Hello,
Need your advise what to do with an "overpayment" scam in France?
I was contacted via ProZ site but the person is not registered here.
I have his e-mail address, his bank and company details, he sent me an "official" offer with company details and "le chèque en bois".
How can the scammer be punished?
How can I trap "overpayment" scammers in the future? Are there any communities in France?
Thank you in advance for your help.
