Imagine thinking you got a great deal on a high end product by buying it on a site where people can resell products. What would you do if you realized you got scammed and the product was actually a fake?

That’s what happened to the person in this story, and he decided to have some fun messing with the scammer.

Let’s read all about it.

Scam me? I’ll waste your time and gas money.

So I bought a pair of airpods on OfferUp, which is an app that lets you list items for sale.

They were sealed, I verified the serial number, and looked very real.

Noise canceling worked as well and I was too naive to see the red flags around the transaction.

Then, he found out they weren’t real.

A few days later, I noticed that my warranty expired all of a sudden and a Apple rep told me that these were replicas. A darn good one too.

So I asked the guy to meet me again because I wanted to buy *another* pair.

Once he got to the Starbucks, I blocked him.

But, he didn’t just get revenge once.

I repeated this multiple times with different accounts.

He has probably wasted around the same amount of money in gas and around 10 hours trying to repeat his scam over and over again.

Wrong me, and I will wrong you; scum.

Is there a way to report this scammer to OfferUp? Instead of just messing with him, it would be great if he weren’t able to scam anyone else.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

The scammer broke the law.

Here’s a vote for calling the police.

But this person would be okay with a knockoff if the quality is decent.

This is a good point.

I don’t think he was effective at stopping the scammer at all.
