This is probably the last time I& #39;ll ever permit myself to be dumb (a thread)

I was scammed by a seller (Sure Deal Store) on Lazada and I& #39;m hoping that this thread can startle NBI to proceed with my case.

Last August 21, 2020, I was searching for a laptop for my online classes when I saw the unit that I was looking for. It was 10k less than the originally marketed price by Lenovo and for that, the "seller" said that they were having promos that were to end the next day.

With that, I freaked out a bit because it was the laptop I was dreaming of and I could still get it at a cheap price! whAT A stEAL!!!! And began with the transaction the next day.

Of course, I asked more from the seller before the transaction.

I asked for laptop pictures, proofs of the transaction from past customers, as well as the proof of the credibility of his account. Surprisingly, all of them were sent to me.

Other than this, the seller was very responsive and was able to express himself/herself eloquently

So I proceeded (08/22). The transaction was done through Gcash--out of Lazada& #39;s checkout section. And when I sent the SC of the Gcash transaction, the seller was also able to provide an invoice that was sent to my email.

So I thought then, "ay parang & #39;di naman scammer" DUMBO

I was in contact with the seller for the next 3 days. I asked when the delivery will be made and the seller kept delaying it, blaming it on delivery companies. But the very next day (08/26), the seller& #39;s account seems to have disappeared.

I acted fast.

Messaged the number affiliated with the Gcash account, called Gcash, called Lazada, called NBI, made a detailed report of my case, and was set to go to PNP and NBI the next day (08/27) when the number replied.

Yes.... I do not think that what this person saying is the truth, but even then, cases of identity theft do exist. So idk, I have stopped communicating with the number to prevent further leakages of my identity.

Moving on, PNP was able to make a police report which I gave to NBI. But in the NBI personnel& #39;s words "walang assurance na ma-sosolve itong kaso mo,"

Papayag ba ako dun? SYEMPRE HINDI. THIS SCAMMER CAN ALSO USE THE INFORMATION I GAVE TO DRAG MY NAME INTO NUMEROUS CYBERCRIMES! NO

Days after, Lazada was able to track the seller account the scammer made USING MY NUMBER. It& #39;s a store called "Open Bonus Store" DO NOT BUY FROM THIS STORE AN ONLINE SCAMMER IS BEHIND IT!!!!!

And Gcash basically slammed their doors right in my face by stating that "only NBI has the right to investigate your swindling case," So the last chance of my case getting solved relies on the willingness of NBI...sigh

11 days has passed and I& #39;ve received no updates from NBI or whatsoever, but I will never stop fighting until my case is solved.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
