[QUOTE="Jack Buster, post: 7797821, member: 127458"] Just to reassure victims that it is more than possible to get your money back after a scam such as this. It's a slow process, takes months and often over a year, but it most definitely can be done because that's exactly what I've been doing for the past 6+ years. My clients have included farmers who have fallen victim to other scams such as 'telephone spoofing' which is when a telephone call is made that appears to come from the recipient's bank's fraud department. Then there are 'investment scams', 'impersonation scams', 'CEO scams', 'conveyancing scams', 'romance scams' and of course 'purchase scams' (the topic of this thread). But they're all the same, effectively - most of these involve a bank transfer (or cluster of transfers) authorised by the victim. The methodology may vary but the execution is the same: Money leaves your account as instructed by you, and lands in the account of a thief. I have featured in numerous TV and radio programmes (Money Box, You&Yours, FileOn4, Rip-Off Britain, the Tonight Show etc) as well as many newspaper features since 2015. As far as I know I am still the only person or company that specialises in the reimbursement of funds lost to vehicle-related online scams. It's complicated and slow, and never a matter of just 'filling in a form'. Every case is different and challenging in its own way.. It's easier to get large reimbursements than it is for smaller ones. This is why I often don't take on the smaller cases. There is a perfectly logical reason for that: small transactions (by which I mean £5,000 or less) are increasingly difficult to convince independent arbitration services as being unusual or suspicious, whereas complaints based on larger transactions are more likely to be upheld. Another detail is that losses incurred from business accounts are - rightly or wrongly - more difficult to win back than losses from personal accounts. If you would like free advice or an assessment, email me: [email]buster.jack@live.com[/email] I work on a no-win/no-fee basis, in effect pro-bono - sometimes known as a Conditional Fee Arrangement. This means there is no risk of additional losses. Since mid 2015 I have won c. 94% of all the cases I have taken on - and there have been hundreds. In 2020, the figure for that calendar year was 100%, the second time that has happened. [/QUOTE]
