Hi Jade,

What actions have you taken via your bank?

Thankfully I saw this coming with an offer that was too good to be true, so have not parted with any cash.

I have spoken with the banks implicated and they advised that if I had parted with funds under such an internet scam / activity that my Bank would make a full refund (Lloyds).

I have been in contact with Action Fraud to raise awareness and also sent e-mail to David Cameron and Vince Cable to take immediate action and request review of these 2 bank accounts identified.

Really sorry to hear that you have become a victim of these people.

Regards
Carl

You'd think, but unfortunately as soon as you tell the scammers the money has been transferred, the set in motion transferring the money out of the account and withdrawing it. If it so happened someone else had reported the account in between you paying and the scammers taking the money out (under 2 hours probably so extremely unlikely) there'd be a slim chance of possibly getting some of it back, but that's very very very slim. There is pretty much nothing you can do except report it to the relevant people and bug the bank.

Sorry I don't recall if you posted up details of the bank account you'd paid the money in to, or gave them to Tools ? If not can you do so.
