Recently I have been frauded out of $750 plus the $14.16 to wire the money totaling an amount of $764.16 to receive a "Loan" from a place called "FirstLine Financial Services" when it came time for them to deposit the $5000 they never did, upon calling them I got one excuse after another and they told me that I had the option to send another $750 to secure the loan or to get a refund and I told them that I wanted a refund, I gave these people my bank account info, but thank God I found out what they were doing and they did not get to my account, but now I am out $750 that was to be used to fly my step-daughter, who is only 6, home from Guam. Is there any justice or leagel system that can help us people that get scammed so that we are not out this money? Do they have a strong enough legal system to catch these people?

You should certainly report them (see link below), but I'm afraid you're out the $750. Are you sure they can't access your bank account? Did you freeze the account after you gave them your banking information? If not, you should do so immediately.

I think they do catch some of the people. I got scammed out of $250 which isn't as bad as you. The FBI was involved, but they never caught anyone and I never got my money back.
