Hello,
I got ripped of by Indonesian seller last year for £2000 when i was new to the trade, and it got me on all kinds trouble.
I traced the seller through Whois and even got him on the telephone but by time id reported it to my bank and UK embassy in Indonesia he;d cleared the bank account so I couldnt get money back.
UK embassy give me list of credible Solicitors in the region but they wanted payment upfront with no guarantee to getting my money back.
The UK Embassy was useless and my bank said all banks in Indonesia are so easy to open up accounts with fake ID that once they scam one person they just keep switching banks.
Id advise everyone not ever deal with Indonesia and Africa (Nigeria)
Ive had to put it down to experience and try rebuild my business as it got me trouble with buyers whos paid me for items.
Regards
Paul
