“…Paid 15k for a phone. There is a lot that happened…

“The seller said it was brand new. I didn’t know better. I was desperate.”

He admitted, in the comment section, that he ignored red flags about the phone..

“There were so many red flags about that phone. But I ignored them because I didn’t have a phone.”
