Vahram Dughestani Scammed buying iphone. Vancouver, British Columbia

Like many other people on this site, I have been scammed. This is what happened. I have been buying phones from a guy I met on craigslist Vancouver for 3 times already. Each time he is able to supple me with 3 to 10 phones (whether it's blackberry or iphones). It's always we meet in person and I hand over the cash while he hands over the phones. As usual, he called me on Sunday Night and said he got another shipment of 12 iphones coming in on Tues (Mar.31 09), but this time he requires me to pay him $450 x 12phones in advance as a deposit on Mar 30. To reassure me, he said he'll give me 2 pieces of ID ( SIN and WASHINGTON driver's license). I said I will think about it and the max. I can pay (if terms are agreed on) was $3000.

After 5 mins, he txted me and say He trusts me and tell me to pay him $3000). I said I'll think about it, and he just went ahead and paid his friend (if there is such person) Later when I called him saying that this is too suspicious, he claims that he already PAID his friend and that there is no way to breach the contract. After much thinking, I decided to pay him $3000 for deposit.
