Hello,
I’m posting to alert as many people as possible about a scam that a family member has recently fallen victim to.
Indeed, she made a transfer of €1250 to an account opened at FPE Charenton (Financière des Paiements Électroniques) to purchase a dressage saddle. While visiting their site, she was reassured by the requirement of an ID to open an account. Additionally, the ad on Leboncoin.fr was very detailed, well-crafted, and the person ended their emails with "cavalièrement," a term used in the equestrian world, and sent additional photos.
She ultimately contacted her bank to initiate the transfer. She kept the email and SMS exchanges until the money was in the person’s account, then when she followed up for shipping, he replied that he was busy with work and would send it in two days, and then nothing...
We asked people knowledgeable in IT to see if it was possible to track the IP address to get confirmation... And indeed, the IP address pointed us to Benin.
The next step is to file a complaint, which will be done either tonight or tomorrow morning, but what I would like to know is if there are others who have fallen victim to this person and if there are chances that the complaint will lead to results.
I also have his bank details, but I’m not sure if it’s legal to publish them... In any case, after a bit of research, I came across another ad from him selling a bike: "Cannondale Supersix hi mod Evo Di2 size 54," still in the municipality of Bezinghem and under the pseudonym "Jean."
Thank you for your responses.

Hello
Not good, FPE is an anonymous screen like PCS:
https://nickel.eu/fr/qui-sommes-nous
There is probably a way to cancel the crook's debit card.. But let's not kid ourselves, the money has likely already been used.. Go to a police station and urgently schedule an appointment with an investigating officer specialized in cybercrime.
Take the opportunity to file a report regarding the copy of your ID card.. Identity theft is likely to follow.. Keep the order number or a copy.
See you later

I just fell for the same scam, yes I know, not very smart now that I think about it, what an idiot! Same bank FPE with the name and address of someone living in Haut-Rhin, who of course I called and was not aware of this sale and is even worried that their identity has been taken to create a bank account, especially since I thought you needed a lot of documents with the new KYC standard, I believe! I'm going to file a complaint on Monday!
How did your case end, did you recover your funds?
Best regards
