    I just cant believe that people still fall for these schemes even after all of the press and watchdog reports? I question everything I see especially on e-bay.

    Sounds too good to be true,.....then it is, it really really is too good to be true!!

    There are no get rich quick money making schemes...ever!!

    If I were you, I'd chalk it up to my own stupidity and accept that the money is gone and you wont see another penny of it and move on and learn from this.

    Sorry to sound harsh, but continuing your search to get your money back is just prolonging your agony. X

    Sadly, I suspect there'll be little positive news on this thread. A very expensive way to learn a basic lesson.
