Question

Responding to Fraud

You see an ad for a car on an online marketplace. The
price is great. The owner asks for a partial payment to
hold the car for you. After emailing the owner, you wire
$250 directly from your bank account. The owner
promises to deliver the car in person, where you plan to
pay the remaining amount in cash. However, when the
day of delivery arrives, the owner never shows up. Too
late, you realize you have been defrauded. When you
attempt to contact the owner, for whom you only have an
email address and a bank account number, you get no
response.
What is the best response to this scenario?
O To avoid angering the seller, do not flag the account,
but send a firmly worded email to the seller to
demand your money back.
When the marketplace directs you to their
disclaimer about potentially fraudulent ads, read the
disclaimer carefully and wait.
O Contact your bank, flag the account, give the
marketplace the transaction details, report the fraud
to the IC3 and the state's fraud line, and file a police
report.
Accept that you have lost your money forever and
take no action.
