Hello,
I was a victim of a scam on leboncoin today. Indeed, after responding to an ad for a Nintendo switch, I contacted the seller via WhatsApp who informed me that he only accepted TONEO First coupons and not cash. Of course, the maximum amount for the coupons is 250 euros, which corresponds to the price of the Nintendo.
The person then asked me to verify if the code was correct via the following website: http://www.verifier-tickets.fr
Like a fool, I entered the code on the fake site, which probably allowed them to exploit my code. The seller then changed the price, claiming that his husband did not agree, asking me to purchase another toneo coupon for 100 euros, which I refused.
My questions are as follows:
1) Can I file a complaint? If so, should I do it at the police station?
2) Will I ever get my money back? Or do you think it will likely be impossible?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Unfortunately for me as well, today I became a victim of this scam... The worst part is that it was for a car priced at €1000... Looking back, I really wonder how I didn't see anything. I'm someone who is usually quite clear-headed in everyday life and yet! In my case, it was an ad that appeared on my Facebook feed for car sales, a girl with a pretty normal profile who provided the necessary information, nothing to signal at first glance. I was charmed, this person told me she is hard of hearing and prefers to communicate by message, which I can understand up to that point. Then she said she lives in a shelter an hour away from my city and doesn't want to leave with such a sum for precaution, and that she would come with her husband to bring me the car because she needs to request permission to leave in order to travel. She told me to enter the code for the validity certificate of the tickets... and BAM, here's the link (https://toneofirst-statut.000webhostapp.com/). I quickly realized the scam when I never received the confirmation email, and when I contacted the site using the number on the tickets, the person told me, "Ma'am, we do not operate like that here, you are a victim of a scam and we cannot unfortunately do anything for you..." So please, it can happen to anyone, be very vigilant. Just the fact of not having entered the code would have allowed me to recover this money. I'm in no position to give lessons, but if today I took the time to write to you, even though I'm completely shaken by what just happened to me, it's so that as many people as possible don't make this mistake... I am 21 years old and my savings have just gone up in smoke to serve, I don't know who, and certainly not people who have earned this money like I do through hard work. A complaint has been filed, but unfortunately, it's difficult to seek justice in this kind of case, so I don't expect anything... BE CAREFUL.

I had the same thing with a gray Renault Clio for 1000 euros... the woman in a center... She needs a permit to go out... Strangely, she lives in the same village as me... The license plate is hidden in the photo... And paying in toneo, I had the exact same trick, but as soon as she mentioned toneo, I said bye.

Hello,
I also fell victim to this scam, but I realized it before giving the codes. Unfortunately, this is a double scam because Toneo First no longer sells its card and is itself a fraudulent company in default. The worst part is that tobacconists continue to sell these tickets. For those who want to take legal action, I plan to file a complaint; unity is strength.

Hello,
We encountered the same problem when searching for a studio for our student daughter on leboncoin.
The owner did not want cash even if withdrawn in front of him after the visit to the accommodation (no time to waste, as he lives 2 hours away from the place, he wanted a commitment from us that he wouldn't have to go back for nothing...)
Given the urgency, I purchased the top-ups of 3x250 € covering the rent and the security deposit. Luckily, we realized in time and conducted internet research.
Despite everything, we lost money because the fees on TONEOFIRST are very high:
- 15 € for purchasing the card,
- 20 € deducted for each top-up, totaling 60 € (with a monthly top-up limit, so this happened over 2 months)
- 2.5 € per withdrawal, totaling 7.5 € due to the maximum withdrawal limit
for a total of 82.50 €... we're doing well...
We reported the fraud and I've seen other ads in several cities (attractive photos, interesting prices, people inspiring pity due to health problems, ...).

Good evening, I just became a victim of the same scam on Le Bon Coin, renting a studio in Paris for our daughter, an interesting offer in terms of quality/price, nice photos. Unfortunately, I sent all the requested documents, passports, ID cards, pay slips, tax documents, address, to an email address he gave me just before removing the ad (2 hours after it was posted). I received an email at 1:07 AM this morning, asking me to pay €800 as a deposit via Toneo tickets, and that I would only get the exact address after that... I found that suspicious, so I called the number he gave me. He told me he was Corsican but had an African accent. He got angry because I was asking too many questions and hung up on me... then sent another email asking if I had "gone to the tobacco shop" to buy the card and tickets! I realized it was a scam after checking the forums. Thankfully, I didn't buy the tickets, but I'm stressed about having sent him all our passports and other official documents...
Hello
I got caught and I lost €1000 because I trusted someone. So I'm warning you:
1/ when you buy a Tonéo First recharge, you won't be able to get your money back, unless you buy a Tonéo First card and the withdrawal fees are very high; by the way, I’d like to point out that they ask you to pay in cash! One might wonder why.
2/ as long as this person doesn’t have the secret code on your ticket, they obviously can't cash your money. BUT they gain your trust by asking for a photo while hiding the code.
3/ the scam will happen when they ask you to go to a website and ENTER YOUR CODE to verify its validity (!!!). You can even “hide” your codes if you want. However, this site IS FRAUDULENT.
You will receive a message saying that this code is invalid. This will give them an excuse not to proceed further, but anyway, bye-bye your money!
Tonéo First cannot verify the validity of the codes; you can call them. If you bought the ticket at a tobacco shop, their number is on it.
If it's an email you received, you can paste the address in the URL field and launch the search; it might be that this address is already listed as a scam.
I wish you a good day and I'm available if I can help.

Hello, I just got in touch with a woman for the sale of a Clio for 900 euros, and she only wants to be paid via Toneo First.
I’m not sure if it’s a scam. She suggests going through a tobacconist.
I’m not familiar with this payment method.
She sent me a photo of her ID.
I don't know what to do. I contacted her on a Facebook selling site.

Yes, these payment methods are untraceable...
In short, to buy a vehicle, you first need to see it, test it, "go through" the documents (maintenance invoices) and fill out the transfer documents... Only then, if it suits you, do you pay with a method that leaves a trace...
Furthermore, the identity card provided is a stolen card from a previous scam... In short, the vehicle does not exist, nor does the seller, or at least she is hiding behind a false identity to steal your money... Moreover, she will ask you to provide a copy of your ID... which will be used in other scams... at your expense...

Good evening, so I saw this ad on FB today and I found it very strange, a Clio 3 everything was perfect, no expenses to expect for 1000 euros, I sensed the scam from afar. She had specified that she was selling her car at a very low price because she had urgent money problems.
So I thought that maybe she was sincere; I was waiting to see what she would tell me by message. I sent her a message to ask if the car was still available; she immediately asked where I was from.
By saying my city where I live, she told me the same story that she was from the same city as me and that she lived in a center for the hearing impaired 45 minutes from my place (knowing that the closest one is 1 hour and 30 minutes from my place...). Anyway, from there I knew it was a scam, but to be sure before judging, I preferred to ask with another number if the car was available. She replied, except I said I was from a different city to see her reaction, and as by chance she told me she was from that city. So I was sure 100% now, and I was right to be wary and judge quickly.
So now I am currently talking to this woman; she is playing, so I am also playing with her. I’m waiting to see how far she is capable of going... I’m posting this comment to say that even at the end of 2019, she is still continuing her little game and to warn other people not to get scammed because these people still have not had any problems and they keep going...
So, I hope this will serve as a warning, and that people will check this forum before getting scammed...

Scam still ongoing in the Lyon area, same method: ad on FB for a 106, hard of hearing, who works far away and doesn’t want to have cash on her when returning, insists on having a "proof" of my seriousness by sending a photo of Moneo First... Thanks to your messages, I ended up telling her that I was filing a complaint for attempted fraud, he/she didn’t respond anymore.

Hi,
When you go on a website to provide information like this one or make purchases,
there's a minimum to check, especially when someone refers you there (email, message, etc.).
First off, the overall look, this site is quite ugly and poorly made.
But more importantly, you need to be able to determine what entity is behind it
(company, service, etc.).
Whether you know it or not, for example, does it refer to a company you know in real life?
If not, at least do some research.
The legal notices are made for that.
Here there aren't any, so it's a fake site created for the occasion.

Good evening,
Indeed, you have to be very careful. There's an African who tried to scam me today as well. He places ads on Leboncoin and asks you to pay with Toneo First vouchers. (He invents a story each time, like he's afraid to carry cash, that his cousin is coming to pick it up, that an uncle who is a delivery driver will come...). Then, either he asks you to test these codes on a fraudulent website or to send him pictures so he can verify they're the right vouchers. (The goal is of course to steal the codes printed on the vouchers.).
For the person who contacted me, here are two of his phone numbers (that I was able to retrieve from Leboncoin by contacting him:
-06 44 69 69 90
-07 56 96 07 03
It really annoys me to see these scammers stealing money from people, especially those in difficulty. Don’t hesitate to intimidate them and report them as soon as they mention Toneo First.

Hello
I had the same mishap as you, and I'm about to finalize a deal for a car. I was wondering if it might be the same person because it’s a woman like you, and she only wants payment by toneo card since she doesn't accept cash because her delivery person was robbed. If you could give me more information about this woman, that would be great.

Hello,
Well, unfortunately, I am part of this scam. It just happened to me. The famous woman who is hard of hearing, my husband and I just gave her €1000 thinking we had come across someone honest, but no. I would just say that these are people who have no scruples in stealing from people with limited means who earn their living by the sweat of their brow. I will simply say that she is a big "whore," sorry for my words, but I am disgusted...

The process always follows the same model:
The scammer poses as someone who doesn't want to travel for nothing and plays on others' mistrust to gain their confidence. Then, the scammed individuals send him codes without realizing that they are doing so to prove that they are trustworthy.
But if we think about it, it is not the buyer who wants to sell the car or something else remotely; it is the seller. From this principle, it is he who takes the risk of having to travel for nothing.
Furthermore, how does knowing that the person has the money guarantee the safety of the sale? In a normal transaction, a person can always change their mind.
Now, let’s imagine that this is a legal transaction; the use of these PCS code services or others incurs fees that are curiously only paid by the seller. The seller is too wary to travel for nothing, but he doesn’t mind paying additional fees for nothing, just in case the sale doesn’t go through?
African scams often go through complex and atypical systems; the simplest way, if you don't want to be scammed, is to limit yourself to systems that you know:
- Cash upon receiving the product and after verifying that it is in working condition. And still, you are not covered against possible hidden defects or that the vehicle may simply be stolen.

Hello
There is indeed a scam circulating on Leboncoin with Toneo First. I have dealt twice with a seller of a Nintendo Switch who sets a meeting with me and then informs me at the last minute that he doesn't accept cash to avoid counterfeit bills and for his security... lol. I then propose to withdraw the cash in front of him at the ATM, which he flatly refuses. Do you know anyone who refuses freshly withdrawn cash from the ATM??? Not me! So from the first time, I catch on to the scam. Today, it's the same.
I was supposed to meet a so-called Jeremy who was offering a Nintendo Switch, in the 19th district in front of the town hall. A short while before the meeting time, he sends me this message:
" For payment, I don't take cash due to counterfeit bills and my personal security, so I prefer a payment by secure prepaid ticket "
I think to myself, noooon not him again!!!
I then play along and here’s the rest of the conversation:
Me: No problem, I'll withdraw the bills in front of you at the ATM and give them to you
Him: It's a prepaid ticket called TONEO FIRST for 200€ that you're going to buy at a tobacconist. There are no other fees to expect, just the 200€ and you're all set. Very secure, quick and reliable. This ticket will allow me to load my MasterCard right after the sale. This avoids me taking cash from you. I'll take it in person as soon as we meet against the console and the whole lot.
Me: I won't have time to do it that way.
I’ll withdraw the 150€ in front of you at the ATM.
You can trust me, I’m a police officer at the Maisons Alfort barracks.
Him: No.
Me: What do you mean no? I’m arriving at the town hall in 2 minutes.
Him: Buy the ticket.
Toneo first for 150€
Me: I won't have time...
Are you there?... ATM, not otherwise.
Him: No
Me: What’s the problem with the 150€ from the ATM???
I try to call him, no answer.
Me: I’m trying to call you...
I don't think this is the first time I've dealt with you.
I'm reporting you on Leboncoin for fraudulent advertisement and refusal of payment method.
There you go, no news since then.
It’s almost comical.
He’s starting to piss me off, I really want to set a little trap for him...
Honestly, scammers really lack creativity!

I am dealing with a person who is delivering a scooter for 300 euros; he provides me with his identity card (the seller, not the delivery person) and asks for 2 Toneo First cards worth 150 euros each, with the scooter to be delivered before I pay. Do you think this is a scam?
Thank you for your response.

Hello
100% guaranteed scam....
Identity card surely stolen during a previous trick and untraceable means of payment....
And as for the "promise" to deliver before payment... it will quickly fall through.... you will need to provide the coupon codes for the so-called delivery to take place.......

I add... Even if the scooter existed and was delivered..... (highly unlikely) the untraceable payment method is "the worst possible thing"... Because if the scooter turns out to be stolen or trafficked, you will have no recourse.... (in case of theft you could even be accused of receiving stolen goods....)
Hello
I also got scammed on a Le Bon Coin ad while looking for a studio in Paris for my daughter.
Same procedure, same strategy as all the emails I just read below.
The person made me buy 350 euros worth of recharge vouchers (200 and another one for 150 euros), but when he sent me a second email asking me to go online and follow the procedure, I realized it was a scam and I didn't follow up.
The problem is how to get my money back because I really needed a toner card.... I went on the toner site, looked at the map of France that shows where to buy this "f****d card". Sorry for the vulgarity, but I'm really angry because it's a real hassle...
The issue is that their map is not up to date; many tobacco shops no longer exist. I called 21 tobacco shops before one of them answered: yes, we have it!!!!
It turns out that this tobacco shop is in Velizy Villacoublay in the commercial area of the mall, which is 600 km round trip from my place!
Despite the distance, I went there yesterday; I made the round trip in one day because I want to prove to this crook that we can be just as clever!
Now that I have this card in hand, I thought it was the end of the hassle... but not at all, because when I went to the toner site to load my vouchers, I realized that you can't load more than 200 euros worth of vouchers on it per month, and on top of that, they charged me 17 euros in fees!!!!
The mess continues.....

On FB easy sale group 73/74: scam regarding Berlingo ad. A hearing-impaired person in a very difficult family situation is selling their Berlingo for 800 euros, with 111,000 km from 2002. They are willing to come and show the car with all invoices, maintenance records, valid technical inspection, and transfer certificate. They want to be paid via Tonéo First. Their number is 0644693936. At no point is the person's name provided, and no contact information other than emails at the email address: passioncheval96@gmail.com.
Hello, I too was scammed when buying a car, following an ad I saw in a newspaper. I just got ripped off for €1500 by the same system using Tonéo First tickets. After the first text for inquiries, the person replied that she preferred to communicate by email because she has speech difficulties. To cut a long story short, the person eventually asked me to pay for the car using Tonéo First tickets and sent me a link to obtain a certificate for the purchase of the vehicle. That's where I entered the codes and got scammed stupidly. What I propose is that people like me who have been scammed come together to take joint action to try to get reimbursed by the company selling these tickets. I filed a complaint, but I don't have much hope that it will lead anywhere.
Good evening, the same thing just happened to me today even though I’m a cautious person. When I think about it, I don't even know how I could have been so foolish. I see that I’m not the only one this has happened to. In my case, I was so happy at the thought of having my first car for €700 that I naively trusted. I regret it so much; I'm upset that I got taken like that. I agree with you, we should band together to catch them. As for that guy, I won't let go; I will persevere and I will eventually get him!
Hello,
Don't get your hopes up for the legal actions; most of these scams are set up outside of French/European jurisdiction... and the payment methods are untraceable...
So, a complaint has almost no chance of succeeding... however, if during the course of the scam, copies of official documents were sent, it is necessary to file a preliminary report with the police or gendarmerie to record the identity thefts that may occur in the future...
Finally, a vehicle should only be purchased after seeing and testing it and after thoroughly reviewing the accompanying documents..
