Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

Hi I got scammed out of thousands of dollars while selling a football via craigslist. I have an address where the check was sent from, from a "Dennis Loyal" on 657 Broadway, Ny, Ny and his email is [email protected]. I can't figure out what his IP address is, does anyone have a good way of tracking this person or figuring out how I can get my money back?

Thanks!

Hi etolman, if you were sent a cheque that later proved to be fake, it is highly likely that it was sent from person who thinks they are working from home as a payments/accounts admin person, for the actual scammer.


Please read here viewforum.php?f=34 for how these parts of the scam work.

If Western Union was involved in any way, as in an overpayment, or sending "shipping" charges, then read here

It is unlikely you will have any chance of recovering your money sorry.
