Try calling the bank i guess.. Many red flags were shown before you sent the money also.

But I will give you one last thing you can try, you will read it at the end of my post.

If you want to read a few more words from me read on

My friend recently fell victim to a fraud, he sent 500 via e-transfer

And shortly after he received the transfer the fraudster stopped communicating with my friend

If it had been a civil matter I would have understood the TPS is not legally responsible to do anything, but this time the assigned officer had acknowledged it is a fraud

I thought the cops will be actively involved this time, but once again, cops are doing fabulously nothing

I am a hybrid mobile application developer

Let me assure you I am 10 times better than most people when it comes to gathering information on the Internet.

I am skilled enough to teach at universities

And I did a lot of research on the Internet, and learned, of course your bank can easily and quickly find out who took your money

Let's say I have 6000 dollars in my bank account

That doesn't mean I have 60 of beautiful 100 dollar bills stored securely in a bank location

The 6000

is simply a number stored in the database of the bank

And secondly

The crucial disadvantage you and my friend are facing at the moment, is you and he personally sent the money to the fraudsters.

Legally speaking, you and my friend were part of the "fraud process"

If it had been entirely done by the fraudster without you ( and my friend ) getting involved, then the bank could have reimbursed.

But that is not true in your case and in my friend's case. You and my friend personally sent the money to the fraudsters

And banks have different policies

Try to get the police officer to tell the bank

"This was officially a fraud and the bank must reimburse" then the bank might finally do something for you.

Instead of typing garbage you could have just told OP straight up, nothing can be done.

And how is OP commiting fraud? He did not voluntarily send the money. As a regular human being, we all see deals and jump on them. Not regarding if the circumstance is good or not, we just see how much we are saving. OP is the victim, he unknowingly sent the money thinking the other person is legit and not using the situation under his control. You are not making any sense, and for you to say that you are an intelligent person compared to others, is obscured. But anywho, I had a good laugh this morning. Cheers Mate.
