Used iphone on Craigslist, scam?

[rivet]

Hi,

I am looking for a good price used iphone, then I saw this on local craigslist,

http://kingston.en.craigslist.ca/ele/760271479.html

price looks too good to me, what do I need to pay attention when buying these used phones. I don't have a Rogers sim card, so can not test it.


Thanks,

Probably last gen, not the new 3G.
