Earlier today, around 10am, i recieved a text inquiry about my Phone which i Posted FOR TRADE
I have an HTC Sensation up for grabs (heres the
LINK)
anyhow, this guy texted me asking if im up for trade into an Iphone 4
I asked if Straight Swap and he said YES
when i asked him what his package is composed off and how is the condition of the phone,
he wouldnt budge but respond "TRADE?"
either dli sya kasabot ug english or BOGO lang jud sya
ni respond ko og "Sugot ko" and asked him the same question again
he replied with "ASA TA KITA" ONLY
I replied with IKAW? and asked 3x "what his package is composed off and how is the condition of the phone"
I added "Unlocked? Scratches? Battery Life?"
and iya reply? "Iphone 4 black. 16gig. usb nd charger, Naa lng minor scratches"
I asked unsa ka minor?
He then said "Gamay lang jd sa kilid lng pero di man cya makta kung butangan og cover"
"Uu unlock. naa lang minor scratches
pero hamis pa... battery life 2days usa ma lowbat"
I asked when man ta mag trade
He respoded asap "Krn Pwd"
I asked Taga asa sya
He said Mandaue, which i find amusing afterwards
I asked his Istoryan name
He said he isnt a member of Istorya and asked from where I am
I answered somewhere opposite, somewhere south and that we could meet after an hour
He responded with pde sab karon(gadali noh?)
I reasoned out I needed to go home and grab the phone's accessories
and ni reply with "OK POH"(chix? or chixilog?)
I asked Presentable pa ba?
He said "Uu Presentable pa POH ni"
anyhow i didnt know what to expect since wla man jud mi nag ila ila
and so there goes the sabot that we would meet in SM
I texted Ill see him in 30mins and he said OK
On my way out, he then asked where I am and I said Im on my way
he said OK, Ill visit bench for a while (naa na sya sa SM?)
and I was like woah? I think I need to change kay ga pambalay rko
Nagilis ko and I was running late also because of traffic, informed him about my status
suddenly he replied something unexpected which made me laugh out of amusement
He said he is
also on his way and he is still at Recle got stuck in traffic while riding Vhire
and I was... wait a minute... Mandaue rman kaha sya? Lapu Lapu man guro ni sya and Abi ko naa na sya sa SM?
I arrived way before him (If he wasnt lying since I had the feeling someone was spotting me and my cousin)
I agreed to meet in SM since i was actually planning to stroll my manilenyo cousin around SM City Cebu too
hitting 2 birds with 1 stone kumbaga hehhe
Pag abot namo, we would meet by Bench but there were no one but the sales crew,
so I went directly to the exit para mag smoke with my cousin while waiting
he was asking me where I was and so I responded accordingly
I know for a fact he wouldnt be able to pin point who I was kay daghan man tao
but what facinated me is he responded with naa sya atubangan sa Pizza Hut Entrance
when We went there, no one was there but US again
So i called him 0923 149 2236
first call dropped, second was answered and said he is on his way
Duda nako na gina spot ra mi sa bayot boang
some 20minutes later he tapped my cousin asking...
and so I spoke on his behalf and said I am the one whom he was texting
this bayot boang got a small body frame, approx 5"3 tall, fair skinned, and A face you wouldnt miss, He looked like a sea urchin without the pricks (Nawong na dli nimo malimtan, mura syag tuyom na gi ibtag tunok)
He was suspiciously shaky, if not stuttering. (Hadlok tih?)
Prolly coz I am big and stocky? around the same size with my manilenyo cousin, white version lang?
He showed me the phone. Iphone 4 Black
It wasnt pristine,
a couple of side scratches including numerous chipped corners(daghan na pakpak)
Home button was HARD to press(but working) and he was utilizing the Home Button Widget
The rest of the buttons are working fine (Mute, Volume, etc)
He made me check the software and I believe I saw the phone's name as "Yack Fou"
didnt really mind the info, i even forgot the software version nor the carrier lock
But when I asked him to get ourselves inside Pizza Hut to test the unit, he went frantic and said, I would need to get my Sim card Cut for Micro Sim Size
Unfortunately for him, im not really ignorant. I have already bought a prepaid MicroSim from smart a few minutes before we actually met
He then told me he forgot his Sim Tray Pin, which i totally forgot.(No wonder NO SIM ang phone)
I offered to join me visit National Bookstore and buy some Paper Clips to utilize as a Sim Tray Pin
He just went point blank and reasoned out
"Its OK, I just need to get back to my aunt first since "AKO RA GI UBANAN"
the said "We'll meet back here after 5mins, Ill be back"
and I said OK. in a veeeerrryyy suspicious way
After getting 2 paper clips in National Bookstore(namunit rako kay wala na silay gagmay - atleast LIBRE AHHA)
I texted him back that Im going back to Pizza Hut
He wouldnt reply
Ni abot nlng kos Pizza Hut, and texted him, wala japon
I called twice, and Once More on my other phone
AND HIS PHONE WAS ALREADY OFF!! ahhahah SCAM FAILED!!
texted him Ill be in Pizza Hut with my couzin eating dinner and ill wait until quarter to 8pm.
Still no response
Called him and his phone is OFF still
So here you go, As suspicious as it may sound, The scammer left with nothing but his broken iphone
Im not sure what really is his iphone's problem ,since I wasnt really able to test it out, but im pretty sure the problem is big since (I believe) HE TRIED to FOOL ME to no AVAIL. tsk tsk tsk
be careful my fellow istoryans
The unit that may be defective is an Iphone4, Black 16Gig
Home Buttom is Hard/Deep
Back Corners are chipped out
and phone name is something like Yack Fou(not 100% sure)
