Hey /adv/, did I just get scammed on gumtree? This guy came to my house to buy a brand new S7 edge. He showed me that he was transferring money to my account and he "sent it" took the phone and left. He gave me the receipt and I still have his phone number. To now I don't see any pending amount in my account and I called the bank and they said I should see it by now. What can I do?

i don't think there's anything you can do unless you have the guys details maybe you could report it to the police
ought to have gotten cash but i guess that's hindsight

You always check your own balance to confirm that they sent it to you.
You're a fucking idiot, he probably used a burner.
You remind me of a guy I know who thought he was buying a TV, he was shown the TV, it went in the back of the van in a box, the price went up, he haggled, the price went back to asking and he got out a box from the van, only it contained onions (to weigh it down), we called him for weeks asking if he knew of any onion recipes.

There's a ton of apps that basically just pretend to be bank apps for this purpose. Sorry bud. Always take cash. I never even take check because those can bounce or be cancelled.

Guys like this have everything planned. Not only is your phone probably already long gone (sold for cash), but the phone number you have is probably to some pay-as-you go phone. Not the phone he showed you. You actually have no evidence.
