Meet the seller at the voice carrier you plan to turn on the service with. Have them run the phones serial numbers and confirm its not stolen/locked.
If it checks out with the phone co. then go for it

alright cool, I already contacted him as well, as I wrote in my second post, there was no website included in the seller's reply, nor any further information on payment options. So I concluded that there's something not quite right about it.
SCAM !!!
Read his letter carefully. He offers white iPhones 4.
The price is EUR600 for 3 phones = $260 per iphone iPhone 4. It's impossible - you can easily sell unlocked iphones4 for $500+.
If it were true I would have bought 50-100 pcs.
for my retail business.He also offers to pack everything before you pay

yeah, that's precisely the same mail I got from that guy. Word for word. As soon as I read them offering white Iphones, I deleted that mail. Now that I read it more carefully none of it is making any sense at all.
