hi all,
unfortunately i have been conned as i purchased a phone about 4 months ago from gumtree. went and picked it up so knew where the guy lived etc and now its been blocked. went round there and the new tenants have no idea where he's moved on to.
i have contacted the police and given his name etc. but that still leaves me with a very expensive paperweight. i know this isn't the most moral thing to do but if i were to drop it in water and take out the sim tray and went to apple would they be able to find out it was blocked even though it has water damage? i would be happy to pay the £139 to get a straight replacement but feel robbed now i have a phone with absolutely no use at all and there is someone out there laughing with £300 of my money and a new insurance replacement.
if you have any other ideas that would be great.
thanks
