Procedure in case of online fraud
A structured approach is crucial in order to take the right steps after an online scam and increase the chances of successfully limiting the damage. Here are the key measures:
Chronological documentation of the events
It is important to collect and document all relevant information. This includes correspondence by email, WhatsApp or telephone, photos, videos, invoices and bank statements. These documents serve as evidence and are essential for subsequent criminal prosecution and civil proceedings. A detailed and chronological list of events can help to reconstruct the exact course of the fraud and identify those responsible.
Secure communication
All means of communication such as emails, WhatsApp messages and phone calls should be backed up. It is helpful to document the time and duration of the conversations and, if necessary, to name witnesses who can confirm the communication. This can strengthen the credibility of the statements and help to make the fraud traceable. It is also essential to save screenshots and chat histories.
Research your own name
An internet search of your own name can provide information on whether and where digital traces have been left behind. This can help to identify the perpetrators and trace the fraud. It is advisable to regularly check whether your own name appears in connection with the fraud in online forums, social networks or on other websites. Thorough research can also help to prevent further damage by allowing action to be taken at an early stage.
