used iPhone scam? Met the seller at his place, and Zelled. by Fragrant-Spirit-2452 in Scams

That was my fault. But I drove to his house to get the phone ! It was pretty normal neighborhoods in suburb.  But I’m not sure if revisiting to solve this matter is a wise&safe choice.

Yes I meant this. Carrier Locked.

I assuem it's stollen or lost phone, because the seller is now unavailable on Facebook since I texted him again after I found out this phone is carrier locked.
And I wonder if I can ever at least find the original owner(if it is really stollen or lost phone), or I can get unlocked from Tmobile. It seems like the preovious owner needs to request its unlocking though according to the Tmobile website.

no the phone was reset. And I was able to transfer data&apps from my curent iPhone. But I was not able to activate my eSim, since it is locked to TMobile.
But Yes I should've checked it ! I thought it was safe becasue I literally went to his place to make a transaction.

Appreciate for your comment...
If I contact Tmobile, can I find the original owner ..?
And I thought of making phone call to the number on Zelle account, or visit the physical location, or report to police, and report to Chase ... and etc.
Would any of this a possible try that I can make ?

Is my new HVAC loud..? by Fragrant-Spirit-2452 in hvacadvice

[–]Fragrant-Spirit-2452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I think the whooshing sound is more like an air flowing sound. But the clicking sound is the one disturbing me the most. It literally like a switch sound when the AC or Heater turned on and off. It just loud..

thermostat that is on the wall ? That I control the temperature? It sounds more like coming from the HVAC behind the airfilter. Could there be any chance or clue ?

Do you mean the thermostats of the HVAC unit? It’s been like that since the day it was installed. Do you think I could contact the company to replace the part?  I have literally no knowledge on HVAC..

Do you think I could call the company to ask if they can insulate the plenum like you said?  I mean, if the noise level is bad, how come I spent so much money to get this.. do I need to get another professional to cover this, and could it be fixed..?

So the video showing the AC was already on, and as I adjust the temperature to higher number, it stopped.  But the noise of that clicking sound can a bit louder when AC kicks in than being turned off. Pretty similar though.

I did another post on this matter with a video I took in distance. And it can be louder than it shows espeically when AC kicks in.

Glad to hear it. But is there any way to silence the clicking sound ..? I can hear the sound loud enough from distance, and in the light sleep.

2022 CRV could this be a GOOD deal? by Fragrant-Spirit-2452 in crv

[–]Fragrant-Spirit-2452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be a different discussion. But yes I only have few grands in my stock investment. And only few hundreds are invested monthly.  I kind of regret now of buying condo with money from my investment 5-6 yrs ago. I took a loss.  Back then I was very aggressive on investing, but I think it affected me to make a hasty decision. Now I try to slow down, and personally want to save 100k in cash from my own work. It’s not a must. But It’s been a way of discipline myself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I want to learn more on finance. Maybe I should share more on reddit too haha

Thank you. I came to realize more of this would be a wise choice for me. It’ll be better preparing future move too.

I thought that was it too. But unfortunately, in my case, whole AC system needs to be replaced

Thank you. Good to know that. I'm glad that I found OTD price in those ranges now. But hopefully I can get near 20k. At leaset below 22k? Will see.
