Legal Help - Need to Find This Guy and Get My Money Back

5 replies
Does anyone know of a lawyer who can assist with internet transactions?

I got scammed (won't say who) and need some legal help.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

    If you've heard a decent response on this please post as it would be useful information for many of us to have. Generally the internet is impossible to police though so the chances of you seeing your money again are minimal. I assume you have tried your usual bank based techniques.

    You made a purchase and the product wasn't delivered? or...

    You purchased a product and it wasn't what you had expected?

    Have you tried contacting the seller first?

      I purchased a service and they never delivered.

      I've contacted the seller for the past two months, and finally did a whois lookup...

      ...which gave me a name and address.

      I sent a final email saying legal action was about to be taken (with formal notice mailed to the physical address)...

      ... and FINALLY received an email. The guy basically said "It's not me... I don't own the company... the owner disappeared... I never check this email address to make sure there aren't legal threats... I've moved to Japan... blah, blah, blah...

      These guys are SCAMS... and now we're out quite a bit of money.

      So any advice would be great!

      eg how to find the owner
      what to do
      our chances of winning

      Thanks,

      Coz

        How did you pay for the service? If you paid by credit card, you could contact your credit card company about doing a chargeback if you have been unable to get a refund from the seller.
