Reporting a Scammer
I was hoping for a bit of advice on how to handle a transaction gone bad. I recently got an email from a marketer wanting to sell some of his sites. I decided to go for one, and after emailing back and forth agreed to wire the money to his bank(ya, I know-but I'd been on his list awhile, and honestly thought he was a good guy).
There was a day or two of emails about various glitches, then finally I stopped getting a response from him. I emailed the domain registrar about the supposed name transfer, and found that it wasn't even pending.
I waited two weeks, and sent the information I have to my state AG office. It's now a month since the initial transaction, and I'm still waiting for the AG, but I was wondering if there was another route I should take? His state AG? His local police?
I've been lucky during my time online, and I've already written off the money-but I would like to explore any options I can.
Thanks,
Kevin
