I know I spelled "Phone" wrong
Recently, I was at a public place and someone came up to me begging me to buy his phone. Long story short, after a lot of talk I bought the phone from him and after 4 days he calls and tells me he wants it back.
Now, I have paid money for the phone and he is threatening me that he will call the cops on me because of theft and it is in his name. I paid for it, should it not be mine? Im in Canada btw
How does he have your phone number?
Did you have him sign a contract saying you bought it from him or get any proof that you did buy it from him?
He got my phone number because I am a dumb nut and I decided to call him from my other phone. There is proof that he sold it to me because I recorded the phone calls and it says he sold it to me.
Re: Bought a phone from someone, he wants it back???
In my opinion I would keep it. A person like that I would keep it just to really annoy. If he calls the cops what aren't they going to do. You can explain the story and then either you will keep the phone or they will take the phone and you get your money. All in all it is a win win for you. I would also not reply to him lol. Happened to me before but I just ignored them. No cops came thankfully.
Btw what phone did you buy. I bet he wants it back as he's used all the money lol. May not be but sounds like it.

I bought an LG phone, an old model. I really don't need a smartphone so yeah and it was cheap too, $40. Oh and that guy called me as a fake cop and he said I will be charged for theft.
I have all the proof that he sold it to me. Am I safe? I paid money for it, it's mine.
Recorded phone call yes youre safe. Lol still laughing as I type this

I can imagine himself thinking he's convincing over the phone as a fake cop. He probably put a sock over his hand and drew little eyes on it, and then had it talk over the phone for him. Considering he thought he was convincing, it sounds hilarious.

Well honestly if someone desperately sold you the device for 40 they probably are strung out on drugs.
If you have proof of you're gain(the phone) and his gain (money) and normally a witness would be perfect but if he's trying all this I might just sell it back. He probably try to assault you or break windows, but if you really want to keep it record a convo with him acting like you stated then call and have a restraining order placed.

you're = you are (You're using "you're" incorrectly.)
where as
your = the possessive form of the word you (Using the word you're in this case was your mistake.)

Ok so I need to just talk about this but recently at my house (which I've been living in for about 4 years) some scary stuff has been going on now this isn't in order but im scared. Like i dont mean to be a ***** about iit but im truely sincerely scared, now a couple of minutes ago I was in my kitchen heating up some food when Outta no where I heard my name in my ear and some other words which I couldn't make out. Thinking it was my mother whose room is right next to the kitchen I went and checked and she was asleep. Then. I went back to the food and iI felt what was like something big standing behind me it was a horrible feeling. Now for the past couple if days I've been hearing footsteps and I've been seeing shadows, recentlyy I saw a head move by the light reflected by my window and nothing was outside. Also about a week ago I was putting my dog in the house when I saw a red air compressor move right in front of my eyes. It was about 10 at night so I couldn't be anybody. Plus it moved so cleanly, so unhumanly. Ill keep this updated but man I just have to share this.
Edit*: I remember the first experience I had with it. I was getting ready to go out to eat so I picked up an iron walked around the house with it and ironed a **** real quick with it unplugged. Right before I left I did a lap with it around the house and made sure the cord wasn't tangled and put it next to my moms tv which is on a stand about 3feet tall, so I left and came back no more then 30 minutes after to find the iron on the carpet while plugged in, leaving a deep burn on it. Call me crazy but I made sure twice it wasn't plugged it. Heck I never went close to the power outlet.

You got one of the bad ones. They won't listen to you if you ask em to leave. Won't stop. Not polite. The shadow you say you see is just like the demons from Ghost. Pure evil. Is someone in your house now that wasn't there before, ie a drug shooting uncle, molesting step dad, someone brought that evil with them and it doesn't like you. Might want to go to a shady part of town and tell one of those psychics you saw and passed off as a fake *****. Don't tell her the whole story, but tell her you got a problem. See if she can tell what it is or has to social engineer it out of you.

That's what my friend had to do. Her and her kids slept on an air mattress in the living room for about two years. Finally a good psychic told her to divorce her husband and move. Hasn't had a problem since. Watch out who you let over to your house. You are a good person. That's why this demon doesn't like you. Mostly they just talk to you in your ear, growl at you, scare teh **** out of you on purpose. Nothing nice about em period. It's when they start moving things that it's getting out of control. They or you have to go somehow.
There are good ghosts, my mom lives with two of em. They watch over her. Stay up in the attic. The vet clinic I work at has one. Only two of us notice it. It just watches everyone and makes sure everybody is doing good to the animals. I actually talked to it one day. Got tired of it watching me and wanted to know what it's deal was. We're cool now.
From now on, don't let crazy people in your house. That is your castle, your domain, your place of solace. Don't let it corrupted.

I don't know dude. For all I know you're jacking with me. If it's you that's the bad person, then it's more than likely a good ghost. If you're for real, better make good in that house and start talking to it. See what it wants. Can't really tell you what to do without being there.

I was haunted for 2 years when I lived in my old house. It got so bad that when I would come home all my lights, TV, ect were always on.

We had to move right away acourding (also spelt wrong) to the pastor who put a belsing on the house.

They're really fun when you can get em to move without anyone touching it. Another time, talked to Brian, found out later that a kid named Brian was killed in the apartments thta I lived in.
It's not scary at all. Learned it when I was young. Me and my uncle would go (lack a better word) hunting for spirits. After spending some time with it. Do a game with where we wrote down what we saw and felt. Telling about what vibes we got from the spirit. If we saw it in clothes, what clothes are they in. Very telling of what kind of spirit you have. Or we would go out after doing some meth. (Keep in mind nobody halucinates the same thing.) We would go out in the middle of the night and "be one" with what was around us. Always seeing the same thing, hearing the same sounds. Drugs actually clutter your mind, but makes you more open to what is around. You see more, but you get confused. It's a learned trait to filter it and see what's really there.

If you are a religious person pray for the spirits to find there way to the other side. If they are demons there is no other side and they will stay until they feel the harm the caused is sufficient.

Dude... Time to ask for divine help?
Guys I've been had...purchased a phone from Gumtree cash on collection on 17th and it's stopped working today reported as lost or stolen...
As dreaded the phone has been blocked... So it's definitely fraud.. What are my options.... I'd like to report to the police but not sure if they'll do anything...
Has anyone had a similar experience, is there anyway of finding out the insurance company as I'd like to tell them it's fraud...?
Are the police likely to take the phone off me even if I don't get my money back?
I do have some emails, telephone number and address of the seller... Btw it was gumtree where I purchased from...
Also is it better to contact seller first to see if he'll give the money back (highly unlikely) or will that tip him off...?
Any advice would be much appreciated....

I'm not sure how gum tree works, but I had a similar experience buying from Cex. I simply took the phone back as they said the sale is fraudulent and they swapped the handset. Hopefully gum tree offer buyer support of some description.

That's a very naive and stupid thing to do. To be brutally honest, it's your own fault that you didn't see this potentially being a scam. Many people, myself included, would not even consider buying from someone on the street, which is basically what you did. They took you to a set of doors which probably wasn't even theirs. Easier then going to the front door of an house right? You took the risk to purchase the phone knowing once you have it, anything could happen and that you have nothing to go against except a dodgy PAY&GO number, some throw away emails addresses, and most likely a fake address.
Again, to be honest, sadly the police are very unlikely to help you, even with the emails that you have, or the phone number. Since an insurance claim requires reporting it to the police, the police will likely have a record of the phone being reported as lost/stolen. They will simply take the phone from you and return it to the owner, and they could even charge you for handling stolen goods. Your proof (emails, phone number) isn't good enough to prove that you are a victim of a scam and therefore they will not waste time to investigate on the little leads you have.
Lesson learnt. Take it on the chin n move on.
PS: GumTree wouldn't help you. It's none of their business at the end of the day. They provide u a free service and what happens is beyond their control.

Thanks for your advice although not what I wanted to hear.. They said they were putting lunch out for the kids and would come to the door, they had their front door open and went back up the stairs.... I did ask the seller if it was his own phone and not stolen etc at the time of buying....which they said it's not!
The phone worked for nearly a week so how could police accuse me buying stolen phone when I went to such lengths to try ensure it wasn't?

Ok so about 3 weeks ago my son busted my fiances s4 screen. There was a big hoot and hollar about why do we let our son play with our expensive phone in that thread lol. So anyway assurion did not have the phone in stock so i sold her broken one on ebay and bought her another from the sprint store. I called assurion and canceled the claim and even recieved a comformation.
Well fiance gos out to bring my dog in the house and she sees a package from fedex on the hood of her car. She opens it and its a brand new galaxy s4. She calls me and tells me. So i say no big deal ill mail this back to assurion. Well i call them and tell them what happened. They get all my info and cant find anything in there system saying they shipped me a phone. They show a canceled claim thats it. I give her the fedex number showing it came from there address but she refuses to check it. She ask am i sure i didnt order one off the internet and i tell her id be pretty sure if i just bought a $600 phone.
So i then turn my attention to fedex. I call them and say hey you left a package with a $650 phone in it on the hood of my car in my driveway about 100ft away from my house. They call the driver and he says he didnt wana come to my house bc my dog was on a runner. So i give them some crap about leaving it there and that was that.
So now i have a phone sitting in my house that assurion has no information on. It required a signature but was never signed for. Has anyone ever had an experience like this?

You're really honest in how you tried to return it much respect for that, but after hearing all that maybe you deserve to just keep it.

If it showed up, you do not have to pay for it. You might want to do research, but I HAD HEARD SECOND HAND that back in the 70s, companies used to ship stuff to people, then ask them to pay for it if they didn't return it (think CD "clubs").
I learned this after I had a 2nd poweramp shipped to me . . . and I finally reluctantly returned it . . . THEN learned about the rule/law about not having to send stuff back. RESEARCH IT

I dont have a broken phone to send back bc i replaced it myself. I tryd to get a label to return it bc all they sent was a padded envelope which clearly says send just the phone back. This box is sealed so i dont wana open it and send them a phone back and keeo the box. Im so pissed at fedex tho im half tempted to keep it and let my son use it as a tablet bc they left it on the hood up my driveway and no one ever signed.

Doesn't matter if you have a phone to send back or not, they left it without signing, it's all cool in school, keep it. Just leave it boxed up for a week or two. When (and if) they call for it looking for it, play dumb, then ignore their calls.
And again research the law behind mailing you stuff.

My advice, since you've already taken the 'correct' steps to resolve this issue, is to keep the phone, still sealed up in the Fed-Ex box. Wait a billing cycle (or two) to see if any charges show up, or if Assurion contacts you again about the damaged device, and then take the appropriate action. If, after a few months, nothing further has been done/attempted by Sprint/Assurion, then I'd consider myself the owner of a new S4.

I think she was giving you a hint, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. And if the $150 does show up on your bill, you've got a $650 phone for $150.
had a similar incident back on tmo with the g2, it is currently sitting on my desk
also as teh father of a 2 year old, i happily let her play with phones (not my sgs4 though, she gets mommy's sgs3 ). there is so many learning apps and she is already so quick to learn how to navigate teh device. i wouldnt take that away from her for the world. screw everyone else and you raise your kids how you see fit
I've had this happen to me as well. Cancelled a claim on my Evo 3d, still received it with no record of it being sent. Gave it to my girl and was never charged

I'd research the laws, keep it in the box for a week of case they call, then I'd own it, root it then I'd call FedEx, and ask why the hell they left it on my car. And tell them you don't appreciate that very much.

Totally agree. My 5 year old has been playing on all my phones from the s3 to the note 2. Alot of cool apps for kids on the play store.

technically you never signed for it so technically you never "received" it lol
To those of you saying to just keep the phone.....correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a replacement come pre-activated, meaning that it can only be used on the phone number that it was meant to be a replacement for? If so, it's still of no use unless to be sold as a bad ESN to be activated on another carrier such as Boost or similar.

Hello all,
I bought a GS4 yesterday and sold my brother my note. I received my UAG case today and have no need for it. So I am going to give it away. I don't really know who im going to give it to, but post something here that is cool or funny and if I like it the most, you get the case. I'll decide Sunday and send it out Tuesday.

You could gift it to your brother.
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazes. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"
A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."
Already asked if he wanted it and he doesn't.

Husband takes the wife to a disco.
There’s a guy on the dance floor giving it large – break dancing, moonwalking, back flips, the works.
The wife turns to her husband and says: “See that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down.”
Husband says: “Looks like he’s still ****in celebrating!!

So an Android, a Blackberry, an iPhone, and a Windows Phone walk into a bar. Only one gets a Beer.
.... Okay I lied.
Only Androids can walk so none of the others were there at all.
Already got UAG case, but might as well post a funny one just heard the other day. ***Warning*** its R-rated and some might find it offensive, but we are all adults and should have some sense of humor
So this guy walks down the beach and sees a beautiful girl lying down on the sand without arms and legs, crying. He approaches her and asks why is she crying? She replies "I'm very sad because I never been effed before". The guy looks at her, carefully picks her up in his arms, and... throws her right into the water saying "Now you are really effed".
