Missing person: Amina Farouk, 28, in red coat
Description
I’m posting because my sister, Amina Farouk, 28, went missing yesterday around 3:30 pm in Athens. She has shoulder-length black hair, olive skin, and green eyes. She’s about 165 cm tall and was last seen wearing a red wool coat, black jeans, and brown ankle boots. She has a small star tattoo on her left wrist and a faint scar above her right eyebrow. I last saw her near Monastiraki Square, outside the metro entrance on Ermou Street, heading toward Psirri. This is terrifying—she has a heart condition and takes daily medication, so I’m really worried and just want her back safe. If you see her or have any information, please email me at [email protected] with any information.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
