So I bought an iPhone 6 Plus off someone off RFD in November. They had good feedback, so we meet at a gas station close to me.

sellers

Hello, I've been a 'victim' of a very unusual scam where the seller agrees to meet the buyer (myself in all instances), and upon arriving at the agreed upon location the seller simply blocks buyer's number and does not show up.
