is a bit misleading, it should read i stupidly paid upfront for something i did not have. also you knew the number had been deleted from your phone, how did you speak to him in the first place. do you have call history on your phone. The thread i see people complaining about being racist, it is hardly racisit stating an indian man took his money. Its obviously a factual statement.
Report it to the police they will probably do nothing but at least they know. You were silly to do it let us hope you have learned something.
