Description
The scammer advertised itself as an online phone buyer company. I sent them an open-box S24 Plus (MSRP $999) with an agreed sale price of $520. Upon receiving the phone, they gave a lowball offer which I refused to take. They then told me my phone will be shipped back to me by USPS and provided the tracking number xxxxxxxxxx on Oct 7, 2024. But they never delivered the phone to USPS. When I reached out to them, they gave me an excuse that they were collating all returns to be shipping in bulk. Now it has been over 50 days since the shipping label was created and the phone is still in their possession.
