Buyer wants to make a police report of an item that i sold to him?
I sold a watch to a buyer in Carousell, he checked the condition all was tested ok then he transferred me the money.
He wants to make a police report cause there’s a scratch he did not notice during the meet up. I have sent videos and photos before meeting the buyer.
I told him, i am unable to refund him due to , (the buyer) can damage the watch or modify the movement after i sold it to him and he already checked the watch and deem is in good condition before transferring me the money.
I have all the chat logs from carousell and whatsapp messages, stating that he is okay to check the watch before dealing with me.
PS. The watch i sold to him is authentic. It’s illegal to sell fake watches here in Singapore.

- Move on, there’s nothing he can do, the only thing he can do is seek help from tribunal small claim.
Sounds like a typical scam from the buyer side.
This is more of an agreement between the seller and buyer, he checked the watch or the item and deemed is in favorable condition and he transferred the fund to you.
Keep all the chat logs handy incase any IO contact you.
Most likely, the IO won’t even touch this case if the (buyer) lodge a report.
I work in the Singapore Police Force. - There’s nothing he can do to you via the police. It was an agreed upon transaction between 2 individuals (not businesses), so the buyer has no leg to stand on.
- Ignore him. He has no basis or proof to claim that the watch has been scratched by you prior to buying it. He could have caused the scratch after you handed over the watch to him, and is now trying to use this reason to pull off a scam on you.
- Nothing he can do, with what you have stated above, he can’t prove beyond reasonable doubt that you have the intention of scamming him. Source: ex lawyer
