I ordered something online but never received it

I bought an Iphone 7 plus on a domain hosted by shopify. So I spent about 500 dollars way cheaper than app store. Yea, it was a stupid idea buy it on an unknown website. I tried to contact the website owner but he doesn't reply and the website he made has been deleted. Will I be able to get my money back? Should I report this to the cops?

You will never get that money back nor your "phone"

You can only get your money back if you paid with a CREDIT (not debit) card or Paypal Goods & Services and file a dispute with that company
The police won't do anything. If the site is no longer up they have no way to trace the person. And I can guarantee the scammer was overseas meaning the police have no jurisdiction anyway

  • Ordered a phone online & they said I had credit bureau discrepancies? I ordered an iPhone from a reputable company & today they emailed me saying: "Some discrepancies came up as we were processing your order through the Credit Bureau. We can't process your order until these discrepancies are cleared by presenting two pieces of photo identification in store." What do you think they mean by discrepancies? Is this normal protocol for online orders?
