Scammed buying a PC off Facebook - What do I do?
Hey all,
Yesterday I purchased a gaming computer from Facebook Marketplace. The guy seemed kind of fishy as he wanted me to pay in cash and meet outside his noodle shop.
He said everything was working fine but it turns out the PC crashes when you try to play any games and always boots up into repair mode! The wifi also doesn’t work either.
I told him the issues and he said that it’s because I’ve done something to it when I was setting it up and installing games.
However I’ve left it untouched and have not reset anything.
And to the wifi problem, he just said to use an Ethernet cable and not use wifi!
He refuses to refund me and I’m not sure what to do. I understand I should have seen the red flags, and he keeps asking me random questions like my age. Does anyone know if I can do anything here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
