I actually fell for this and lost 3500.00 dollars. I have filed with the fbi and was wondering what else i needed to do in order to keep others from having this same problem. They claim to be a third party shipping company and they look real. The guy also told me he was in the military.

I'm sorry to her you've bee scammed. As The Enchantress said, can you please quote further details, including the name the scammer used. It will be false, but will appear on Google searches to warn possible future victims.
You were trying to buy a car, and were sent a fake check with instructions to send some of it via Western Union to the shipping company? The money's lost I'm afraid, and I doubt that the FBI will be able to do anything. The scammers are unlikely to be in the USA.
I've reported http://www.extra-warehouse.com to http://www.aa419.org for them to try and close. They already know about the other site (and a few other variants).
You need to watch out for the recovery scam now. The scammer may contact you claiming to be from the FBI, saying he can get your money back for a fee.

They are at it again....
Extra-Delivery (PVT) Ltd. Formerly called Extra-Warehouse, Extra-Lines, etc.

They are currently advertising on www.cycleclassifieds.com, www.cycletrader.com, www.motorcycle.com/classifieds, www.cycletrades.com, www.motorcyclescan.com (and whatever other website they can find) base location of Eatontown, NJ; London, UK, Florida, and California for the 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000 (this is what I was looking for) listed on March 10, 2009 is a fraud, money scam. They use a fake shipping website (www.extra-delivery.com) to get your information and want you to wire cash. I was very skeptical about sending money to a shipping company that didn't have any contact information on their website. I emailed Ryan Barnes (aka Richard Duston aka Rayan Guzman) and he told me that they were having website trouble but they emailed him (not me since I'm the sender). I told him that I emailed them too but they didn't reply back to me. As soon as I told him that I think it was a scam, the website was temporarily disabled. He seemed very nice but very persistent. He has a great storyline about his wife being in NJ and he traveling on business in London. He has other advertisings also under the email address [email protected] (Ryan Barnes or Richard Duston) out of UK. I looked up the address where the bike was suppose to be in NJ and that's a doctor's office complex with a liquor store beside it. I looked up the address to recipient I was suppose to Western Union the funds to and that was a clothing store. Please catch this person(s) doing this....they are making a fortune, at least from the online fraud reports I've read. I wonder how many people haven't said anything and just counted it as a lost. They are supposedly on Ebay and Craigslist also. These sites need to monitor more closely about the false advertisings made.

BeWare. Do not trust all internet purchases where they insist you send cash.

When you will go at western union to complete the payment you must have $1800 cash money and around $100 the western union fees to send the money ... tell to the agent from western union that you want to send $1800 to this name and address:

First name: Richard
Last name: Duston
Address: 11 Wigmore Street
City: London
Zip: W1U 1PE
Country: United Kingdom

The agent will know what to do and will give you an receipt with the MTCN ( Money Transfer Control Number ) ... let me know after the payment is deposited ... you will receive the bike in 2-3 days but i will tell you exactly after the shipping is started .

Waiting ...
