While browsing through sahibinden.com and dolap websites to look for a second-hand phone, I came across a suitable link and decided to make the purchase through Param Güvende. However, the account holder asked for an IBAN and provided me with an IBAN number. It wasn't until later, after making two transfers to the given IBAN, that I realized I had been scammed. Although I had suspicions about the individual, when I tried to search while on the link, I discovered that I could access the real site without noticing. Thinking everything seemed fine, I proceeded with the transfer, only to realize it was a mistake after the payment was made. I went to the police station to file a complaint with the receipts in hand, but they directed me straight to the cybercrime department without addressing my case. I am curious if any results can be obtained from such cases as I have made transfers to two different individuals with their real names and IBANs. I am also providing the links of the websites for your review to see if these sites are commonly used for imitation. Please advise me on what to do, as these individuals are likely to continue scamming others since they have multiple bank accounts under different names, which I suspect is a case of organized fraud.
