I think I've come across a Craigslist scammer, what do I do?

I emailed a guy about an iPhone 5s used for $95 (the post was 3 hours old), and he emailed back saying:

"Hello a guy bought this from me, but I can tell you where I got it from.
I got 3 of these from quibauctions.com and I resold them for some extra money.
The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. That's what I do and I win most of the time.

All the best
Kyle"
