I have contacted Western Union, and the buggers have taken my money, but will not answer any emails sent to them. I have threatened contacting the police, but I doubt I will get anywhere.
My hubby just got laid off, so having $1000 go missing freaking hurts! Money or product... either way I would have been happy. Not only is it $1000 of my money, I had sold a few of the items and now owe the people product, or money as well. That was how I had $1000 to spend in the first place. BAH.
So now I have to contact the fraud department of Western Union, who by the way states its my fault, because they say in fine print not to send money to anyone that you don't know personally. I also have a guy in China threaten them in Chinese, and after he did, the website went away completely! So now I have to contact the Chinese/Canadian consollate (sp) and cross my fingers someone can help us get the products or our money back.
We just managed to extricate my MIL from a similar scam. I'm very sorry you got taken.
