Ok, He has again stopped replying or taking calls the moment I said I don't need the phone just give me the money.

SMS him that if he does not call you by such & such time, you are going to post his address on the forum for all to see :@

i am sure he will start taking your calls again :bleh:
 
@ Rohit----- I have PMed u also.....send me his address and mobile/contact no. A landline no will help in case he has parents living with him.

Remember he might dump his sim soon....so try and get the details asap...preferably registered address, bank address details etc !

He's F****** with you. He doesn't give a hoot about you. Complain to the police cyber cell. Make his personal details available his Facebook profile, address, phone number.

The internet is a powerful tool to destroy somebody.

Maybe you could write a letter addressed to Mr. or better yet, Mrs. <Ironsman's last name> hoping that his father/mother gets a hold of it. .

Oh man! My first girlfriend's mom did that. =/ Sneaky i tell you
 
@Kniwor the guy doesn't have money.
And now he is avoiding you like plague.

I think personally you should have opted to take the phone and paid him the remaining 4K amount only after selling it on TE or ebay.

Atleast with that phone in hand you would have had a leverage. Even now i feel take the phone.

Best way is to ask suspecting people to do ebay listing. I always advocate that. Still try your luck other wise you can always post us his address and we can try our hands :@
 
No, I am not letting him go. Even if I don't get the money, I will ensure that if he decides to con me, he ends up paying more than 7k for that.
 
This guy has sent me an email as of yesterday and says:

Hello buddy,

First of apology for what has happened, I have spoken to kniwor about a deal, I have a Samsung Spica i5700 (Android phone), i am selling it for 11K, it is just a week old new phone with bill and all accessories.

Kniwor has 90% agreed to buy the phone, he has asked me to send the pic tonite, he will look at those pics and finalize he deal then his friend in Bangalore will pick up the phone, Kniwor will then transfer 4250/- to ur account and i will transfer the remaining.

all these deal will be done max by Saturday morning.

Please bear with me for 2 more days, i request you buddy.

i will solve this, I promise

thnks for ur patience.

I've replied him and asked him how/when will he repay if kniwor doesn't take the phone. Moreover, lets see how this whole thing goes... I've given him 2 days.

No, I am not letting him go. Even if I don't get the money, I will ensure that if he decides to con me, he ends up paying more than 7k for that.

Totally man, that's exactly what I have in my mind. I won't sit quite n idle after someone steals money from me, I'd do something bout it.

indeed the landline does serve its purpose well! :P you know this well :P

@Khimera are you in Bangalore or Mysore?

Now if Rohit takes the SPica from him that solves his problem what about lethal??? He also needs to get back his money. Lethal you could ask ironman to pay you back whatever money he has on him for now.

Looking at the way things are going it looks like the phone the phone ironman listed wasnt his.

@kniwor and lethal
you both transfered money to ironman or to his cousin or friend?
 
The phone ironman listed indeed wasn't his. It was his cousin's phone as he says. The money was transferred in ironman's account though so he is responsible person.

An it is amazing how this forum works, really appreciate the feedback from everyone in thread. And the fact that Khimera, Sandy and Supra offered to step in and help, thanks a ton guys, Khimera specially.

The phone, Samsing Spica is in Khimera's possession now, the guy just handed it over to him. So we know all is not lost. We can now work on getting the money back for lethal also, it appears that he will transfer the money after-all. In any case, we have more than enough details on him. Name/Address/Bank Acc Details, and my friend in vodafone has all details related to his cell phone number also.

A few things now,

1) What is the phone worth really? I have not the slightest clue, he says 11k. Is it really worth that much?

2) I don't really need the phone, but don't mind buying it and gifting it to a friend whose B'day is coming up soon. So please suggest. (but will need something for my mom again... duh..)

@lethal

You should have consulted me before sending him the money. He tried to post something else in the thread, ask you for more money than he quoted and clearly looked unscrupulous. Had you done that we wouldn't end up in this.
 
Mtbalu just told me he bought a new spica for 11750 some time back. I am infact considering to purchase the same phone and will visit the market for latest price in a day or two
 
spica sells for 11.5 -12 , with the mem card. so hopefully that is present too ... do check if all is working and is not bricked :P
and lethal seriously if a seller is saying he has to stop a previous sale with another guy , you should have been more careful and talked to the other person

Guys I do agree that I goofed up at little-bit in this trade. But it all happened after seller assured me that he will cancel deal with kniwor and send me the phone instead. I trusted his words and took it for granted that nothing will go bad, everything he said sounded very promising. That's where I was wrong... and I am sorry for all that has happened, I wish it hadn't.

But looks like things are getting back on track... I got a call from him about an hour back [surprisingly he called me this time] saying he will pay me the remaining amount of 2750 tomorrow. Kniwor will give me 4250.

Lets see how it goes.
 
Really amazing and happy to see bangalore folks Khimera, Sandy and Supra (and anyone else) extend such help. Kudos to u guys
 
Really really appreciate that Sandy, khimera and Supra are helping out on this one.

Thanks guys... i owe you beer! :cheers:

It does seem like a 'bait and switch'

Want to sell something, say its something else, delay, then offer an alternative.
 
@Sandy - Was always in Bangalore :)

@Rest - Phone is in my possession. Called up Kniwor when I was with Ironman. Got a photocopy of the reciept, (He did not have the original with him but he talked to Kniwor and said he can courier it if he wants) box, handsfree, Charger and Datacable. As "claimed", the phone looks 2 months old. The bill says 14,200 including tax. Made a call, got a call,No physical damages(seems few scratches on the screen cover) so as far as this phone goes, i think it is fine. I am going to office now, So will be checking the phone in detail at night. And will be sending it by courier to Kniwor tomorrow

Edit : @Kniwor - Just saw Lethal's message. It is not a week old as claimed. According to the bill it seems to be two months old
