Criminal defense attorney, I bought a ticket through a secondhand trading app, but I think I have been scammed.

Hello. This is a criminal defense attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

If you have suffered damage from a secondhand transaction scam, the most reliable step is to first visit the police station with jurisdiction and file a report.

When filing a report, you should prepare materials that can prove the fraud damage, such as your identification, chat records, and deposit history.

You can write a petition at the civil affairs office of the police station and submit it according to the guidance.

In addition, you can also carry out the reporting procedure through the platform where the transaction took place.

For example, in the case of Junggonara, the following procedure applies.

▶ Submit a "dispute/complaint handling request" within the platform

▶ The person in charge verifies the facts

▶ The result is notified within up to 7 business days

If this process is linked with an investigative agency, the necessary materials may be forwarded to the police station, but a report through an online platform alone does not immediately result in criminal punishment.

Ultimately, the buyer must submit the facts and evidence of the damage to the police.

It is safest to confirm guidance on the exact procedure and required documents through a consultation with a criminal defense attorney.
