After exchanging electronic mail messages with the seller, the buyer agreed to meet the seller at a Walgreens parking lot in North St. Louis County. After he purchased the cellphone for $125, the buyer tried to activate the phone the next day, but Verizon informed him that it was reported as a lost or stolen phone and it could not be activated.
