scammed on ebay by vinney2787

If a fool and their money are easily parted, how did the fool come into money in the first place?
Whilst there are still many many people out there gullible/naive/greedy enough to buy a dirt cheap iPhone, then these listings will continue.
If it looks too good to be true and all that?
There is very little deception involved, but a great deal of stupidity.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
The OP's only hope is that Paypal will refund.
It was sent recorded, so Item Not Received is out of the question - not as described may be tenuous as well.
If anything does happen, it will be refunded by eBay directly, who will then chase the seller through whatever legal means to recover costs.
And in turn, this is just another incessant drip of cost that will be added to our ebay fees in months or years to come.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -

What a clever con. I totally would have fallen it too. Hope you get your moneyback some how.For thousands of people this Christmas, their must-have gift is far more vital than the latest gadget or toy – it’s blood. Please don’t let the festivities and cold weather prevent you from giving them the ultimate gift… give blood.0
