Don't deal with wirenut495

I made a trade with wirenut495 back on aug 7th. I was to trade my galaxy s2 for his iphone 4s. I sent the galaxy s2 as agreed, but I have never received the iphone. i sent him the tracking info, but never got any tracking info from him. instead, 3 days later, he sent me a pm saying that his wife sent it to him in japan instead of sending it to me, and that he would send it to me as soon as he received it.

i know mistakes happen and all, and decided to wait it out a little. i did tell him to supply me with the tracking info for iphone going to him in japan so i had some sort of proof. i never heard back. i did track down his email address online though. i emailed him asking for the tracking and such.

a week and a half later he emails me and says i need to be patient and he will send it when he gets it. he said he had been out of town for 2 weeks and he couldn't use the internet.

well now it's been over a month, and i have no iphone and no response from this guy. I'm calling sprint tomorrow to that phone reported stolen. i should have done it before, but i was hoping this would turn out good. looks like i was wrong...

i would never trade phones unless its local and face to face. Too many bugs/problems can happen with phones to risk a trade along with all the scamming going on.

Both are ***** tier phones anyway. Consider it a cheap lesson learned.
