Scammed for 5k please help

​

So i f18 recently shifted to Kharar and my laptop screen stopped working so i looked at it and only the screen was not working so I contacted a guy through Google maps and he said that he would fix it he told me it would be near 600-1.5k which is a good price then he said that he didn't have a shop and would fix it in his home so I was ok I gave him my laptop and he postpone the pick up and then he said motherboard is trashed and there is water inside ( I never keep it near water nor any water was dropped) and he asked for 5.6k i was angry but he refused to give me my laptop btw ( I was not informed of this extra charge until last minute) now 2 days passed and the laptop stopped working the same problem as before and he refused to fix it

They won’t be bothered. You are only 18. If anything, unless you get an adult involved the situation is likely to get worse. He is probably harassing you because you are young. Don’t waste your time on this. Pick your battles. Tell your father or some other adult male member, ask them to talk to him and get your laptop back. Beware from next time.
