I am such a fool....FOOL!
I am so pissed with myself right now. I have been scammed...only have myself to blame but am totally totally gutted.

My 14yr old daughter and I went halves in a laptop for her...we purchased it privately on an auction site...the reason I blame myself is because its a new trader. I should have known better...but though hey- its sweet...they are verified by Cellphone and I have their bank account number. But the laptop hasnt arrived...my daughter has no christmas present and they have since been changed to unverified and change their location.....I AM SO BUMMED AND I AM SO PISSED AT MYSELF!....First time ever....I should have known cause it looked to good to be true....the price I mean.

Here is what we bid on....

Man...has anyone else done something so stupid....I still keep looking out the window waiting for the courier to arrive...knowing it wont. And wondering what the hell I am going to do!

I guess now I contact the auction site and take it from there....but I feel so responsible- I ruined my daughters christmas

Re: I am such a fool....FOOL!
you knew that wasn't a reasonable price when you bid for it, in essence your greed was played upon, as it is in all scams. Learn from this one lesson, when you try to take advantage or screw somebody, you end up getting screwed. If you are any kind of parent you will make sure your daughter learns this lesson as well by sharing exactly what happened with her, including your own selfish desire to get a "steal". There's a reason we use that term you know

Get to your bank and talk to them, you may have your money reversed.

I had something similar happen and the bank was really good and gave me back my money.
