Catch scammer

I just got scammed by someone who claimed to be from UK, he told me that he wanted me to send 920us$ for 3 iphones, but for safety i could change the recipients name for someone i knew, i did that and at the day after the transfer was picked up, he sent me to this fake tracking page, http://www.parceldespatcltd.eu.pn/
If he wouldn't do that i'd probably get my money back, because this happened about 4 days ago, western union now told me that it will be very dificult to get my money back because all the scammer wanted was to get more time, just yesterday i found out that the page with my tracking number was fake.. today i sent the mail to western union and i don't know how much time would it take to get a solution since when the more time it passes since the money was picked up, the less chances i have to get my money back, 4 days already passed, and the thing is that the scammer sent me another mail asking for more money:

Hello,Sir how are you?

We got a message this morning that one of our buyer has ran away with our money(3,000USD) after we deliver products to him.

We have been searching and looking for this stupid Man but he is no were to be found till now.

So for this reason,the Management is asking you to pay just 50%($1,125USD) out of the extra phones and after you get your products you will pay us the balance amount.

My Boss is out of the country for now,to clear up some of our new arrivals and he has ordered the shipping company to stop the shipment of your products in BOLIVIA until you pay 50%($1,125USD) of the extra phones before the shipment can proceed.

So you have to pay the 50%($1,125USD) to him in the country where he is so after he confirm the 50% payment,he will other the shipping company to proceed with the shipment.

i strictly apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused you.

I expect your reply back soon so that i can give you the new names and address where you will make the 50%($1,125USD) payment to by western union.

Regards...

RECEIVERS NAMES : Jonathan Thomas

RECEIVERS COUNTRY : Nigeria

RECEIVERS ADDRESS : 12 computer villiage

At Western Union they told me that they falsify IDs so the can get the transfers... So this "Jonathan Thomas" from Nigeria now (The first transfer i made was sent to UK) might be a falsified ID too, and i have a question, giving this kind of information to the police or someone, isn't it able to catch a scammer? And can someone from another country like UK receive money in Nigeria, if the money was not sent to his country?

I am actually from Paraguay so 920us$ is what someone with a job would in about 2 months, and i don't even have a job.. fuck.. i just hope i get my money back..

Welcome Scamwarners and I am sorry to hear that you lost money to these criminals. If the original payment has been picked up then your money is gone with no chance for recovery.

The email that you posted is another attempt to steal more money from you and it is all lies.

My advice is to stop all contact with these criminals.


The web site is in the process of being reported.

I am sorry you got scammed Victim 33.

Even though the amount which was taken from you was significant to you, it does not typically rise to the level of importance in the international law enforcement community.

You would have to interest someone in your country in the case and they would have to interest someone in the country the scammer is from. You would also need the actual name of the scammer and his location as well a proof that he picked up the funds.

Sadly, that is all unlikely to happen and scammers count on those facts to continue to steal from hones people.

As much as we want to get the scammer arrested, it is just a very, very, very rare event. You are best to either help us by posting up scam email messages and email accounts, or move forward with your life. The money is gone and most likely spent already.
