I have maybe done something totally stupid!!!
I've been talking to this guy via msn coz he had 2 nokia N91's for sale.
To cut a long story short, he said he'd swap a N91 for my D800 in which i thought was kool.
So anyway, i was chatting to him yesterday and he said he'd send it to me so i had it before 1pm today, but i had to send my D800 at the same time so we could both give each other the tracking numbers etc.
I was abit worried as ive never done anything like this before and he does seem pretty genuine and he assured me everything was kool and so on. He sent the phone and gave me the tracking number, i then did the same etc.
However, my phone has been delivered to him as i checked, but i've received NO phone. I've even phoned Royal mail and they said that they have no record of the tracking number and that i should get in touch with the sender. My bf rang him pretending to be interested in the N91's and asked if he still had them, in which he replied yes. My bf then said to him, why has'nt my gf's phone turned up when you said you had sent it. The reply then was, i have sent it, my bf then went on to say about royal mail having no records etc and that we know my phone has been delivered, and he replied with yes i know it has. The bloke then said he was going to go to the post office that he sent it from to enquire about and then ring us back.
What do i do now?? I know deep down i've been ripped off, if im not going to get the N91 i at least want my D800 back.
Where do i stand? Can i go to the police???
HELP!!!!
