How does the Report Auction Fraud Service work?

Who can use the Report Auction Fraud Service?

What information is stored in the Report Auction Fraud database?

The database stores the details of people who have committed auction fraud. The details we store are names used for the Western Union / Moneygram withdrawal, address, postcode, email addresses, telephone number, mobile telephone number, fax number, the account number any money has been paid into (including sort code), credit/debit card number, account numbers from stolen cheques. We need to store these details to help the police should they choose to investigate.

What information do you hold about me in the Fraud database?

If you haven`t committed an auction fraud, then we will have no details about you in our fraud database. You can request a copy of the details we hold about you in any of our databases. To do this please send a cheque made payable to Early Warning (UK) Ltd. for £10.00 with a letter requesting a copy of your details. Please include an original utility bill (not a photocopy), which we will return to prove your identity. We will respond to your request within 28 days.
