Hi
Is there a way to get your money back. I was a victim of a fraud from a transport company :

CARGO FORWARD LIMITED
ROSE VILLA BARN
LITTLE POLGOOTH
ST AUSTELL
CORNWALL
UNITED KINGDOM
PL26 7DD
Company No. 06788772

I made money transfer like a last sucker to their bank account (Barclays) in hope that I'm dealing with true company.

Now their web page disappeared and any contact is lost.

Guy that was sealing was introducing himself as Bradley Wompach.

Did anybody had the same situation I need some urgent help. :cry:

Hi Bartk1
I'm sorry you were scammed. Please don't feel bad my friend. You are not a sucker. Many people fall for these scams not because they're suckers, it's because they are unaware. And you are not alone, lawyers, doctors and even big companies fall for such scams.
Sadly, it's nearly impossible that you will get your money back. Best option now is to stop all communication with them

Please provide all email exchanges with them (after you edit out your personal information). Also any information about them (phone numbers, emails addresses etc..)including their site and how did you contact them. This will help others not to fall for their scheme.


I have sent you a PM.

DON'T tell the scammer that you found him in this site. Just cease all communications with him and move on.

I'm wondering how you got involved with them. Did they contact you with a proposition or were you buying something that needed shipping ?

The web page can still be viewed on web cache and it may be archived.

One thing to check is whether or not the account you paid the money to has previously been reported as being associated with fraud. You can make a simple search of these forums using the box in the top right hand corner. Don't rely on the name, check on the number, as the name will sometimes be altered to hinder making searches, but the account number will always be correct.

Hi I'm afraid that is too late money where transfer and web page and e-mail are shut down.
Only think I can do now is to notify police and my bank about the scam.

This guy was advertising on a popular Dutch web page marktplaats.nl

They offer a car in decent price that was tempting, he offered that we will do transaction via third party.

This company was very professional till they didn't got payment. Payment was done on Friday and today afternoon web page was still online.

I could check my tracking no. and contact their representative.

So far there is no contact with seller and company. The worst part happened when I googled id number of his passport and I was directed to one of the pages that showed that this is a fake one.

this is a big problem for me but I want to share this and warn other people.

If anybody has any good advise what to do now it will be a grate help.

A lot of bank accounts in the UK are being used to receive stolen funds and, if they have already been reported as being used for fraud, you may have a good case to claim the money back from the bank involved. I can guide you through the process.

If you pm me the details I can check for you.
