Reporting fraud
In Turkish: Dolandırıcılığı bildirme
Telling your bank, the platform involved and the authorities about a scam, which can stop losses and help others.
Report in this order: first your bank, because speed can affect whether a transfer can be stopped; then the platform or app where it happened, so the account can be taken down; then the police or the public prosecutor's office for a formal complaint.
Reporting is not an admission of fault. Many people are caught by these scams. Details such as exact forms or channels can differ, so ask your bank or the authority how to proceed. If you need legal advice, ask a lawyer.
What to do
- Call your bank first, with the time, amount and account details of what happened.
- Report the scam account or message to the platform, then to the police or prosecutor.
- Keep a note of every step, with the date and who you spoke to.
