I recently bought an Xbox One "for 60 euro, apparently too good… And well he was super friendly etc. And everything but he postponed the delivery all the time because apparently his daughter had to go to the hospital all the time, typical blah blah and that was too colorful for me so I wanted my money back which he apparently did too, he sent me a screenshot of the online banking transfer etc I thought cool
(That was on wednesday)
And today my money is not there yet and I have the feeling that I fell for a fraudster, I'm really desperate because I've saved my pocket money zsm and jz it's gone, what should I do or do best because I want to don't lose my money…
When he sends you proof that he sent the money back
then wait? The banks are currently very busy, we have the end of the month and that sometimes takes 2 days if you don't have an immediate transfer
You have to go to the police and file a complaint. Or via the Internet watch.
Did you tell your parents about it? They can certainly help you.
If he sends you proof that he sent the money back then wait?
Are you serious? The proof is fake anyway.
EBay or eBay classifieds?
How did you pay
If his name and the amount are correct and it says that the transfer was successful, how should that be fake?
On Ebay classifieds and by bank transfer
Yes, I think we'll have to go to the police then
Photoshop? HTML edited (via developer tools from the browser)? Etc.
The money is gone. The police did not investigate for 60 euro, learned the hard way - because the offer stank to heaven and Ebay classifieds informs you when registering and before contacting that the portal is intended for collection - because of the many fraudsters
A screenshot of a bank transfer…
Alas. That means NOTHING, I'll fake something like that for you in 5 minutes.
Oh man what am I doing now
No, that does NOT "take 2 days". Today, transfers are fully electronic, we no longer live in the Middle Ages, where transfers were brought to the recipient bank by mounted messenger.
There are also REGULATIONS, the bank is legally obliged to take the money. Depending on the type of transfer, to be carried out within 24 hours within Germany. So SO that it is on the recipient's account!
The banks ALWAYS have a lot to do.
And a photo of a transfer is no proof
The police are very much investigating, at least first. If it is a lone perpetrator, the prosecutor (!) Will stop it, not the police.
If this is a serial offender… Then the investigation continues.
However, you still don't have your money. THAT takes time, if you get it back at all.
So you should threaten to report that first.
Then, if it is still not there (after a maximum of 7 days.) Show. Even if that doesn't work. Maybe this is a repeat offender and then, maybe, he will be punished.
You will probably never see the money again anyway. And if so, then not in the foreseeable future.
His number no longer exists when I write to him there's only a tick and calling is also not possible, so I really screwed up Rip pocket money…
Show it anyway. Then it's up to the police to find him.
What are you saying? Money takes 2 days. I often get money from my friend who doesn't have a real-time transfer and he sent me money the day before yesterday
As far as I know, the threshold is 50 euro, above which the procedure is not so easily closed. And it is determined first anyway.
