    So I’ve been scammed yesterday by buying an HD650 for €150. He’s active again, here’s the new ad for an HD650 for €80

    https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/sennheiser-hd-650/2437422002-172-22982

    I’m sure it’s the same guy; he keeps writing German when I write English, and keeps insisting on the friends & family Paypal option. Except this time he send me a personal pic of his 650 with my name on it, meaning it’s his own pic.

    Can someone extract the metadata from this pic as to reveal his location, so I can go to the police?

    If you have that much concern, then just walk away. It's not worth the risk

    I think that @Tekker is more interested in warning others and perhaps unveiling the guy.

    I don't see any location information in the exif data.

    Not only that, but it’s so I can provide the police with his location
