Swindled

[beni23]

This morning as I wake up, my phone has lots of messages and missed calls, I opened it and my best friend was asking me if I was interested of buying an iphone for Php6,000. As most of us would do, I got interested and agreed that we meet up with the seller, in which he described as "mandurukot" (thief) and that he just met this "mandus" at UN Ave offering him an iPhone4 and 2 units of 3gs. He told me that it was only a package deal for 18,000, I offered the other unit to my friend, she accepted it and gave me the money.

At first, we suggested that we meet at chic-boy UN Ave but ended up at Jollibee Sta Mesa infront of Mezza Residences.

Finally, the seller came and saw us waiting for them outside Jollibee, he then gave the iphones to me so we could check them if the units are ok, while my friend waits outside. After we checked the iphones inside the store, he was kinda in a hurry, he's telling us "baka mahuli ako ng pulis sir, baka sineset up niyo lang kami." He took the iphones from me and got out of the store, approached my friend and began asking about the money so we could finish the transaction. I followed him out and got the money out of my pocket and started counting infront of them, they rushed as "wag mo na bilangin, di niyo naman siguro kami lolokohin." As I was counting, my friend checked the units and discovered that they weren't switching on, he signalled me with "wag mo muna ibigay yung pera". That was the time when this mandurukots placed their hands in their pockets like they were going to get a knife and stab us and shouted "may paparating na pulis dalian niyo na", as we look if there were really policemen approaching, they snatched the money from my hand and ran.

We were shocked, stunned and frustrated when we learned that DUMMY PHONES were given to us.

Descriptions:
guy 1 - about 5'2" tall, dark complexion, about 16 years old and has a mowhawk hairstyle.
guy 2 - about 5'4" tall, fair complexion, about 20 years old above and semi-kalbo hairstyle.

Happened just this 7:30pm, Aug 31, 2011.

Heads up guys! Wag agad magtitiwala. Tinapon ko na yung 3 dummy phones, kahit sabi ng pulis na wag ko itapon para may ebidensya, de malas un.

I feel sorry for the lost of your hard earned money but it's a good thing nothing bad happen to you. Of course you know it's illegal to buy stolen things hope you learned from your mistake.

Best friend mo ba talaga nagtext at miss call sayo?

[beni23]

Best friend mo ba talaga nagtext at miss call sayo?

Yes, bestfriend since highschool and family friend na rin. Super close friend ko yan kaya alam ko hindi talaga siya kasabwat.

*sir deadduck, lesson learned sir. thanks for the tip!

[froshie1]

something is wrong here.. why buy from a mandurukut in the first place?

[shadow]

Kasabwat "friend"mo don't be stupid and pretend wala siya kinalaman.

Naging t*nga ka na nga at nagpauto Sa kaibigan mo huwag na maging mas tanga na I denied ba hinde ka niloko ng friend mo.

The story is unbelievable from the beginning pa lang. Nakilala Lang niya Sa UN yun mandurukot? Tapos nagtiwala na siya kaagad you think a mandurukot will just approach random strangers to sell their stolen goods? Meron ng mga suki yan na bumibili ng fence goods nila.

Dapat yun name ng friend mo i-post mo dito at picture para maiwasan namin.

Greed and thinking makakaisa at makakalamang

Never deal with crooks...

[niky]

Stupid. Why buy a stolen phone?

Seriously?

You're dealing with a thief. What makes you think he won't turn around and steal from you, too?

[CVT]

Kaya dumarami ang mga mga iyan,- may bumibili sa kanila....

Ingat lang tayo...

14.0K:bike3:

[shadow]

ewan ko lang it was a dummy phone and hinde mo nalaman? I mean...ewan...

confront mo yun"friend" mo. g*go yun! niloko ka!

yun mga budol-budol gang, ganyan ang target nila yun greed ng tao. hinde ako naniniwala sa sinasabi na na hypnotized daw sila. gahaman sila kaya sila nabiktima.

and why bring out the money and pay him on the street kunwari totoo nga. aabot ko sa kanya sa loob ng fastfood.

saka kung meron kaibigan ko tumawag sa akin na meron ganyan offer, I'll tell him bilhin na niya then kunin ko na lang sa kanya. tapos tutal siya may kakilala sa nagbebenta.

saka yun palang nakilala lang niya sa UN, red flag na dapat yan

TS....read this.

yan, nadale ka tuloy ng dummy iPhones.
.....for the dumb. ha-hah!

[_Qwerty_]

imbes na isumbong nyo sa pulis kasi alam nyong mandurukot/snatcher.. nakipag deal pa kayo.. tsk tsk tsk..

[smarky13]

buy the original, mas mahal pero sigurado sa quality... second hand, mura pero sa future baka madami problema...
kung bibili ng nakaw, check muna mabuti ang unit. hehehe =)

[_Qwerty_]

wag bumili nang nakaw period.. di nyo ba naisip yun.. pag sa inyo nakita yang unit.. mamaya sabihin kayo pa nagnakaw nyan..

[Monseratto]

Kaya bulok ang lipunan kasi may mga tao pumapalag sa kalokohan at kamalian ng iba...tapos magagalit kung kayo mismo ang naloko.

"So long SUCKERS...hahaha!"

[uls]

ma-diskarte no?

kumita ng P18,000 laway ang puhunan

konting acting acting lang

haha

btw, kung ako di ako magpopost na na-swindle ako

nakakahiya

[shadow3616931]

Somehow di natin namamalayan na bumili sa mga magnanakaw, halimbawa lang pag nanakaw side mirror natin pinapalitan ba natin ng brand new di ba nakaw din ipinapalit natin like me center cap ng fort ko ninakaw wala ako choice kundi bumili ng nakaw kasi buong mags bibilin set yun eh, napag isip isip ko magnanakaw na din pala ako.

Pareng beni at least you are safe and you've learned lesson never transact again with those salot ng lipunan. Thanks din for posting it because lesson din samin to

[nic]

Heads up guys! Wag agad magtitiwala.

No offense, pero obvious naman na di pwede pagkatiwalaan ang magnanakaw. You shouldn't be dealing with them in the first place, maski totoo pa yung binigay na phone sayo.

You can't get your money back, but I hope you learned something from this experience.

[uls]

that heads up is like saying other tsikot people would also transact business with shady people
