Report a scam to your classified ad (fake buyer) - THESEE (Online Service)
The signaling through this online service can be used by any individual (major or minor), regardless of nationality.
You don't have to give your identity. You only need to provide an email address.
Under what conditions is it possible to report on THESEE?
L'advertisement scam is a infringement even if it's the buyer's fault.
You can report on this online service if:
- The relationship remained virtual
- You sent a good but the buyer never paid you
- The buyer has asked you to advance certain fees before the shipment of the goods
For example, the buyer asked you to use a paid service to deliver the goods and promised you a refund of the fees you paid. To convince you, he presented you with documents (e.g. check, emails) containing false information. Eventually, the person doesn't tell you anything.
When reporting, you must specify the amount you have been charged. It is not necessary that a payment and/or collection has taken place.
FYI
If you are an adult, you can also file a complaint on THESEE.
For minors, the complaint must be lodged by their legal representatives (e.g. parents).
What are the consequences of reporting to THESEE?
Reporting is not a complaint. It consists solely in informing the investigation services of theThe offense and to provide them with information to identify the perpetrator.
If you report a scam to the classified ad, you will not be kept informed of the outcome of your report.
FYI
If you have already filed a complaint with a police station or a gendarmerie brigade, you can also make a report on THESEE.
