    <\/span>Safety Tips When You Buy Used iPhones on Kijiji<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Most people are awesome but a select few, are not! The widely covered example is that of Tim Bosma\u2019s tragic loss of life when selling his pickup truck on Kijiji<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regrettably, iPhones<\/a> have also seen a number of robbery attempts including a 2017 grab and run incident turned violent in Mississauga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another less talked risk on Kijiji is fraud. We will go over that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As unfortunate as it is for the victims, the silver lining is that we can learn from past incidents and stop it from happening to us. We\u2019ll show you how to stay safe and spot a fraudulent seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/span>Common Scams to look out for<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Clone\/Fake phones \u2013 <\/strong>A clone has a distinct feeling that is immediately recognizable in the hand. Visually, its sometimes hard to make out the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We recommend spending a moment at the apple store with the same model phone in your hand so you can know what it should feel like when you meet your seller. If you can\u2019t make it to the apple store, maybe a friend has one that you can take a look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another clue is the price. If it\u2019s too good to be true, might be a good idea to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
