reporting a fraud case?

by **Arif Shah** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:57 pm

Hello,

I had a trade with a person on tori.fi. He promised to send the package through post. I made the payment to him through a bank transfer. However, He has cheated me and did not send the package. I have his email conversation, sms conversation and payment receipt of the money transfer to his wife's account. He is no longer receiving my calls and not responding to my text messages

Do you think I should report it to the police? I am sure the police can track him through him mobile number, email and his wife's bank account. Even though the trade was of a smaller amount, still his behavior and deception has made me very upset and now I want to teach him a lesson so that he does not cheat anyone else

yes, you can do it. Usually these matters are reported to police so you are pretty much on the right track.

U R in a f.kd up situation, police usually takes 9 months to respond, and after 9 months they ask you your demand either punishment or compensation, if you select punishment, you'll go to court and the guy goes to some few hours civil service (as this will be deemed as small case, so, no jail). If you select compensation with money then again you may go to court and after 1 and half year you'll receive some amount as compensation.

Don't forget, if you earn good money, No legal assistance, that means hire the lawyer, pay his fees and usually lawyer's fees are higher than the compensation amount. Although the fraud will be punished, you have to pay your share of amount to prove his guilt.

So, forgery, fraud cases, etc are developing with speed in Finland.... soon it'd be like other East Europe, if the govt doesn't act responsibly. Just imagine, if you pay 1000 euros to lawyer to get 500 euros as compensation will you report this kind of cases again ? Heck no.... And the data will be published by police saying there were 25% decrement in fraud cases in Finland during 2012.... all very JOKE

BTW, this is not rant, I have been through this court and police thing, so, its coming from the experience

Usually loser pays the winner's legal fees.

Usually? I thought it was always. Winner just pays whatever his/her lawyer cost etc.
