It's mind blowing that the police responded to your complaint. May we ask how you managed this?

- aetherspawn 4y agoBecause I lodged it as site theft (due to them sending a courier to pick it up), and skipped the cyber division. When I lodged the report (in person at the police station), I was able to find the courier job on Airtasker and provide the police with the phone number of an exec at Airtasker that I reached out to, and with the job ID and the IP address of the organiser who was using card fraud (from Stripe). They took the case straight away because there was a strong witness (the courier) and a strong lead on the organiser due to building IP trace from the telco (a young kid living in their parents basement). It took them only about 2 weeks to get a permit to raid. The IP trace was essential because they had the courier deliver it to a fake address in a nearby suburb, where they impersonated the householder.
