We’re sorry to hear that you’ve experienced this. We commend you for recognizing the situation for what it is. Here’s a step-by-step course of action you should consider:

1. Report the scam to your local police. While they may not always be able to recover the lost funds, they will make a record of the incident, which could help in future investigations.

2. Inform your bank about the scam. If you’ve deposited a fake check, they need to know about it. The bank can provide guidance on how to protect your account or suggest opening a new one.

3. Keep records of all your communications with the scammer. This includes text messages, emails, and any other evidence you have. This will be useful when reporting the incident to the police and other relevant agencies.

4. While it sounds like you’ve already tried this, ensure you cease all forms of communication with the scammer. If they continue to try to contact you, do not respond.

5. Report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) through their website in the USA, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, UK Action Fraud, or any relevant agency or organization that handles fraud and cybercrime complaints in your country.

6. Change the passwords for all your accounts, especially if you’ve shared any personal details with the scammer.

7. These scams can be emotionally distressing. Consider seeking support from close friends or family or even professional counseling. Some communities have support groups specifically for victims of scams or cybercrimes.

Remember, scammers are professionals who have perfected their craft. They prey on kind-hearted and trusting individuals. It’s easy to look back with hindsight and see the red flags, but in the moment, many people fall victim to these scams.

Please take action and protect yourself. Remember that you’re not alone in this, and resources and people are willing to help and support you.

Dear Dorin. We understand that this must be a tough situation for you. Tracing the usage of gift cards is a challenging task due to the nature of their usage and the anonymity they provide. Even though our investigative team is highly experienced, tracing gift cards isn’t usually feasible.

Nevertheless, we encourage you to report this incident to your local law enforcement and also to the platform where you met this individual, as they might be able to take necessary actions to prevent such instances in the future.

Please, also consider talking to someone you trust about your experience. As our article points out, these scams can be emotionally devastating, and it can help to share what you’re going through with supportive people in your life.
