So I bought a iPhone off Mercari and not even an hour after buying it, another user is trying to scam others. He stole the guy I bought from the iPhone pictures. I have reported it along with the original seller. Well, just a few minutes ago I was commenting to others commenting on the scammer item what was going on and suddenly it said SOLD. Then clicked on the ad and all the sudden the ad disappeared. I am wondering if it finally gotten taken down?! I am loss for words. Maybe its good... Update: Nope, we found it in the SOLD section. Whomever bought it will be at a loss. The guy I bought mine from that his pictures were stolen said he don't feel sorry for the buyer of that scam. I don't blame him. SMH. Hopefully I just get mine asap like he said.

I just don't understand why you are buying an iPhone when you guys are always struggling to pay bills and going to the food bank. Makes no sense to me.

I think she's mentioned having bipolar disorder in previous posts. The manic phases of the disorder can result in a lot of poor financial decisions. @carebear29 This might be something to mention to your doctor.

Someone copied the photos and is pretending that the phone is theirs to scam another person.

@shaggin Yep, that's pretty much it. Happens way too frequently, unfortunately.
