What can i do if someone scammed me?

I recently bought an iphone 7 plus on facebook from someone, i drove an hour to get it, payed $600 for it. They said it was unlocked and had sprint before. Now i tried connecting it to my line and it says it's locked. Is there anything i can do? Anything at all? I do understand it's my fault and i could of easily avoided this and i learned my lesson, but i don't want to let them get away with it and not be able to use the phone.

You just bought stolen property. That means that you can't do anything about it.

Who pays $600 for a phone when a new one cost about the same?

Yes

Contact them to ask for the unlock if they don't reply file the complaint.

File a police report

  • What can I do about getting scammed for an iPhone 8? I met a lady off Facebook who was selling an "iPhone 8" for 400$. It worked and such when she showed me it. I connected to Wi-Fi when I got home and I found out it's fake because it won't download apps and it doesn't have iTunes. It's worthless and I wasted 400$. Can I report her to the police? What can they do? I don't know her personally bc I found her on the market place on Facebook. I went back to message her and she blocked me!
