Dear Bryon Williams,

I have some questions to you.
I am from Germany and the same thing happened to me too.
A “David May Johnson“ from “Essex, Colchester, 33 Saldary Street“ bought my IPhone for 580€.
I had to send it to his adress and then he wanted to send me the transfer number.
After that the bank “Standard Charted Bank“ in London should transfer the money to my bank account.
I never got the money and “David“ didn't react on my messages.
I was at the Police and reported it, they said there happened more cases like that on that name.

Now my questions:

I would like to know what you did against this David.
And did you get your money?

I would be happy for a fast answer.
Sincerly,
