NOTE: If you experience problems with accessing these documents, please contact the Computer Crime Investigation Unit on 07 3364 4131.
Instructions
Upon completing the questionnaire you are required to email the document to
tasmania.police@police.tas.gov.au
In addition to emailing the above document it is also requested that you email proof of having lodged a dispute with the relevant internet auction provider (for example, the copy of the email received acknowledging receipt of your complaint).
When your matter is detailed to an investigating police officer, that officer will get in touch with you to make arrangements to obtain any further information or documentation required..
Other Information:
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR COMPLAINT WILL NOT BE ACTIONED UNLESS YOU PROVIDE PROOF OF HAVING LODGED A DISPUTE WITH THE RELEVANT INTERNET AUCTION PROVIDER/WEBSITE.
If you were a victim of internet auction fraud on an auction site other than EBAY (such as OZtion), the above statement is still appropriate to complete, just edit the statement to reflect the internet auction website you were using.
For evidentiary purposes it is extremely important that you keep the original emails in your email inbox until the investigation has been finalised.
If you require any assistance or you need some advice in relation to the completion of the statement or the form please contact the QPS Computer Crime Investigation Unit on 07 3364 4131.
