~received pm to offer me a LG G4 at R2900, excellant condition, a year warranty remaining- price was too good to be true

~We start chatting on whatsapp but this guy doesnt give his name, IMEI number or any personal information

~He joined carbonite very recently- doesnt not know how things here work, but has been dealing in business for very long, has "enough money" and recently sold his graphics card to a guy in PE with shipping.

~We agree that I pay 50% deposit upon receiving a tracking number for overnight delivery. Tracking number was sent the next day. I requested bank account details only to be told he left his wallet at home ! He asked to be paid via instant money to his cellphone number.

~I waited till late afternoon and contacted Aramex- I was informed that the tracking number does not correspond to any parcel on there system and it will definitely be there if they had picked it up in the morning.

~The guy starts getting upset with me for not keeping my end of the deal, subsequently deletes whatsapp or cellphone has been switched off.

I have all msgs saved and no other info.

thanks and beware

That's hilarious.

So he deletes and blocks you via Whatsapp, despite having sent you the package already? Riiiiiight. I follow his logic.

/sarcasm

That is vindication that you did the right thing - no seller in his right mind would block someone in a deal when the buyer refuses to pay, after already shipping the item.

Maybe his thinking was something like "Damn this guy for not sending me the deposit after I sent him my phone! I know ! I'll block him! Ha! That will show him!" Now the real twist would be if the OP really got the phone

if (lowBaller || scammer) {ignore = true;}

Boolean variables should start with is. More descriptive. Just saying [emoji4]

Besides, if either true, I would prefer to throw an exception [emoji12]

This one I wrote when I was bored as hell the other day

If _potentialBuyer.Offer <> _itemForSale.Price.AskingPrice Then
	If Not isNegotiable(_itemForSale.Price.Status) Then
		_potentialBuyer.Tolerance = "Ignore"
	Else
	Select Case _potentialBuyer.Offer.Difference
		Case <= 10% 		
			_potentialBuyer.Tolerance = "Reply"
		Case > 10% And < 15% 		
			_potentialBuyer.Tolerance = "Reply"
			_negotiation.Status = "AttemptRenegotiate"
		Case > 15%
			_potentialBuyer.Tolerance = "Reply"
			_negotiation.Status = "ForceRenegotiate"
		Case Else
			_potentialBuyer.Tolerance = "Ignore"
	End Select
	End If
End if
