Description of Bad Deal:
Was poking around at some CPU's and responded to one, subsequently got a PM from this guy saying he had one for a decent price. He gave me his WhatsApp number to chat with him and we organised the deal, he was very chatty via voicenotes and messages leading up to the deal. Arrangement was to PostNet it to me. Now here is where my trust and good nature gets the best of me, I do an EFT and he says something about needing an instant EFT so he can buy an i5 from someone the same day. Now I'm trusting him because he knows what he's talking about, he's chatty, has a picture of his baby daughter up on his WhatsApp and when he said he was "busy in the server room" it legit sounded like a server room... So I do another instant EFT and ask him to please refund me when he gets the first payment. He was super grateful and kept chatting to me.
Now a few days later and still no confirmation from PostNet and I have been completely ghosted by him. He was a new user (as am I) and I was definitely stupid but just sucks that this stuff happens. Seems like he's deleted his profile now as well. I have his bank account info, his cell and his email, not sure what good this could do me but I'm gonna see what I can do...
