I was scammed online
Ok so I need help / advice.
I'm from the UK and I'm 18 and wanted some extra cash, so I decided to sell my old IPhone 6S that had a cracked screen, I went online and found a webiste that was verified and had good reviews, they told me they would buy it for £60 including them paying for shipping fees and that the money would be in my account within 2 weeks. So everything was fine, I posted my phone. Fast forward about 1 month and still no money or any emails? Then fast forward 2 months and still nothing? So i decided to email them and turns out there's only one guy that replies to the emails called Will. So i asked what happened and he was acting like they never bought anything from me. Bear in mind I never received a confirmation email so i litreally had NO proof. Apart from the receipt number that the lady gave me when I posted my phone. So it went back and forth with him and after about 3 months he contacted hermes and told me they lost my package and they can give you £20 in compensation. I ALSO contacted hermes and they said he received the package. Its been about 6 months now and still I always email him and he just does not reply to me, hermes in the UK is so **** too, I tried contacting them on twitter and they don't reply, originally i contacted them on some live chat service and now i can't even find it, and even then its people who don't speakers good english trying to assist me which is very frustrating, should I call the police or take him to court or speak to a lawyer?
You gave him your phone. It was a nice gesture by you. Now stop hustling him.
Contact action fraud, but it's not much money so I doubt if anything will happen.
Solicitor if its free. 40 pound isn't much to sue over.
the law is that once the package is provably received, the company [recipient] is responsible for it. They have duty to discover in reasonable time that it is or isn't as agreed. Them losing it is their problem and you should receive the full 60 pound.
sadly, court isn't free… Which makes one wonder if filing the suit is worth doing
Call the police, but don't expect much to come out of it.
