First step after a suspected fraud

It separates a person who thinks they were targeted from a person facing an allegation. Bank, card, and crypto do not collapse into one sentence. It does not say an offence is complete.

  • No new payment or negotiation with the suspected person.
  • Evidence is not deleted or altered.
  • Do not trust a pitch that your money will certainly be returned.
  • Write to a bank or a platform only through its own channel.
  • A password or an approval code is not typed here. A taken-over session is closed.
  • An identity number, IBAN, phone, wallet, or message text is not uploaded to an open form.
  • The result is not a legal opinion and not a finding of an offence.

Questions

Was money sent?
Which rail, if money moved?
Can you still open the account?
Was identity or account information shared?
Is there a threat or blackmail?
Is the event still going on?
Which side are you on?
Has an official summons or served paper arrived?

Priority: separate the paper and the record first

This is not a decision that an offence was committed.

  1. Do not send a new payment to the suspected person, and do not negotiate.
  2. Do not delete or alter the record you already have. Do not type its value into this form.
  3. A criminal notice and a civil or enforcement route for the money are not the same petition.

Official doors

  • JandarmaThe notice door for an area the gendarmerie covers. It does not replace every district.
  • UYAP VatandaşEnquiry for a file that is already open. It is not, by itself, the recording of a new complaint.
  • e-DevletThe national door. Which service is open is read from the screen.
  • USOMA notice of harmful internet activity. It is not a prosecutor’s decision or a refund.
  • BTKThe electronic-communications regulator. It does not replace the criminal authority.
  • KVKKThe personal-data authority. It is not the desk for a fraud complaint.
  • SPKThe capital-markets door, including the regulation of crypto-asset service providers. It is not the till that reverses a transfer.
  • TCMBThe central bank. It is not a desk that claws a transfer back for a victim.
  • MASAKThe financial-crimes investigation board. It is not the victim’s criminal-complaint door.

Questions

Can the tool say an offence is complete?

No. It suggests a priority and a door. It does not characterise the file.

If an allegation was made about me, do I get the victim list?

No. The suspect or accused path separates negotiation with the complainant and a deleted chat.
