THIS is why you don't leave home without learning the basics. My daughters hated the 'life' lessons when they were in HS but, at least the only stupid decisions they have made were in the realm of personal relationships.

Go, ask your parents for advice and LISTEN. I love how the young always think their situation is unique.

You do understand that you can go to the police about this right? They might not do anything but its worth reporting.

If you really want the "lulz" you should see if 4chan will "personal army" for you. They might actually be down for messing with a Gypsy, which based on the old "left over driveway sealer" scam, I'd say it was.

I will be going to the cops and my bank about this, but the fact that they're still answering the phone and "saying" he's going to come is probably still not scammy enough for anyone to do anything about it. Not that I expect the money back, but it won't hurt to ask if the bank can do anything at all.

PM me your bank routing number and account number. With the cell number I will track the perp down and get your $300 back. I will simply deposit it electronically in your account.

Oh and your social security number might be needed as well... for security purposes.
