If you have been scammed their is nothing that you will be able to do but report it to the authorities in your area. What you probably did was sent money to another country by western union or money gram or what ever, in return for a loan. Forget it, you have been scammed because you will never ever get your money back nor will you get the loan that you were probably promised.
Sorry :(

Did you get an email saying if you send money they will give you money in return or something like that?
Report it to Rip Of Report and to the BBB if you can. I would also report it to the cops depending on the scam you were in. Going to the media could help maybe!!
If you were looking to make money and got scammed...been there done that.

Consider that money GONE. In the future, only pay with a credit card when making international purchases. Even then the credit card company will have a hard time disputing the charge. US Consumer Protection Laws do not cross international borders. Your best bet is to only do business with international merchants through EBay. That is your best bet that you will get your money back.

I am sorry to hear that someone scammed you. Hopefully it was not for a lot of money. You just have to be very, very careful when financially dealing with people.

Send another telegram saying you are on your way to avenge your honor. The only way they can save themselves from imminent death is to send 5x the amount of money you sent them. Otherwise their whole family will be slaughtered.
