Hi,
Regret to say that after being taken a few time I know the authorities will do b..... all to help unless you can put together a watertight case of fraud. Even then it's hard. I was defrauded of $220K by a "friendly" financial advisor back in the 80's ; after 5 years I got max. compensation from FIMBRA (£90K) and the FBI locked us the US end of the fraud - mut the 2nd in charge of the UK Fraud Squad (Myer) told me Mrs T discouraged prosecution of white collar crims ecause too many of her "ones of us" were involved.
That wa smy first lesson of "too good to be true...! Never trust anyone with money; the best people go rotten. Give it to them - or keep it from them, No half measures - or no friends
