Man scammed while selling iPad on Craigslist

Jacksonville, FL —

Even the most cautious people in the world are not immune to scams.

A Jacksonville man says he did everything to protect himself -- but still got scammed out of 400 dollars when he sold his iPad on Craigslist.

Greg Courtad says he met the buyer at a public place and the buyer paid with cash -- counterfeit cash.

19 out of the 20, 20-dollar bills the scammer gave Courtad had the same serial numbers on them.

Detectives with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office are working with the Secret Service in tracking down who's manufacturing the bogus cash.
