Advice - If you suspect, or have been scammed?

Example of an American Citizen and a dating agency in the Ukraine

Under both US and Ukrainian law anyone who benefits financially from a scam whether they are aware of it or not is complicit and are obligated to make corrections or risk being named in criminal and civil suits. This applies to both the credit card company and their credit card processor that benefit financially.

US federal authorities take a dim view of foreign enterprises, especially online ones, scamming US citizens. Sometimes when this occurs according to reliable sources, the best and most effective tactic is to go after the money, meaning their credit card processing gateways. The processors have way to much at stake to allow a scammer to ensnare them in their web of lies, and they cannot escape the long arm of the FBI if they ever hope to do business with US financial institutions.

It is possibly best to advise your credit card company and the online dating agencies credit card processor at the same time as reporting it to the Ukrainian police (or the country where the suspected fraud originates) and the National police force in your country.

Do not just leave your bad luck experience in a Forum - Report it to the appropriate authorities.
