Should I report a small amount fraud with OLX.pl etc.?

Report. I have an almost identical situation. The amount of PLN 200 (it is not a small amount), after the payment to the account, the contact stopped.
It's best to visit the Police after at least a month. Print the correspondence and, above all, the confirmation of the transfer.
The fraud is prosecuted ex officio and there is no lower amount, even 10 groszy can be reported.

I reported in May, so far silence, because unfortunately every step of the police is decided by the court, which is not too quick.

Scare the police that fraud costs 8 years. Give the ultimate termim and don't be fooled like a kid. This is what the scammer is counting on to finally let go.

Quote:

Article 286§ 1 Whoever, in order to gain financial benefits, causes another person to disadvantageously dispose of his own or someone else's property by misleading him or by exploiting an error or inability to properly understand the action taken, shall be subject to the penalty of deprivation of liberty for a term of between 6 months and years 8.

I was buying a broken phone for parts. The dude had an account for over 2 years.

Report as much as possible.
My friend was dragged on the allegro for PLN 600, the police wanted to ignore the topic, but as he said that they MUST accept EVERY report, they accepted it with grace.
Then it turned out that the guest turned people over to several dozen thousand zlotys.
It was even in the news.
Now they are proud to have contributed ...

He was selling cameras worth PLN 1,200 for half the price, and small portable mp3 equipment, etc.
Kind of crap, but he was mowing the money, because what it turned out was collecting for a trip abroad, unfortunately he did not manage to

The police are not a hotline, you only give your ID. They have their procedures and it took about an hour to write down my testimony and establish the facts from what I brought them.
Unfortunately, they have to write down everything.
It is about a month from the transaction.

I preferred to print. And it was probably a good idea, because the pages were counted and officially included in the files.

Will I get my money back, I don't know. As far as I know, this could be quite a long time. If they check it and it turns out that there are still others deceived, the case will drag on. At the end, a bailiff will step in to get the money from him, if he has anything to do with it.

My story was like this: I bought a low value socket 775 desktop I2C over olx. Seller: Gorzów Wlk, Photo, description, everything ok. After 1.5 weeks the computer gets "packed", or rather a cardboard stuck to the case. As it turned out, the whole center was replaced with a computer from 17-20 years ago, the casing is bent, the fans are barely spinning, noise, a drive like a tractor in the room, almost the stench of old age from the open-air museum.
I sent a message saying nothing was right and a clearly changed measure. I am sending it back.
The ex-wife selling the data, but her husband ran everything and she receives the message "well, what do you not like ..."
I do not conduct discussions and negotiations, but send back and demand a refund, declaring that if I do not receive it, I report fraud and extortion to the police. (the hardware was worthless)
After sending the computer back, he receives a message that it will be hard with money because I "broke" the computer, I smashed the casing, the motherboard, and best of all, I bent the pins from the processor and so allegedly devastated the computer.
I want to send pictures of everything.
If I damaged it so much, I would probably see what I did.
For this seller it was not a problem to break everything because it had no value anyway.
Message with the damage report from the courier.
I stand with my money or the police will take care of his wife, which is probably not guilty, and they will question her.
The guy transferred the money, but I lost it in returning the scrap.

Should I report to the police? it's worth even 50 zlotys so that there are fewer such scammers and they are afraid.

Of course, you should report this type of fraud or scam. Except that, in addition to reporting at home, you should also, for example, by phone, make a notification in the city from which the parcel was sent, that is the place of potential residence, the "perpetrator". On the other hand, from the police station to which we belong, we need to collect the confirmation of receipt of the notification and send it to the victim with a note that everything still needs to be "reversed". Besides, prudence and careful analysis of the seller. The police are not able to think for us and often do not want to take responsibility for our thoughtlessness.

Therefore, I try to collect in person at all costs or if this is not possible, then a package on delivery
When I bought a hook for my car, it was at a good price, but the guest only make a transfer for him and talk that I will not pick up, I will give the wrong address and some fairy tales that the post office will not pay him money
Avoid such people from a distance
Another one, one phone call and an SMS with my address, was delivered to my company in two days

I recently dealt with a fraud but it was about a month ago (over) so I don't want to go back to it anymore. Admittedly, it was only an attempt to cheat, but now if it had happened, I would have acted differently. I would have notified. Even if it had come to the bones, the police would have known her by now. She knew who it was, where he lived and what he did. Or otherwise, I would get a phone / e-mail to the district district competent for this baby's residence and let me know what he does and describe the tactics.

Buddy, no bad guilt is rude, in contact with the victim. The basis of action is to inspire trust. Report. Often, scammers trick many people into drones, hoping that no one will want to pursue their own and wave their hand. It gives them a lot of income. However, a series of such petty cheaters is regarded by law as an ongoing offense and the amounts are added together.
It is always worth buying cash on delivery, and even I will send a brick, after receiving the package, you can block the transfer and recover the money.

You are wrong. From my example, a woman scared me with the police that I hadn't sent her the things for which she hadn't paid yet.

Also save your correspondence (e-mails) as files, but only in the original format! (there is such an option)

Report every scam, no matter how much money, let the rags know it's not that easy !!! I was beaten by a ragmith from Pabianice, I bought a Pioneer from him, and in fact an Avica, some scrap from Chrysler. The blood flooded me, my nerves let go and I started to scare him, it got to the point that with my Ukrainian friend, we were going to take a trip to this garbage and pat him a bit for delaying returning the cash, but I thought that I would break the rag's nose and serve as a human. I reported the case to the police with a complete set of printouts (auction, correspondence, etc.). After about 2-3 months, I get information that the type wants to return the money, he was so blunt that he gave his account number to which the courier was to pay the money charged for the package to me and they sniffed out the ragmith by the account number. He gave up as to the zeta and that's why you have to exterminate such bastards without thinking.

Hello, a friend of mine had a situation where she bought clothes on OLX, she paid and did not come to her, she was at the police and was redeemed (PLN 80). A has provided all the data.

Today I got a letter from the prosecutor's office. The first thing is the information that the collected evidence confirms the crime and the suspect has been identified.

The second thing is the information about the suspension of the proceedings until the fraudster is caught because he is hiding.

As you can see, the police and the prosecutor's office are not giving up. The scam expires after 15 years.
