What can u do if someone rips you off by bankwire - GoFuckYourself.com

longdongsilver · 03-09-2005, 10:58 AM

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.

Try geting ahold of your bank and see what they can do..complain to Ebay...Good luck ...1700 is nothing to sneeze at

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

some banks offer stop payments on wires too, not all, and within a certain limit, call your bank asap report fraud

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.

act fast......

2 years ago i was ripped off for over 7500 via bank transfer, i had the state police, fbi, and a bunch of other people involved,
after a year of hearing nothing i get a call from the police saying that the amount of money stolen wasn't enough for them to pursue the scammer between the states....

i still cant beleive im just ass out the money..... im still working on the case trying to get somewhere onit....

longdongsilver · 03-09-2005, 01:31 PM

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.
