Hello,

Dears,

I have to say that I have been attacked by a scam that he stoled from me a sum of 137 US $, so just I'm asking if there is anyway to re-get the money :cry: :roll:

Please, your fast reply and your help are very appreciated.

Regards

I'm sorry you were scammed. :( It is hard to say much about your specific situation without knowing the full details of the scam, but I'm afraid that there is virtually zero chance of ever getting your money back, unless you used a credit card. In that case you could file a dispute with your credit card company. If you sent money by Western Union or Moneygram it's lost forever.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.. actually i think that yes i lost my money, but i learned that i should ensure that i'm executing the transfer for the right person before i do that.
Thankfully, the amount of money is not huge.. :)

Best Regards.

Would it be possible for you to post the details of the scam and the scammer? Doing so means that others might not fall for his scams in the future.

I will also point out that there is no correct person to send your money to. If you have been scammed out of this payment, then all of it will be a scam, not just the most recent person you've been speaking to.

Do not send any more money until you've posted here or private messaged one of our staff members.
