How to ask a Craiglist buyer to prove they are not a scammer?

I'm selling an iPad on Craiglist and I got an email asking if it still available. I don't want to get scammed, so how can I ask the Craiglist buyer to prove that they are not a scammer? Thanks.

You think the ipad is ok?

When using my ipad, I clicked on a link contained in an email (I know, I shouldn't have). It took me to a page that obviously was a phishing site, then came page 2 of it. Naturally the page was looking for all kinds of personal information, which I did NOT give. I simply closed the page.
I'm told by many that ipads just don't get viruses, nor would it have gotten anything malicious. How I discovered this was a malicious site was when I tried it with my desktop,& my Kaspersky blocked it saying the site was "malicious". My tech says the Kaspersky was doing it's job & that my pc is just fine, which made me wonder about my ipad. One person said that when I clicked on the link I COULD have allowed something to get on the ipad & what was on it could be discovered. Another said that wasn't true. I changed everything on the ipad.passwords, etc.etc. Then I took it one step further… I reset the ipad back to the factory settings. The ipad wasn't doing anything strange at all, but I felt more comfortable by restoring the settings. What's your opinion? Do you think the ipad is ok?

Would it be just like new again?

I had a bit of a scare with my ipad a few days ago, but Apple support has assured me that it would be very very unlikely that my ipad contracted a virus or anything malicious because the ipads are so heavily encrypted.
I decided to restore the ipad back to its factory settings, which I understand makes the ipad just like new. IF there was a virus or anything malicious on it, would that be gone now that I've done the restore?
Thanks in advance.

Disposable wipes for screens?

Where can I get disposable wipes for phone and iPad?
I've been to internet, phone parts shops but I can't find those easy use disposable wipes for screens. The only ones available is this product where you have a spray bottle cleaner and two different small cloths for wiping depending on the electronic material surface it goes with. I want the disposable wipes not spraying on some stupid reusable cloth where you reinvite particles and and other stuff you wiped off from the first times you used it. They don't sell it in some supermarkets either as the item is unavailable even on the websites, nor can I easily obtain it from a place like eBay or Amazon.

Why can't I connect my iPhone to my tv?

I use the Verizon fios app to watch shows that I have recorded. When I connect my iPhone or iPad to my tv with an HDMI cable, it won't let me use the app because it thinks I'm trying to capture the video or something. Has anyone else had this problem or know a way to get around the issue? It would be nice to be able to watch it on a bigger screen.

What exactly is a person's Apple ID on an ipad?

I'm with the impression that the email address attached to the Apple Account on the ipad is the Apple I.D.

Am I correct that they didn't get what they were after?

An Apple ID on the ipad is an email address. Say your email for Apple ID is 'johnsmith@anytown.com"., but you receive an email at another email address (not the same of course). The email tells you that there has been unauthorized login to your Apple Account. You click on a link.(remember, you are not in the same account as the correct Apple ID) You then plug in the incorrect email address with a p/w. That p/w is not related to the email address. It says "this account is locked". Then there's a veryify your account button., which then produces a page that asks for all kinds of personal information. YOU DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING! You close the page. Considering you have not given any information, & the email address was wrong, (not attached to Apple) am I correct that they didn't get what they were after?

I need fun activities to help my friend fight hospitalization boredom. Thoughts?

I want him to fight hospital boredom. He's in a wheel chair, but is decently mobile. He has a computer, iPad, Netflix, and books. But that can only entertain him for so long. He also likes to move around so he's getting antzy.

So, do you have any ideas for…

- Fun board games that could exercise his mind? (not basic things like chess, checkers, connect four, etc.).
- Games we could play with balls?
- Any game that involves hand movement?
- Anything else?
