Scams
Fake receipt scam
In Turkish: Sahte dekont dolandırıcılığı
A buyer sends a screenshot of a bank receipt as proof of payment, but no money has actually reached your account.
A receipt image is easy to edit or to copy from a real payment. Scammers send one, add urgency ("my courier is waiting"), and hope you hand over the item before checking your account.
Only your own banking app or account statement shows whether money has arrived. Some transfers also show as pending for a while, so the amount appearing in your own account is what counts.
What to do
- Never release goods on the strength of a screenshot. Wait for the money in your own account.
- Check your own banking app, not a link or a number the buyer gives you.
- Be most careful when the buyer pushes you to hurry.
