I cant gеt іn contact wіth hеr …whаt саn I DO????? I hope іt mаkеѕ sense
Sorry, nothing you can do. Try to return it to the seller.
I dont know but call the police say this is fraud and explain them the story theyll find out where she lives
DID YOUR GIRLFRIEND GET A RECEIPT FOR THE PHONE? IF SHE DID, GET A HOLD OF THE SELLER AND TELL HER YOU WANT HER MONEY BACK. OTHERWISE TAKE HER TO COURT OVER THE COST OF THE PHONE. IF SHE DIDN’T GET A RECIEPT, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM. THAT IS RETARDED THAT SHE TOLD VERIZON SHE DIDN’T SELL IT. . . . IF THEY WOULD HAVE CHECKED THE SERIAL NUMBERS AND THAT, IT WOULD COME UP ON YOUR ACCOUNT. HER DENYING SELLING IT TO YOU PRETTY MUCH HINTED TO THEM THAT IT WAS STOLEN. I WOULD CALL HER UP AND TELL HER THAT SINCE YOU CAN’T USE THE PHONE AND SHE’S NOT GOING TO CANCEL SO YOU CAN USE IT, YOU WANT YOUR MONEY BACK. AND IF SHE DOESN’T GIVE IT BACK TO YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO HAUL HER TO COURT TO GET THE MONEY BACK. YOU COULD TRY CALLING THE COPS, BUT I DON’T KNOW THAT THEY WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING. CALL VERIZON AND TELL THEM YOU FOUND A PHONE AND WANT TO RETURN IT TO THE OWNER, AND ASK WHERE TO TAKE IT TO. THEN YOU’LL FIND OUT WHERE SHE LIVES. YOU SHOULD OF TRIED EBAY. AT LEAST IF YOU WOULD HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE PHONE YOU COULD REPORT IT TO EBAY AND GET IT TAKEN CARE OF.
NOt sure how much you paid for the phone but if it is less than $40. 00 you might have to chalk this up to experience.
Do you have the classifed add?
If so keep it, you are going to need it.
Go to GOODWILL or the salvation army and buy a purse.
Make sure that the phone is charged and put it in the purse
Then take the purse with the phone inside of it to the crappiest part of town in your city (the ghetto or a trailer park)
PREFERABLY the GHETTO! (dare her to go down there trying to find it)
drop it off there on a corner there.
SERIOUSLY!
Someone will *’find’* the purse and
they will use that phone to call EVERYONE and their mother.
Then she wont have a choice but to cancel it because her phone bill will be $800. 00 or so bucks!
If she somehow finds you ’say what phone?’
remember you told the guy on 3 way you didnt sell a phone’,
say “I thought you gave that phone away because I called you about it and you told me you couldnt cancel the phone without paying a cancelation fee”. . . .
Sure it wont get you your money back but it will COST her way more than it would have cost you!
She will be responsible for paying the bill and/or canceling the phone.
Will have served that bytch right for being so mean and selling you the phone that you can use in the first place.
REVENGE IS SWEET!
You only have 4 options. First option , ask her for your money back and give her the phone back. Second option , call the police and or prosecuting attorney and report her for fraud. Third option , take her to small claims court. And the fourth option would be to just take the lose and trash the phone. Do not make calls from it unless you have a receipt for it and can prove that you bought the phone from the owner but if you have all that go on and use it they would not be able to do anything about the calls. It sounds like she is either trying to set you up for something or she had no right to sell the phone to you.
sounds like you were dupped. Either sale the phone back or suck it up as a loss. As long as you don’t have a contract with her saying that you were going to take over her contract with verizon you should have no legal obligations, and as long as Verizon doesn’t think you’re taking over her contract, you might want to make sure they know you’re NOT taking over her contract and have no desire to ever do so.
I agree with KISS!
DO that,
TODAY!
For a nice touch, put the charger in the purse too ~ LOL @ the thought of that
Take Out The Sim Card And Start A NEw Plan With Verizon And Put The New Sim card In
Or If u Want Another Company (like T-Mobile Or Sprint )
Unlock The Phone With Someone that is good With That .
Then Get A new Plan And U KNow The Rest
