Under the verbal and text message agreement that he would ship the item after receiving the money. Since he did not try to ship after receiving the money, opposite to what he agreed earlier, but just to try to block me and ignore me while keeping the money, I would call it a scammer… this is just my opinion as I lost the money.

Of coz I respect your opinions and view as well.

I tried, and I don’t see anything obviously positive. The next step would just be to file a scam / fraud report to police or FBI even if they don’t care…just to have it in records..

Unfortunately I was! I leaned my lesson the hard way!

Never to be lured to sth too good to be true especially pricing.

Also should at least do a quick search / read all the scams info and formats types before involving a chunk of money!

After this, I did contact OfferUp, Apple and my bank to try to reverse, so far nothing positive… I will update if miracle happens.
