the thing is that its so obvious how you set it up, mentioning your brother, how it disappeared, first you try to say it just disappeared, then if you dont get it back and they reveal how you dropped it you blame it on your brother and ask for it back,
you cant prove you didnt just drop it and get scammed, if he gave it back everyone would start "losing" items that they really lost in a scam.
ive got no tolerance for such obvious ploys, im a skeptic for a good reason.
