A man\u2019s little brother claimed they were scammed after the teenager thought he had purchased two iPhone 15s for $1,200, which, in fact, were iPhone XRs disguised as the newest iPhone. His big brother and phone expert, @icellphonezz, wasn\u2019t about to let that slide, as he pulled up on the alleged scammers in person to demand the money back. @icellphonezz, who has a following of over 150k followers on Instagram, posted the video to his social media and it has since gone viral. In the video, he examined the phones sold to his little brother for $1200, noting that you can \u201ckind of tell it\u2019s as XR by the way they glued a back piece onto it.\u201d \u201cThis one has a sim tray, and the 14s and up in the US don\u2019t have a sim tray,\u201d he explained. \u201cWell, let\u2019s go see what\u2019s up with this foo then\u201d. \u201cWhere\u2019d you get those?\u201d icellphonezz asked. \u201cBecause the ones in the States, they don\u2019t have SIM Trays.\u201d \u201cI have a distributor\u201d replied the iPhone seller. \u201cYou can tell right away that\u2019s an XR, that\u2019s an iPhone XR, that\u2019s not a 15,\u201d replied icellphonezz. \u201cYou got my little brother for $1200 yesterday [\u2026] so basically you scammed him [\u2026] he needs his money back\u201d. \u201cI don\u2019t have his money right now bro\u201d the man responded, and moved to get back into the car after being asked for his information. icellphonezz clearly didn\u2019t believe that if the men left they would come back with the money, so he and his brother proceeded to grab the open passenger door, preventing the car from moving. \u201c$1200, right now, right now!\u201d icellphonez shouted, but the men wouldn\u2019t give up the money, and it appears he threw a punch before they sped off, hitting another car in the process. Heated car chase ensues The men tried to escape, driving off suddenly again when stopped by the man and his little brother for the money, until eventually they were tracked down again in a supermarket car park and gave up the chase. In the final clip of the video, one of the alleged scammers can be heard saying \u201cI was just rolling with him I didn\u2019t even know what was going on,\u201d as he gives back the money. \u201cYou got all your money back, right?\u201d the icellphonezz asked, to which his younger brother responded by pulling a stack of $1200 in cash out of his pocket to show the camera. \u201cJust know it\u2019s love fool, real sh*t\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man pursues iPhone \u201cscammer\u201d in car chase for ripping off little brother for $1200 Instagram: @icellphonezzTwo iPhone salesmen were hunted down in a car chase after allegedly scamming a man\u2019s little brother for over $1000 for fake iPhones.
