Remember how I sold my iPhone?

...on craigslist? Well it turns out it was a scam in Nigeria. I found out because I got emails from "paypal" that were completely misspelled and not professional I guess. Also, the buyer emailed me saying she sent the money and wants it shipped today. So I checked paypal online and it wasnt there. So anyways, I had another email from paypal saying that when paypal emails you, they will only address you by "Dear, [first name] [last name]" and the email was dear [my email] so I called paypal, read them the email and they said it was fake. Also, the email was saying things like how I had to send the phone, then send "paypal" the tracking number, and then I would get credited. So basically, I emailed the buyer saying the sale was canceled. And yeah, just felt like sharing.

Also, Im not gonna sell the 1st generation iPhone and use that money for the iPhone 3G. I decided that im just going to keep it and buy the 2nd iPhone.

Whoa, at least you caught on before you really got scammed. Sadly this happens to tons of people and they find out when it's way too late.

When I finally do upgrade I will just keep Gen 1 in my car as a permanent MP3 player. So I can continue to watch my movies while I am driving on those long cross country trips.

Smart. We all have future collector's items and don't even realize it yet.

Everything happens for a reason.
