Hi everyone, I tried to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge a few days ago and apparently I got scammed. I sent the amount of P20,000 (~$420-440) while still in contact with Kristina. First, she sent me a picture of a carbon-copy slip from the shipping company that was lacking 1 digit for tracking the parcel. So I thought this was legit and the day after after I sent the money, I could still contact her- she would say that I didn't have anything to worry about since she said she had already sent the phone and she would return to the shipping company and asks to why I can't trace the shipment. After that I could no longer get in touch with her.
I'm still a college student so coming up with this kind of amount of money isn't that fast and easy, but I do understand that this is my fault and I'm just posting this to let others be wary from this scammer.
-for those saying, "Why couldn't you meet up with the dealer?"
I live in Visayas and she's in Mindanao which is on another island in the Philippines. Getting there would take an hour plane ride and a 8-10hour bus ride.
@Kristina, if you're reading this please contact me through my mobile number and we could make something out.
The picture Kristina sent me that's from the shipping company. Tracking number is at the top right corner and it's missing 1 digit.
