I was scammed and hoping for help on possible recourse. I rented a place on Craig's List for an apartment rental for a vacation in Hong Kong. I was asked to wire the money, but per Craig's List recommendations told the guy I couldn't do that. He gave me a bank account number and information and I wired the money from my bank account to him. When we arrived, there was no apartment at the address we were given. Subsequent attempts to get a hold of him have not been answered. I do have the bank account transfer information including his bank, routing and account number and even home address. I have looked him up on-line and everything seems to match. Of course there is no phone number available. He is located in Arizona. Please help with recommendations on how to proceed. Do I call police in that town or do something else?
