how do i file a police report on scam? i bought an iphone from carousell,i transferred the money to the seller and never get any responds from them anymore.

Firstly, you have to go to a police station, don’t go to bomba, jpa, or perhilitan. You want to go to balai polis. Once you are there, enter the police station and wait for your turn. Once its your turn, you tell the whole story. From the beginning ya, what time you wake up in the morning, what you eat, how many time you fart before going for a shower, everything that will lead up to the incident. Then you pay about RM 2 iirc for the police report, then you wait for the police to take action.

Bro, 1K is not a small amount, and you should have been more vigilant. If you are planning on spending 1K, you should have done your research, you should have known what are the telltale signs of a scammer, you should have known that its too good to be true. I sympathise your loss but i don’t think you should be buying things online before you have done your research.

Also, i see you also have the allegedly suspects photo, do you have proof that the person in the photo is indeed the scammer?, are you 100% sure that the picture is not some random dude?, what happens if the actual suspect is somebody else and the person in the picture is actually innocent and have nothing to do with the scam. Scammers tend to use other peoples photos as to conceal their own identity.

You could report to MCMC and they would at least have some ability to check the money trail since you mentioned you had transferred the money, i assume through online banking.
