    So "leverage to recover from the guilty person" is less of concern than just tracking down the guilty person without having the police, fraud squad etc involved.

    If you aren't aiming to recover the money, what's the point of identifying the guilty person? Are you planning to beat them up, or something? The police would soon get involved then.

    Unless you report it to the police you cannot prove any fraud. The guilty person can just claim that you gave them the money and you won't be able to prove otherwise.
  • Obviously I'm not going to beat them up, as i said, I'm worried about them

    I'm worried about them

    Have you asked friends or family members if they know the person's whereabouts?
  • They have no friends, and my household are the only family that have not disowned. I think ill leave this now as not really a banking forum question anymore x
