Most common questions used to investigate
Are you planning on defaming the person in question in your post?
Are you going to display the bogus buyer’s full name?
Is your intention for posting the photo to humiliate them?
Have you tried reporting the bogus buyer to the authority?
Have you kept all the transaction documents proving your interaction with the bogs buyer?
Have you tried seeking advice from an expert?
Common conclusions
Defaming someone is a serious offense, especially if you have stated malicious words and have done an intentional act of humiliating the person in public. The person may decide to press charges against you.
Posting a photo online and naming them as a “Bogus Buyer” with their full name attached is grounds for a libel lawsuit. It is libelous if you have publicly ridiculed them and their identity is identifiable.
If your intention for posting the photo is not for a good cause, you should refrain from posting bogus buyers online as you may face charges.
Instead of posting, report your case to the authorities and let them handle the problem.
Make sure you have enough evidence showing the other party is guilty of committing a fraudulent act. This will help you impose a penalty against that person.
The safest way to save yourself from legal trouble is to seek an expert’s advice.
Consider consulting an expert in order to prevent further damage. Always remembers to think before you click. If your post is driven by anger and dismay, step back and avoid social media for a while.
