Hi all,

Lo behold I recently got scammed for a used CPU but it is not in Lowyat here
The thing happened in Carousell

Short story:
- check seller has only 1 review from another seller (this one seller has good reputation in Carousell)
- bought cpu after bargained
- transferred to seller
- same late night the account suspended in Carousell
- I messaged him but he's not replying in whatsapp. Messaged did get through but not read

so my question is, what should and can I do here? Probably lost the money but wanted some bit of justice
- report police?
- lodge to KPDNKK?

anyone dealt with this before and can help advise? does lodging Police report help at all? will they be able to get the culprit?

I do have his account in Carousell, Phone number, Chats in whatsapp and his bank account number with his name


Thanks

Yes, make a police report.

But realistically, there's nothing else you can do.

I see, thanks
Just wondering if there are cases of successful conviction after reporting..

Still, i think i'll drop by the police station for this after gather some evidence and info later
