I'm a Realtor in Michigan and through my buyers loan officer they were tricked into doing this and have lost much monies. They have been trying to get their money back but have had no results.
Can someone tell me who they have been in contact with that might be helping them as so I can pass this information along to them?
Below is an auto response that my clients got when trying to make contact with Trace/Wellington, any help would be so appreciated.

This is a general notification being sent to all of us who have been affected by Trace Financial Group, Inc.
I am currently working with Special Agent Christopher Burke from the FBI Boston
office as a result of a report I made earlier this year. We are putting
together information to assist Special Agent Burke with his
Investigation on Trace Financial Group, Inc, Tampa, FL.Special
Agent Burke has been sent contact information and fund transfer
information sent to Trace Financial Group, Inc on the details that we
have on file. However, if funds were sent directly to Trace Financial
Group, Inc, you will need to provide the dates, amounts, and how funds
were sent (Wire / Cashiers Check etc) to assist Special Agent Burke
further. He is working to recover any losses for us.
Please be aware that Special Agent Burke may contact you directly if he has any other questions for you about Trace Financial Group, Inc, therefore I would ask you to provide updated contact information for all concerned parties. Allcorrespondence relating to Trace Financial Group, Inc should be sent via email to allow for packaging for Special Agent Burke. Progress
information will be supplied when received.
Thank you.

I recently was in contact with a woman from the Attorney General's office in Florida. She said that we were taken in a pre-payment loan scam. She also said that due the number of reports, Trace Financial and Ann Ursiny, among others, are now in the early stages of an investigation, but to please report back to her immediately if I received my refund. I course I have not. She also gave my FBI contacts and my case file number and was told to get in touch with them.
