Do people who are victims of online fraud and report it ever get their money back?

Answer 1

I got my money back, but I knew what to look for, since I used to work at a bank.

I did an auction on the Goodguys website. A few weeks later, a small charge, under $1.00, was put through on my debit card from a similarly named company whom I won the auction through. I immediately canceled my debit card, got a refund from my bank and got a new card.

Here's the scam: You purchase something online. A week later, a small charge will be deducted from your account. The name of the company will be very similar. A week after that, a larger charge will be deducted. And so on until your account is drained. The person this happened to had over $4,000 charged to his checking account from various Mint companies.

For the people who think they win the lottery and send the check in to claim their funds, they are out of luck.

Answer 2

If the person defrauding you used a credit or debit card backed by Visa or most other companies you should get it back immediately upon investigation of the fraud. It's your credit that can be hard to recoup, but even then a letter showing proof could assist with that too.

Yes, they do. I know this from personal experience. Someone obtained details of my debit (visa) card and used these details to buy goods on line. I gave details to my bank (and also reported the matter to the police) who reimbused me fully very speedily.
