Total money lost $400.99
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I personally contacted Instagram user @theplugmaster1234 through DM because he was claiming to sell a brand new iPhone 8 plus. The price was set to be $350 plus $10 for 2day shipping. I paid him through western union because cash app wasn’t working. I lost a total of $400.99 because of western union transfer fees. I sent the money and he said he will mail it out first thing in the morning. The incident happened Tuesday March 20 around 12am. I left it at that assuming he would do as he said. Then around Thursday afternoon I sent him another message asking about tracking info. He then said he would need another $150 from me because FedEx needed it to ship it out. I say no because I don’t have the $150 and he says he would need to schedule a refund if I don’t have the money then I agree asking if I can just get my money back instead . He says it’s no trouble and I give him my cashapp name for the refund but he does not respond and he blocks me instead. Their cashapp name is $streetqualityclo. They claim to sell Jordan’s, phones, clothing and other items on their ig page @theplugmaster1234.
