocking fee and get about half the device's value (I think the most they pay our on ANY phone is lie $400). I've sold 3 phones on Swappa and did way better than I would have done on trade-in.
What you COULD try to do is check if the phone was broken if you could use JUMP to pay off the EIP. If they allow it, you'd have to pay the process fee. Not sure if they would go for that though.

[Q] Not being charged EIP?

Ordered my note 4 about 2 weeks after it's release. I've just gotten what I think is my 5th, at least the 4th, bill. I've yet to be charged an EIP payment. It even says there is no EIP on the account. Is it possible TMO screwed up and gave me a free phone? I know I've had plenty of screwups with them before, just never on the positive side for me. Anyone else ever have an issue like this? I don't want to bring it to their attention if they don't know, that's be dumb. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Wow, this is an interesting one. I work at tmobile. I can tell you that you would have signed an EIP agreement when you purchased the phone if you got it in store. This agreement would show how many payments you are making over the next 24 months for the phone. If you never got one of those, and you have a receipt for the full price of the phone, i think you should take the money and run haha, that sounds like a free phone. If you wish for someone to check the account without charging you for the mistake - I can give it a little overview when I get in today at 1pm PST - you'll have to PM me tho, these are private matters and I still need to follow the rules haha.

Haven't been on in a while but wanted to come back and say this is now my 7TH bill! No EIP payment anywhere. What the hell do I do? I wonder if it has anything to do with me being a customer back when phones were subsidized still? Just very strange and don't want to bring it to their attention if I don't have to, they've screwed me before so...
BTW, I didn't pay full price only the taxes when I ordered online, I believe I electronically signed an EIP but no receipt for full payment obviously though. It does show on the TMO website as being available for use with them, which, it obviously already is.

Worth a try. Check the imei on their website to see if it says anything about it being owed. Or on my tmobile under billing. It shows what phone you have financed and how much you owe and paymemts left.

It says in billing I have no EIP on this account. Maybe I'll pick up the Gear S just to see what they say about the EIP and to play with it for a few days. Hmm..

I think the same thing just happened to me. I Pre-Ordered the Galaxy S7 Edge on T-Mobile, and it arrived on February 29th. I have now received my 2nd bill and they still haven't charged me for the phone, and the account doesn't list an active EIP on my line.
If I went to the phone section to try an upgrade it said "You are a Jump Customer. You are ineligible to jump because you have no Active Equipment Installment Plan" Since they said I couldn't jump I proceeded to take Jump off of my line and the next day when I go to the same page, there is a large "Upgrade" button next to the picture of the S7. Is that basically a confirmation that I own this phone and T-Mobile screwed the pooch?
