You need to talk to your bank ASAP as well as to the police. The account you sent the money to might have been a "money mule". You need to do this via your own bank and not via the scammers. Really, raise hell with them. This is organized crime and not some small-time crook.

Everything the scammers are doing now (the chat and the mails) is merely to delay you from taking action.

I can supply you and/or the police with a pretty comprehensive list of domains used by this scammer since 2015 (including screenshots and everything).

So around an hour or so after we made the transfer these guys started to remove websites and forum posts. We immediately phoned the bank and action fraud etc. Filed a report, was again on the bank at 7am when they opened and what they have done is sent the report to THEIR bank and froze their account. Hopefully there is money in that account an we'll get something back but again i'm not hopeful on the above at all.

A list would be awesome. Any help would be awesome

I sent you a private message with some information.

I have also made a payment to this company and cant believe how stupid ive been. I have contacted the bank and need to contact the banks fraud team in the morning. Any advice would be greatly received.

I sent you a private message with some information, too.

The scammer now took down the website for "Selleo Trading Group"; it probably will show up with a new name in a couple of days.

You're not stupid. These scams are very sophisticated. You've done the right thing by contacting your bank and their fraud team and I sincerely hope you were in time and that you haven't lost money.

SMIOM in any of the images they sent you can you see any businesses or anything with a sign in the background?
I noticed one place in the images i got but it is too blurry to tell.
As i noticed about 4 of their adds were taken at the same place.

Quick update: The scammer is back as "Sellit4U Trading Group".

(And I'm still not allowed to post the URLs; oh well...)

This is the active link and be aware this is a scam site.

I am only posting this as hopefully this activity and mentioning the site name sellit4U Trading Group will push this thread up googles search list which is now populated with similar good forum reviews falsely posted using WordPress I think to get positive results when potential customers look for any kind of feedback
