I've been scammed someone help pls!!!!!!!

Hi all i am new to this website but i hope i get some help.
It all started with craigslist. I heard it from a friend of mine and i checked it out and i saw a deal on iphone which was good and i emailed the seller. He replied and we had a good about an hour email exchange and we agreed to a deal and he asked me to pay first and sent me his bank acc dets. i thought this guy is genuine and paid him the amount he asked (£720) and so he told me he will check his bank and as soon as the money drops he will send me the items. Then the next day when i asked him he said he hasn't got the money yet and asked me to send it and i asked him to confirm his bank acc dets and he thn sent me a completely new acc dets with his name. Till now he is denying it and its been three days already. I got the whole acc dets thats under his name and i called police/banks/action fraud noone can help and all they can say is wait. What am i supposed to do? How can i get my money back? I got proof of everything. If it was up to me i can use lies and stuffs and get hold of this guy in person and get the money off him. But then i will be the criminal so can someone please help me?

lol noone can help here???

I'm sorry that nobody has responded daju. It looks like you have taken appropriate actions at this point. Unfortunately, while at least there is a chance of getting money back with a bank transfer, the odds still aren't very high. I can only say that those who have gotten their money back have usually been the "squeaky wheels."

As for whether there is anyone else you can contact in your situation, I will defer to those on our support team who are in UK, as I am US based myself.

You've covered all the bases with the police, action fraud and the bank - there is no one else to contact.

Unfortunately, as Dotti says, your chances of getting your money back are remote. Bank transfers in the UK are irreversible as you are deemed to have willingly transferred the money. It is also highly likely that the bank account belongs to a mule and not the actual scammer, who is likely abroad.

For the amount involved, the police re unlikely to do much more than give you a crime number and add it to their stats.

If you have an address then you could try small claims - but it is likely that any address you have been given is fake and the bank won't give you any details of the account holder.
