Hi Ben,

Welcome to Scamwarners

Sorry to hear you have lost money.

Unfortunately there is no chance of you being able to recover any money you have lost and those who say they can will be trying to scam you for more money so the first thing is "DO NOT send money to anybody"

There is a good chance the same scammers will attempt a recovery scam, we have a section on that here that you should take a look at.

The next thing we need to know is who scammed you, if you could start with some email addresses of those who contacted you and if possible also any of the early emails from them, phone numbers are also good and if you know how the header from their emails.

The more you can find, the better chance we have of being able to give you relevant information and the better chance there is of being able to prevent another person from being scammed
