Been scammed

An eBay user I sold a laptop to turned out to be a hacker

They got me to send it to an address not on the account

Literally mins after posting it I got a fraud alert

Because I sent it to a different address I was not covered by eBay seller guarantee

Thought nothing of it but being helpful

The post office refused to give it back to me even with my receipt

Luckily my uncle worked for the post office and was able to get hold of the package and send it to the return address

The police came round but did absolutely nothing about it

Had the fraudsters address and they still did nothing

I’m sorry @Joker. That must have been maddening.

It was I at least expected the police to visit the property as sure they were scamming lots of people

I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s happened to me before and my bank was good about it luckily. Hopefully yours is too
