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.
