I think the same guy is trying to scam us all.
I posted the add looking for my lost camera. I lost it in Miami airport traveling to New Jersey couple days ago.
Today I received the phone call that the guy who introduced himself as Michael Jarwin. 270-317-7909
He said he bought my camera from "the black kid" at the airport. He asked me to describe the camera to him, as well as to describe the pictures. He said that he realized the camera was stolen because there were pictures of white people in the camera. He figured out that I was white because of my Russian accent. Being stupid and naive I was describing pictures to him in great detail. He confirmed that it was camera. I said that I would pay him the money that he paid for the camera and more. He replied something like: "Don't worry, I will make sure that you pay me". That is when it hit me. I asked him to describe what else was in the case, he mumbled, like I see in many comments here, and said that he had no time for this, and hung up the phone. I called him back with no answer.I texted him asking to call me back. He did call back a few minutes later and said that the was talking to his wife about this... I stopped and asked him if there was a picture of my grandma, an old lady sitting in the chair (This picture wasn't were. I just made it up). He said: "Yes, there is a picture of an old lady sitting on the chair". That's when I realized that my gut feeling did not fail me. He also said that he was from Illinois. I think he purposely calls people with out-of-state numbers to tell them that he is in another state, so no one can actually meet him in person. By the way, his phone is registered in Kentucky.
Please be careful. Beware of this scam artist. Good luck to all of you finding your lost items!
