[Discussion] Someone Scammed Me!

[RobertRamirez]

Recently, I bought the Samsung Galaxy s3 off someone on a Facebook group. After a bout a month of using it, it stopped working so I brought it to AT&T. They told me that the person had reported the phone stolen and is now blacklisted. What I was wondering was if I can report the person to the police or charge him with fraud? I only have his number which seems to be a textplus number and I can kind of remember how he looks like but other than that nothing else. Would police help further investigate or would it just be a waste of time? Please let me know! :nuts::NO:

Suck it up.

 

[Calpal]

damn what a ****.
idk what you do about that, except keep your eyes peeled and give him a nice flogging when you see him

first let the police knw about it before the person from whom s3 was stolen goes n lodges complaint ...

You should create a contingency plan for situations like this.

 

[Optimistic]

You should start a world war.

 

[unholygod]

there is two things you are forced to do.
one give the phone to the police.
two report them what happen.
if you know the Facebook group the police will check it out and see what they can do.

not to be mean or anything but why did you buy it from facebook?

That's a civil issue, not a criminal issue. Someone being smarter than you isn't a crime. Nor is society going to kiss your scraped knee due to stupidity.

 

[kunde]

didnt u think its original user frm whom it was stolen can lodge a complaint?

 

[notoriousrod]

Ugh that's happened to me before. Not the best feeling.

Police might help you if you could describe the person 100% accurately,but then there will be questions from them like did you know him?how did you go in contact?
It was best for you to have actually bought one from an official store,still those guys know how to disappear.
It is your choice man whether you report him or not,maybe the police can help.

 

[unholygod]

You should start a world war.

umm the world war for the mobile phone?

ummmmmmm.............
Don't count me in!

 

[Ultimatum]

I say you go bomb his house.

 

[markdabomb22]

Don't retaliate, be reasonable find his family kill them all and set them a flame. Then take a shit on the lawn and moon walk away from the scene.

WOW lmao sucks to suck maybe you shouldnt put so much faith into buying a phone from a facebook group god i mean did you not think of a back up plane you could have taken a picture of his face something smh.
I feel sorry for you but at the same time stupidity happens

 

[Braveknight]

gz for being stupid to fall for this sh1t dude. never belive something that costs like 1k dolar for 150dolars.

 

[Ultimatum]

That's a civil issue, not a criminal issue. Someone being smarter than you isn't a crime. Nor is society going to kiss your scraped knee due to stupidity.

Hey OP, if you want to know why no one is taking you serious, then this is why.=D
