Got Scammed, anybody able to help?
Post Body

Okay, I know, my fault. I tried to buy something over the internet without being careful enough. Full disclaimer ahead of time. But, hear me out can anyone help?

There's a woman selling electronics over the online service Offer-Up, who I agreed to buy an Apple Watch from. I'm from out of state. So she'll Facetime me, show me the Apple Watch box, then put it in postage, and hand it, and pay for it shipped to me. Well she sent me the wrong watch. Instead she sent me what I believe to be is her personal watch. I called her at the beginning to get this sorted out. She gave me her passcode, and yes, it's her watch and she agreed to swap them out. However now she is ducking my calls. I have this watch with all her personal information on it and I'm out a little cash.

She's trying to run this scam again, with a phone on offer-up (made new account, pretended to be interested, willing to do same song and dance.) However, I was wondering if it's possible to catch her. File a police report (I called Kenosha police department, they told me to buzz off,) or get some recourse.

Any tips from an out of stater.

Save me the should've bought it from a dealer online. I get it. I know. I fucked up. But I have this watch loaded with her info, and she's still trying to scam. So how do I get this tallied up.
