I filled out the police’s online Fraud form. Takes 20 minutes or so to complete, at the end tells you that they dont have the resources to investigate every complaint. Guess that isnt surprising, but a bit disappointing.
I’ve got the guy’s name and address, maybe I should report him to my local police station instead?
Neither my bank or his will take any action either. They say it is a “police matter”.
So, if you can find people as dumb as me to dupe, and avoid sleuths like Daffy, then looks like you are free to carry out fraud over the internet with little fear of repercussions?!
I’d encourage anyone else who he has conned to fill out the online form too, if enough of us do so, then the police may look into this further.
