Hi all.

Well, to start this saying im happy is an understatement. After falling for a scam I looked up anything I could do to get my money back and report this so no one else gets scammed.

The main thing I did was look the bank on the internet to get the address I sent the money to. After getting the address and phone numbers I new there was no way I will be able to talk to some one there in English but noticed a fax number.

I then decided to send a fax telling the bank there was some one using there bank for internet fraud. I sent a copy of the invoice with the my account name on it to show were the money came from, and to show the account I sent it to. Also a copy of the recipt from the bank to show I sent it, then with a letter saying how they was using the account to frude on the internet.

Now I don’t know if I was lucky from this point but one way or the other I went to the bank today and found the payment back in my **** with it saying account adjustment less the sending costs.
After a lot of YES, YES, YES, YES (around 10min or so). I realized that all bank must have to act on fraud allegations if they are reported in there banks. They then must have a responsibility if they knowingly know that a account in there bank if using for fraud and have to act on it.

All I can say I may be lucky on this account and that this may not work for anyone, but to any one that has been scammed. What’s the harm in trying?

All the luck

Hollyyyyy Crapp, mann . In this case, i would hire a hit man.. Just kidding, but i would seriously consider hiring a Private Investigator or take the matter into my own hand by reporting to Singaporean Police (they're very harsh at these stuff, they will take his testicles and make meat ball sub).

Business people have one objective mind, to buy low and sell high.
Scammers like these low-lives, their objective is scam high and f the law.

Copy these words down brother, DON"T GIVE UP THE FIGHT.
You worked hard for this 100K, you need to fight it to get it back.

Go see the nearest embassy and report this crime, ascertain all the resources you can get from the consulate. Also, get the police chief's or local inspector's contact info, this will be a tremendous help.

They're fluent in English down there, so you shouldn't have any communication obstacle ahead.

Good luck, may god be with you.

Keep us updated!!!!

I don't know why I didn't think of that. I too, have been scammed, and it's at least worth the effort to try!

Replying to [troggers]: Glad to hear you got your money back. My rule is there no easy money earning, If it sounds to good to be true it more likely not.
