Is it racist that I read his response in a Somalian accent?

Scam Giveaways:
Certified Check
Starting and ending with the word OK
Movers coming for the pickup

Yeah, why would you need movers for a phone?

Clearly scripted messages.

Only scammers say OK that much. Ok? = Scam.

What’s the angle? He wants you to ship the phone thinking the check is in the mail?

1) They get a cashier's check for whatever you tell them to get it for.
2) They then get the cashier's check canceled as "lost or stolen".
3) They send you the cashier's check.
4) You, thinking that you have a cash equivalent non-cancelable instrument in hand, send them the item.
5) You are then fricked.
6) By the time you and the banks know anything's up, they and your item are long gone.

Cashiers checks are not certified funds

You want to send certified funds?

Wire it and give me a FED ID #

Often times it’s not about item but getting your account info

Tell him to frick off and you’ll call the police and they’ll track him. I did that to a scammer once and I swear he shite his pants.

Sent this to the one in the OP, let's see how dumb he really thinks people are.

PayPal scam


Complains that he never received the item and hopes you weren't smart enough to require a signature?
