The Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office has launched a probe into fraud allegations linked to the online toy store gebe.com.pl, urging affected customers to report to police.
Prosecutor’s Investigation into Fraud Allegations
The Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office, supervising case number 3041‑2.Ds.180.2025, is probing alleged fraud conducted through the online store gebe.com.pl, operated by GeBe sp. z o.o. The proceeding is classified as a “w sprawie,” meaning investigators are collecting evidence concerning suspected criminal acts linked to the store’s activities.
Prosecutor Piotr Antoni Skiba’s Statement and Plea to Victims
According to the prosecutor’s press release, Piotr Antoni Skiba says the office is overseeing proceedings on alleged fraud via the e‑shop. The release does not yet disclose the number of victims or detailed mechanisms of wrongdoing, but it unambiguously highlights repeated use of the online store as a tool for crime.
Procedure for Consumers to Report and Submit Evidence
Victims are urged to visit the nearest police station and give an oral statement about suspected wrongdoing. The statement should be accompanied by copies of transaction documents from gebe.com.pl—including order printouts, correspondence with the shop, and transfer confirmations. Those reports must then be forwarded to the Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office under case number 3041‑2.Ds.180.2025 so that all related matters can be consolidated and the full extent of potential damage assessed.
Company Profile and Product Offering
GeBe sp. z o.o. was registered on 29 November 2023 in the National Court Register as a limited‑liability company based in Katowice, 40/2A Warsaw Street. Its share capital is 5 000 zł and the sole shareholder and managing director is Patryk Dawid Śledź. The company lists gebe.com.pl as its official website. The store advertises a wide range of toys, model kits, remote‑control vehicles, child accessories, small household appliances and kitchen gadgets, touting attractive prices and secure payment promises. Contact details include an e‑mail address, phone number and an on‑site contact form. A return policy is described on the site, offering the statutory 14‑day cancellation period and an additional 30‑day window, after which refunds are issued as vouchers.
Customer Complaints, Online Reviews, and Emerging Evidence
Since late 2023, platforms such as Konsumersi.pl have recorded numerous complaints alleging delayed or non‑delivered orders, failure to refund payments, and ineffective communication. One user reported ordering a saturator in July 2025, paying via Blik, yet never received the product or refund despite the shop claiming to be processing it. Another customer detailed a 600‑zł LEGO set that was never shipped and could not be reached by email or phone. Additional reports narrate contract rescissions, returned goods, and missing refunds. Negative feedback also appears on other sites: a Warsaw resident warns consumers on MisterWhat, and the business database Aleo.com shows a low overall rating for the company.
Regulatory Warnings and the Significance of the Investigation
Financial supervisory bodies have long urged shoppers to verify online retailers before paying. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority stresses the importance of checking a shop’s public records, company history, and customer feedback, especially when pre‑paying to unknown entities. The gebe.com.pl case demonstrates that even formally registered companies can pose transaction risks, underscoring how real‑world customer experiences and law‑enforcement actions ultimately safeguard consumer safety.
