My best friend was brutally pulled off. He is in a phase of depression. Today's event took me away, shocked and aroused pity.
He bought the coveted Playstation 5 on the Internet for 700 euro. He wanted to give his son a birthday present, make him happy. Birthday celebrations are not possible in times of Corona. That's why he wanted to make his child happy.
He bought the new PS5 on the Internet. The current market price is 900 euro. Because the PS5 is sold out everywhere. He was lucky and found a cheap offer. The description of the ad said, OVP, … Unopened, New ". The PS5 was sold as unopened. The same as when you get it new and fresh from the store.
He met with the guy. In front of his house - at the door. The guy handed him the goods and an envelope (invoice, delivery note, order form, etc.). After that, we went to see him to celebrate his boy's birthday.
When we arrived and he opened the packaging of the Playstation. There was no PS5 in the box. They were books. Shock. It was a scam.
Deducted by 700 euro. A single father who lost his wife. He is not wealthy and has a lot of debt.
This was followed by a report to the police. Of course we went to the seller's house. The seller doesn't live there, managed to make it appear.
How can I stand by my friend? I'm back home now. The whole day is ruined.
It would never have occurred to me to open the unopened packaging myself. By opening the packaging, the product would no longer be new and would be depreciated.
It's your own fault, why not open the package before paying?
Well - something learned. I would say. Yes, it may sound mean. But you can buy electrical appliances from reputable retailers - Media Markt, Saturn, etc. And not from a Heiopei on the Internet.
And can the device be shown that it works!
Plowing, working overtime and getting him the money, I don't think it will bring any comfort
They were repackaged and rimmed with rubber bands. He was coming home from work, probably stressed and exhausted.
Yes pitch
Cases with empty packaging (plasticine instead of iPad) have also occurred there. Fortunately for those affected, more than just one customer.
That's hard. He won't be able to do anything except learn a lesson from it. And the simplest way is: Nobody in the world has anything to give away. Why would someone want to sell a new device 200 euro below market price? Any normal person would sell it at the market price, especially when the item is difficult to obtain. Then the usual market price is still a snap.
Afterwards you are of course always smarter, that doesn't help. But you write about the delivery note, the order form. Is there no name on it?

These are probably wrong names. We were with the police.
Oh, I would write to the shop and ask for a copy of the invoice for the transaction number. Could be a very clever one who bought the thing and then needed money…
I would recommend him next time not to buy the thing from the Internet, but to visit the shop and buy it there.
In addition: when a seller sells the device so cheaply, something is wrong. One should become skeptical earlier.
