Kuwait: How to Report Online Shopping Fraud
Fake seller, an order that never arrived, a refund that was refused, or a call from a fake “customer care” number? Here is how to report it to the shopping platforms people use in Kuwait, and where to go if the platform won’t help.
Do this first
- Never call a “customer care” number from Google, social media or a message. Many shopping platforms have no phone line at all, and those numbers belong to scammers.
- Report the problem inside the official app or website of the platform you used (details below).
- If you paid by card, bank transfer or a payment app, call your bank’s fraud line straight away: see bank fraud lines in Kuwait.
- Report the crime to the police: see who handles cybercrime in Kuwait.
