PLEASE HELP ME it happened today I said maybe I can do something since it happened a short while ago (he received my computer without sending money)!! PLEASE HELP ME TO DO SOMETHING

I am sorry you are a victim of this scam

You said it happened today.

Did you send the laptop today.

No I sent it last week ... it was delivered today and then I knew it was fake ( during that time I was busy studying) -_- so pissed off

I am sorry to say that you will not get your laptop back.

Report it to your law enforcement and your countries internet fraud center.

Stop contact with the everyone involved. Just vanish without explaining anything.

His next step will to try to steal money from you.

Thank you man but I am not Romanian I am just a student in Romania ..... are you sure that I cannot recuperate it even if I report him ??

It seems you shipped it to the UK. That person may be a victim of the scammer. He may think he has an online job reshipping items. If he has forwarded the laptop then no you will not get it back.

You should try to report it also to Action Fraud http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

After insulting him in an email he said that his bank will credit me... as if I will believe it , I guess it confirms what you said ,that he will try to steal money. But What can they do for me if I report him ??

Nothing if you don't.

I have no clue.

It is up to you.

Thank you for the help I appreciate it !
Be safe
