Mate I feel your pain 100% but I'm just telling you how it is, the cops simply don't care, the can't and won't find him and the banks wont help either.
Problem is, I bet you don't have an address, phone number or maybe even a real name so how are the cops going to help?
You wont be able to do squat about it mate, you willingly handed over the moeny. The banks or the police won't help you one bit - sorry but it's the truth. Happend to me..
Go back and read my oroginal post becuase I'd say so yes -
"Damn straight mate. Dig a hole, drop in a shipping container and contreate it in. Add and entry and air and you're set"
