    What can u do if someone rips you off by bankwire

    This has happened and i'm not sure what can be done...

    Bought something off of ebay. I wired him the money and Seller delivered no problem.. gave him good feedback and he reciped.

    Next he said i could have more if i bought from him directly, so wired him the money which he received. Since then it seems his granny has died and he's had to go take care off all this. I mean it could all be true but really i don't believe him. Now he has stopped responding to mails altogether.

    His last email more or less just said i had to trust him...he sent me a bunch of info about him and his company as if to convince me he's legit and will take care of it when he returns. He said his company is " registered with the Sec of State of California and with the US Dept of Treasury as an S corporation"

    He also sent me his IRS ID . How can i check this stuff out and do you think that really proves anything?

    Is it possible to ever reclaim a bank wire once it's been sent?

    The amount of money is not huge $1700 but still it's a bitch to loose it if anything can be done about this.

    Any one have experience with this kind of stuff?...i mean he may well be telling the truth so i don't want to be too impatient. But since he has stopped replying to my emails my concern is growing. It's been a good few weeks now since i wired him.


    Ok thanks for any help.

        Talk to your bank ASAP, I remember my bank's employee telling me that they can stop the transaction 3 days afetr the money have been wired, but you have to check with your bank!!!

        Although judging by your post i't's been more than 3 days, I think it's still nopt a bad idea to ask your bank for an advice.

            if that guy has a verified Ebay and paypal account, that means that paypal and ebay could charge his credit card. Through your bank you have to prove that he did not deliver and they could possibly charge his credit card through paypal

            it's gonna be an uphill struggle though
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                  Get in touch the California State attorney general. http://caag.state.ca.us/ If he's based out of California, they may be able to help you out, espeically if he's done it before.

                      thanks for the replies

                      thanks for the replies everyone

                      do you think the fact that he gave me his IRS id means he could be legit?

                      and how do i check this IRS id out? it could be a false number, but still would be good to check him out.

                        the guy who ripped me off gave me all kinds of his personal info....
                        i would go a head with all nessasary stpes you need to take to get your money back.. get things going... if everything does work out in your favor then you can always stop the process you started.....

                        good luck...
