Ok, I bought an item in a parking lot from some guy who said he needed to get rid of it. He told me they actually sell for $1000, and he even showed me a magazine with an advertisement that showed the same item and the msrp. He told me it was brand new and the box was unopened and everything. I bought it for (ahem) a high price, though at the time I thought it was a good deal being only a fraction of the retailed price. I learned later the the item actually sells for much cheaper and isn't even an item worth buying. Plus some of the things that the box claimed to have weren't even in there!
I know! It was a stupid move! But can I do something about it or it's entirely my fault and not worth reporting. I actually took down his license plate number, but I'm scared he'd come out looking for me if I actually do decide to do so. What should I do? :( !!!!

Oh... dear. I'm sorry. I know it sounds like the worst thing anyone could ever do... but its not that bad. If it was around 100 dollars over the actual price or lower don't report him. If it was a lot more than that I'd first ask a parent or someone you love and trust if it's a good idea... i recommend not doing a friend cuz sometimes they can be... rash. I hope you get what you wish for... oh and don't worry about anyone coming after you. It's stupid for someone to come after anyone while police are still on this earth. I hope I could help.

Report it so that nobody else gets taken. And never buy great deals from somebody in a parking lot. It's a recipe for disaster.

Oh come on, are you that ignorant? You got robbed by an asshole and you don't know if you should call the police? No, here is what you do, send me all your account numbers, credit card numbers and then I will email you a solution. Sound good to you?

You can report him as long as it's not stolen property. Will probably get you nowhere though as there has to be proof beyond your testimony of the sale.

report it. as far as him comming after you, you have the protection of the law. It would be really stupid on his part to try and he doesnt know who you are or where you live and that will not be given to him by the police.

Sorry for you.but it is better for you to report it to the authority although it is imposible for them to chase him and recover your money but if you do so,this would help others to be aware of this scam.

Probably really can't do much about it, but report a scam if you think it's one cause scammers are freaking annoying.

There is an old saying in latin "caviat emptor" buyer beware. When you buy from someone like that you take your chances. Consider it an expensive lesson.
