Thanks for your comment. I have been contacted by many foreign businessmen with scamstories.Though I want to help butI , as a lawyer , feel it so hard tohelp them only by tel. phone, sending lawyer letter etc. and you do not even have such information to start with. The only way out is to seek for local police's involvement as they have power to investigate the scammers bank information etc. after the case has been accepted as a criminal crime case.
Quoting from [ChinaLawyer]:
There is, in fact something you can do. Represent the victim of the scam at the relative police station and report the scam. Also, there must be ways to recover the money legally, I would imagine. I have just been defrauded by James Chen of Voit International, Shenzhen. I have all the details necessary to give. I have left you a message on Trademanager about it.
