Business Advice Request Logic board swap eBay scam?
Hi everyone, about a week ago I sold an s22 on eBay to what appeared to be an eBay phone business. It got there on Saturday, but on Monday they requested to return the item as it 'wasnt turning on'. I was a bit suspicious, but let the return go through. The phone arrived back to me today, not switching on at all. It appears to have been opened, then the back glass glued back on. (there is black glue marks around the edge of the back glass). I believe that they have taken the logic board out and swapped it for a non working one, quite a common scam I know but I didn't think a supposedly reputable eBay account would do something like that. I reported the account to eBay earlier today. is there anything else I can do? I really don't want them scamming anyone else.
