Money fraud .....what the solution???

Dear Sir,

I lend some money (£2200) to  my husband's friend. That friends son is in london so he wants to pay some fees from here (india) to london bank. I have my uk bank account so he asked us to pay directly there and i will give money here in ruppes. But this incident happend on 1st Oct 2009. Till we are asking for money and recently he said do whatever u want. i dont have money. 

His son is student there in  hammersmith college, as we are aware he is going to canada there and want to disaapear there for 10 years. so then he can get green card. I approched to university but they are helpless. I am in india and my bank in uk. so UK bank also saying that you can make a complaint in UK police. But how i can do all this. Our india law have any solution? I want some solution for this problem and dont know where to ask????

Your advice and help will be really appreciated.

Thanks

This is a very difficult situation and the procedure for recovery of money is quite cumbersome. Since you have remitted the money through banking channel, can get a proof of remittance certificate from your bankers and file a criminal complaint of cheating with the local police station in India (if the guy is still in India). Even this would be difficult - one you have no concrete proof of the transaction and the police also may view this as a civil transaction, and advise you to file a civil suit. Best feasible option would be contact a common friend, prevail on the person to get what ever worth can be recovered. While the breach of trust is a deadly sin, there is hardly a legal remedy for such transactions where we lend money or extend some help in complete good faith.

how can you prove that you had given the money as a "loan"?

do you have any proof of acknowledgement by them?


eventhough you had been cheated,unless you have some proof,i think it is very difficult to win your case.

other experts may give some practical advise.
