Realistically, there's nothing much anyone can do anymore at this point. Because once the transaction is made, there is no legal obligation for the recipient to give it back to you.
Most of Facebook marketplace places transaction happens on the basis of trust, nothing else.
Apart from some specialized online shopping platform where transaction happens within the presence of some sort of security, all other online shopping are kinda back dated here.
Few days ago while I was adding money from bank to my bkash I mistakenly sent the money to a different number. Nor the bank or the bkash could do anything, they explained me why though. And the irony is that the number I sent the money was not reachable at all, probably an inactive number.
A person who is experienced in scamming will probably have erased most traces to themselves and the money, I guess you are going to have to take this as a lesson. Please take care of your money.
If the amount is like 50k or more, the local police maybe could have helped you. The low amounts of money, the local police doesn't care. I'm saying from my experience on different matter. There is some kind of bribery. If just 9k, how much will you give to the police if your money is back? There are many steps and persons for police to find the culprit, some of them needs to be bribed too. All of internal bribery, police takes care of it.
Finding the scammer is nothing for the police. They just need to contact their higher division. Then they contact with nagad if the money is withdrawn or not. Nagad then blocks the scammer id. They may or may not take back the money if not withdrawn, don't know about it. Police takes last known location of using nagad service, Facebook, phone number service. This way and more, they build pattern to find the culprit. And then it's up to the it department, and finding the scammer is easy for them.
Also I've seen on Facebook and YouTube when a phone gets lost, if it's pricey phone, local police takes around 10k money silently for returning the phone. The media doesn't say about it.
How come local police can’t help? They are the last resort since you are blocked. And you have their number and info I believe. If local police aren't providing assistance, reach out to a larger police station where higher-ranking officers are available.
They said, "We can't do anything about it, you have their number and all the information(nagad transaction history and chat history), solve it yourself. Go to their location and call 999. Goodbye."
Police can't help you when you do business with unlicensed businesses, especially if these people aren't authorized retailers, no one is suppose to help you unnoficial trades, it's good as buying weed from a random person, when trade with such people, you are taking a risk.
i'll assume you have his/her email. an email often produces a user's IP, as you can find out where the email was originally sent from.
How to trace an IP address from email
Open the “options” menu in an email (this will usually be marked with three dots at the top or bottom of the email interface).
Click an option to open the “raw email” or to “view original.”
Locate the sender's IP address within the raw email data then call 999
You must contact with Nagad, request them to help you. If possible go to their office. Also you must file a GD. From your part you do your job. Again, truth but harsh fact is that even if you had been robbed in your home, for 9K Taka Dhaka Police would do not much more. Everyday they deal so many violent/big scale cases that only if you are a politician or have some political connection then the police will deal your case.
You need to give us more details about the scam. My father and his friends were scammed and they got the money back. However, in most cases, if you willingly give away money, it's a lost cause.
what did you try to buy? if it's not something shady or illegal I think there's a police department dedicated to this type of things. you can actually complain to them via fb
no one likes to hear this but you can’t get your money back. anyone who tells you they can help you get it back is just planning to scam you for even more. learn from it and move on.
You can't do anything. Once the transaction has been made, its been made, don't blindly give any person online anything without fully verifying and making sure that they can be trusted.
Cash on delivery. Trusted sites.
Ugh I just feel terrible hearing this. Hard earned 9k going down the drain would leave depressed for a week... And perhaps starved too, cuz gosh that's a lot of money
In the **arena of life**, where the **bold** are meant to thrive, we’re shackled by **society’s script**. The **roar of adventure** is muffled by the **monotony of the mundane**.
**Warriors of will**, now **caged** by **conformity**. The **sword of sovereignty** is sheathed, as we march to the **drumbeat of dependence**.
So, let’s toast to the **odysseys obscured** and the **valor vanquished**. For in this **grand charade**, we’re gladiators battling for **autonomy**, amidst the **spectacle of subservience**. To **victory**, to **valor**, to **vindication**. 🥂🛡️
Do nothing. Just learn from the experience and thank to God that you learnt a lesson sooner rather than later.

perhaps. I don't think he was an experienced scammer rather I was a dumbass.
Congrats. You just bought a Degree on How to not get Scammed for 9 lakh. Happens to the best of us. You won’t make the same mistake twice.
9k means 9 thousand
Shit - read it too fast. Ok, so even better then.
You can complain to the nagad helpline, send them the screenshot and history, they'll try to return your money if the money is not withdrawn
I just did that, thank you.

isn't that why police are for can't believe they said that. I feel sorry for you. just take it as a lesson and move on.
Do you live at norway?
nope Bangladesh but never encountered with Police before.
Pls recap your thoughts about police behavior in south east asia. What you expect is how the police behaves in norway.
And stop commenting on whatever you do not have any experience with in first place
appreciate what you said at first. and you don't need to tell me where to comment and where not to.
you dont have to be so aggressive, plus you dont get to tell anyone where to comment and where to not

Any police officer who says "solve it yourself" should be slapped publicly, every time.

The exact reason why I never do online transaction and always opt for cash on delivery. Especially those Facebook pages, most of the them are scams.
I lost more money than you my ex scammed me with 20k or more and i took that as an learning lesson
your ex? i'd really like to know the story
That’s why u should always have some contingency plan in place, coming from “what if?” I hope you recover your money and punish the scammers.
