Hi everyone,
I was scammed last weekend out of $600. I’m 17 and saved up all this year to get a new phone for my mom. When I saw it on offer up I got really excited. The app showed that it was in my area but it really was not, the guy was in Ohio but I did not think it mattered because it was such a good deal and the exact color I wanted. I messaged the guy and he asked for my number and then messaged me from outside the app. He was Facebook verified and has years of 5 star reviews so I thought it was safe. He told me to send $600 For his phone. On his profile he says he’ll accept half up front and after receiving it, he’ll ship it and you can send the other half. I thought somehow that would mean I was protected. Anyway I’m only 17 and you need to be 18 to make a Google Pay account (he asked for google pay because he does not have paypal). I gave money to and asked my older sister to send him the money (she also did not know this man was a scammer) . I get the package and it was a tire pump. The guy stopped responding. We already contacted google and they will not return the money. I also had my sister make a claim with her bank but it was a debit card so she does not think they will fight with Google for this. I feel so lost and sad I have not been able to get any sleep. I can’t believe people would do this especially during this time. We contacted the police In Dayton Ohio (where the guy shipped from) and am waiting to hear back to file a police report. The scammers phone number is <snipped phone number - KLG>. We ran a report on him on BenVerified and we got a name and address in Dayton Ohio but IDK how accurate it is.

Re: Scammed with google pay out of $600
Hi Bg,
first of all, I'm terribly sorry this happened to you. I strongly encourage you to visit our sister site, Scamwarners, and post your story there. They have members who are experienced in this type of thing and can help you.
I've snipped out the phone number as our forum rules do not allow posting of numbers before we've been able to verify the scam. A 17 year old buying a phone for their mother is a wonderful and kindhearted thing to do. It's heartbreaking to see these scams take advantage of good people. Unfortunately, he talked you into using a method of contact and payment that was outside of the app, which is a common way for scammers to operate. Again, I'm very sorry this happened to you.
Please contact Scamwarners and let them know - they are better prepared to offer advice.
