somebody please help me, Henry Morgan & Jacko Lover stole $1500 from me on may 8th. The payment was made to Maria Crawsford leaving in Canada.I'm loosing my mind, I borrowed the money assuming that I was going to get $5000 the next day. Instead, they called me again the next day to make an additional payment of $400, I got suspicious and I did not have anymore money, so I asked for a refund. Henry told me that I could not get the refund not until Jun 4th, I said O.K just fax me a proof that I will receive my money on that date, he said he was going to call me back when he was ready, since then I never heard from him, when I called the phone # all I hear is a voice telling me goodbye. Now I have no idea how I'm going to reimburse the person.I'm sreeming so loud please,help me catch them.

There is no help for you. You foolishly sent money to someone you didn't know and got scammed. Don't you know that you NEVER have to put money up front for a personal loan ?????? Now your ignorance has cost you dearly. And NO, these scammers will never be caught, not as long as fools like you keep sending them money. WISE UP, or you'll be scammed the rest of your life.

Google "Advance Fee Loan Scam"
One of first sites that come up is the FBI site. There's more detail there but basically:
1) It is illegal to require an upfront payment as a condition of lending money. Anybody who wants you to pay them to lend you money is going to steal from you.
2) Any money sent via Western Union, Moneymart and such, is untraceable and gone forever the second it is handed over. Those places are not banks and are not regulated. If it is not being sent to someone you specifically know, you will never see it again. No legitimate business NEEDS to use Western Union. Especially if the recipient of the money is in a different country from where the business pretends to exist.
File complaints with your police, FBI, i3c.gov, and even Phonebusters in Canada. You won't ever see your money again, but your complaint might contain the extra bit of information that helps put these people in jail. It does happen.
