Hello, I just got scammed buying an iPhone 4S for 165 euros on leboncoin on September 27. I sent a check to a person at 11 rue de la passerelle 59200 Tourcoing made out to Rekik Saba. This person cashed the check and did not send the phone. It seems to me that other people have been taken in like I was, if so. Surely together we can do something. I'm sorry for the spelling, I am dyslexic.

Hello
Le bon coin.fr is based on a simple idea: the good deal
is just around the corner! To post or search for
ads, click on the region of your choice and
find the good deal nearby
Transactions are done face to face, so there is no possibility of scams
Those who do not respect this very simple rule and use WU, Paypal, or other payment methods and then report a scam, I will pity when I have the time
Le Bon Coin: is a local site! We buy and sell
NEARBY
A single rule avoids all scams: We go to pick up the item since we don't live far from the seller.. we check it and pay on the spot. if it suits you, we take it home
Le bon coin being a classifieds site... and not an online store like eBay... there is therefore no need for buyer protection systems, that's why there aren't any... and there are no traces of your purchases or sales -
Hello everyone, I wanted to thank you for your advice. It only takes being taken in just once for that lesson to stick. Yesterday, I went to the police station to file a complaint, and I'm going back in a week for additional information. Regarding the bank, I will inquire by giving them the check number, but I doubt that will do anything since the check was indeed cashed the day after it was sent. On a forum, I noticed that this person had already scammed several people, and they probably took a break for two months because there were no messages following those written by the victims. Please, if you have any additional information that could help advance the investigations with the other victims and the police, let me know. I will keep you updated on any changes. Best regards.

Good evening,
Unfortunately, you are one of thousands who fall victim to this kind of scam.
Whenever it involves value, you should never trust blindly: either go in person or find another way to verify.
Otherwise, for next time, I recommend sites like "priceminister." In fact, you pay the site and not the seller, and when you confirm the good receipt of your package, then priceminister releases the payment and gives it to the seller.
Check with your bank to possibly stop the check by explaining the situation to them, and if you have the name of the person involved: file a complaint at your local police station.
Good luck...

Hello
I am a new victim, do you have any news from the gendarmerie??-
Good evening
SCAM CONFIRMED!!!
Well done! I was about to make the same mistake but this time for a Samsung S4.
I am filing a complaint for attempted extortion and I am joining as a civil party...
So beware of this person named REKIK SADA or REKIK SABA, known on leboncoin.fr under the name "NANOUCHE" or "OUCHE NANE". Her email is "babaa01[at]live.fr"
She is said to be residing in Nord Pas de Calais, Department 54 (Mouvaux, Roubaix, Wattrelos...)
TO BE AVOIDED!
Have a good evening and good luck.

Hello, I just called the police today where I filed a complaint, it seems that the thief has just been caught. The police have located a person at the address I provided. If you haven't filed a complaint, I advise you to do so as soon as possible. The case is being processed, it will take several months. Contact the police for more information about this matter!
Best regards, Nicolas -
