How To Report Fraud

——————————————————–
IMPORTANT NOTICE
——————————————————–

After 2 years Bustathief.com is closing it’s doors to it’s reporting/publishing fraud sections. Furthermore, all the posts, with their respective comments, that were submitted by our users will be permanently deleted. Along with hundreds of reports that we received on a monthly basis, we received a similar number of physical and verbal threats, lawsuits and harassment per email. Such were the days at bustathief.com. Filled with hate-love. As a free website/service we haven’t received any payment for all the work we have done, except for the low revenue generated by the adsense program. At this point it would also be worthy to mention that in all the two years we haven’t received ONE single donation. This leads us to believe that our work, our free services, all the hate we absorbed in the name of our users, verbally, physically, legally and via email, was not appreciated. We invested a lot of time, energy and money into our work, but the compensation we received is simply not worth the hassle.

Another reason for closing the doors is that we personally can not verify the validity of all our users reports. The statistics of our verified reports has shown us that 85% – 90% of all the reports are valid, the rest is not and the sole reason a user has posted such a report was/is to harm the name of the company or individual. Albeit a small number, it’s still unfair to harm the names of those few righteous companies/individuals in exchange to exposing fraudulent activities of the majority. And as mentioned, we don’t have the resources to personally verify many of the reports whether right or wrong.

Please note that most likely many companies/individuals that were exposed on our website will refer to what I just said now and defend themselves as being one of those companies/individuals that were unjustly harmed. Do not blatantly believe them, as I said 85% – 90% of reports are CORRECT.

That being said, Bustathief.com is not going offline. All the articles that are not of personal nature and aimed towards a particular individual or company will stay online. These articles help and prevent you from entering an engagement that will financially harm you. And if already done, there are articles aimed towards the steps that help you get your money back. Please browse our categories for that.

For all those who want to report your particular cases, or want to re-post the reports that were previously on bustathief.com and continue your “fights”, you may do so on other similar websites here and here.

Have you been scammed or fallen prey to a fraud and wondering what you can do about it and where to report your case? If you are a victim of unscrupulous scammers you may find below information to be of precious help. But first and foremost it needs to be pointed out that chances you will get your money back are not high. Many of these thieves are highly skilled and organized professionals using false identities and money transfer techniques that are basically not traceable.

You may email/call (depending on the medium you used to communicate before) the con artist yourself, but remain calm and professional. Say you will notify government officials and law enforcement and precisely name where and how you are going to report them if they don’t return stolen funds as soon as possible. Don’t expect too much, but there have been some rather rare cases where the con artist(s), mostly unexperienced, have put their tail between legs and returned the stolen money, out of fear. Before you proceed with looking for a resource from the list most suitable for you, please read the topic scamming the scammed.

It is only by the accumulated response of angry victims that authorities will have the incentive to devote resources, such as forensic accountants to trace the money, and other costly manpower, to a particular operation. Don’t forget that having your name recorded increases the chance of seeing some monetary recovery down the road, so be sure to report your case where ever you can. To ensure that your report is as effective as possible you should do a bit of investigative work on the perpetrator before notifying anyone.
