Hi,

I had a similar experiance. I also went to police etc but it made no difference.

Apparently even the police can not get the money back, even if you have an address, and bank details for them. The Local police even told me that the bank would not even confirm details with them unless they can prove a fraud has been commited. which was what they where trying to do.

Basically the bank says go to the police and the police say go to the bank but they dont work together to sort thing out.

and thats what they call British Justice

I gave up, I decided it would cost more in time and effort than it was worth.

Good Luck

I think if enough people complain about someone, something gets done.....But i think fighting alone is useless

Yea you would think with todays cameras and tracking abilites of bank cards etc they would be able to catch these fraudsters but my old theory will always stand.............authorities dont care if its your money they only care if its thier money.....eg: if you have a movie pirate investigation and a con-artist investigation........they will go after the movie pirate first because business`s are losing money where as the con-artist is only taking someones personal savings..............its a hard reality that we All have to face;\
