Hi all,

I have received the e-mail above as well and unfortunately have already sent in my money wire. I was wondering if anyone else has gone this far and what actions I could take to get my money back?

Thank you.

^^ Its unlikely that you will get your money back.

How long ago did you send it? Was it bank transfer, Western Union or Moneygram?

Hey, I did wired the money too! I called my bank and they said the money is gone. it seems like impossible to get money back! I am thinking of other ways. Contact me is you are also a victim!

^^Sorry to hear you lost money.

If anyone tells you that they can recover your money it is a scam. The scammer will have you pay advance fees for documents, lawyers, customs and etc. He will have you pay these fees via Western Union, Moneygram or Bank Transfer.

Is there any way I can try to get me money back?

Chances of getting your back is very very low. You will need to report it to your Banks Fraud Dept. Tell them you sent money to a fraudulent account.

Please post the email they sent you with the information about what bank account to pay into. Remove any of your personal information. Also please post the email headers.

By posting the receivers bank account information you may help save a future victim.

Also what Country are you in. You may have a source there to report it.
