filing a police report

Hope some of you can help me out here...
i did a wire to a fraudster few days back for a deal (search for kutime or ku time under who’s who if you are curious).
i would like to file a police report against the bastard (i have his name, bank details, address and mobile number, granted it may not be genuine)

However, the issue is i’m not in the states and i wonder if i can do this online?
Yes, i know...there were red flags in the deal and i was careless and missed them but please spare me the preaching and lectures alright?... :(

Sorry to hear...

So my recommendation is to file it in the city the fraud occurred with the appropriate police department. If you file in your home city the report gets forwarded to the city the crime occurred in, which means no one will probably follow up with it.

If it is a business try the BBB, file a complaint. Also contact your bank see if they can do anything, provide them with a police report number. In all honestly the money is probably gone BUT you are lucky the money is in the USA so there is a chance. You are really going to have to bug the local police department till they tell you there’s nothing more they can do or they are able to help. Maybe even obtaining the guys name, date of birth, address you might be able to go after him in civil court.

Anyways, best of luck to you!

I would discuss this with local police. They should be able to advise authorities in the USA.

I would also file a police report with your police. I would think a call from your police to the police in MD would mean more than only from you.

Seems there are multiple victims. If you can join forces you'll have a better chance of gaining traction with local LE. Maybe the FBI if the $ amount is high enough. Worth pursuing.

That’s unfortunate. I’m sorry to hear that. Although I can’t give you advise on what to do I want to note I was in the middle of working out a deal with kutime for an omega speedmaster. He claimed he would send me photos of the watch with my username and such. I asked him to a do a video chat so we can see eachother and I can verify the watch. He stopped responding as soon as I asked this.
