How big does the crime have to be before the FBI/Secret Service or State Investigation Officials will take an interest in a case where someone has scammed me out of $25,000 by stating they worked for a reputable company when they didn't?
I have be told the FBI and other large agencies won't get involved unless it is $250,000 or more and that it would be a very difficult investigation for a local police department because these guys are in other states and we really don't know who they are.
They went as far a setting up a corporate bank account, web address with e-mails (faked headers) and so on.
The company who's name was used is investigating with their own internal investigators and said they will turn the info over to the authorities but their interest is in stopping it and covering their butts not getting my money back.
Am I waisting my time and money or will someone investigate this???
Thanks
