lets say i buy a notebook from a classified ads site (not ebay), i send the money with check, by mail, and i dont receive the notebook. I've been scammed but what can I do? can i sue him? can the police help me? he is in a different country (UK) My country is in the EU also. I am not the one who is scammed, its a friend of mine who asked me to gather some info. Thanks in advance.
If the cheque have not been cashed yet then the payment can be stopped from bank where cheque belong. If cashed then no way to get it back.
