Criminal attorney, I bought a ticket through a secondhand trading app and I think I've been scammed.

Hello. This is the Daeryun Law Firm criminal attorney.

If you have suffered damage from a secondhand trading scam, the most reliable course of action is to first visit your local police station and file a report.

When filing the report, you must bring your ID along with materials that can prove the scam damage, such as chat records and deposit transaction history.

You can write a complaint at the police station civil affairs office and submit it according to the guidance.

You can also pursue the reporting procedure through the platform you used for the transaction.

For example, in the case of Joonggonara, the following procedure applies.

▶ Submit a "Dispute/Complaint Processing Request" within the platform

▶ The person in charge verifies the facts

▶ Processing results are notified within a maximum of 7 business days

In this process, if linked with investigative agencies, necessary materials may be forwarded to the police station, but criminal punishment does not occur immediately just from an online platform report.

Ultimately, the buyer must submit the damage facts and materials to the police themselves.

For accurate procedures and required documents, it is safest to consult with a criminal attorney.
