Scammed on Craigslist. Can I get my money back?

I made the mistake of buying an iPhone 4 on Craigslist. The guy had told me nothing was wrong with the phone, and the pictures looked fine. So after a few texts back and forth, I met with him at a nearby mall, and I checked out the phone, and then bought it for $200. After setting up the phone, I realized that when i'm on a call, the other person couldnt hear me. After trying to fix the phone myself, and even taking it into the Apple store, it still doesn't work. I'm only sixteen years old, so $200 is a lot to me. I want my money back. I texted the guy who sold me the phone, and she didn't respond. Is there any way i'm able to involve the police, so I rightfully get my money back?

No.
You have to be 18+ to use Craigslist anyway.

Nothing you can do. Its buyer beware when buying used stuff off sites like craigslist.

  • One scammed me and used the money on my iTunes card? So I play this app on the iPhone and I bought an iTunes card and we were supposed to exchange an account for the card but he took the card number and he didn't give me the account. I know that I should have known better but what should I do now? What can I do about it?
  • Is there anyway I can get my money back or find the person who scammed me? I got offered a iPhone 6 for £200 from a company in London and all I had to do was pay some money and I d have it in a week (today) and now everytime I ring up the number isn't found but the man gave me some bank details and a name so is there anything I can do
  • If I sold a iPhone to gamestop can I get it back by giving them their money back? I sold a iPhone 5 to gamestop. Right when i did it, i got all these other offers for more money on craigslist. It is possible for me to go back to the store and get it back if i refund them their whole money back?
  • I've been scammed on Craigslist? Some posted a ad on Craigslist selling an iPhone and the they said they were in a different state I send them money thru money gram and they never shipped the phone can I get my money back and get them arrested all I have is their state and name thank you
