Hate to say this - but you're screwed bro. There is not a damn thing you can do about it - you gave them the money, plain and simple. especially since it is across international borders...\n\nListen up people - if the "deal" sounds too good to be true,thats because IT IS! No one from Africa wants to split $10M with you if you send your bank acct info. No one wants you to cash their checks and keep 10%. Get real - dont be a fool. The reason that these con games work is because people are generally GREEDY - if you werent in such a hurry to make the free cash, you would have thought about it for a minute. You got what you deserved. You got fooled by a con man becuse you were gullible to believe that he really wanted you to cash checks. \n\nChalk it up to experience and DONT DO IT AGAIN.

I have been scammed in the recent past, scam artists take a lot of time to think up their scams so it may take a lot of time to figure out and untangle their scam, so hang in there.\n\n1. Visit a "meta" search engine or google. \n2. Enter the email id of the scam artist "mystyle120op".   \n3. Research each result set, even if you do not see a match.  \n4. Think of any words or verbage used by the scam artist and keep researching. \n5. Report it to other agencies since others were most likely scammed too. \n6. Turn over your evidence to legitimate scam or fraud investigation agencies \n7. Hang in there until you get help or the scam artist will continue to scam others\n8. Praying helps!  Good luck.

There are too many unidentified variables in this situation that makes giving advice difficult, therefore I am refering you to someone who you can provide you with real time communicative assistance.\n\nI Hope you Have MS XP Pro OS system platform, as it will help immensely in their ability to help you.\n\nContact your ISP by phone and ask to speak to tech support. tell them your situation, and offer to have them connect to your system remotely as a user. You will need to change the security setting in XP to allow them to do this, so follow their instructions. Make sure you set them back once it is over so hackers can't take control of your system.\n\nIf this doesn't work, do the same thing with the tech support people employed by the operators of the FTP servers.\n\nIf it is still not fixed by this time, do the same thing again after contacting the tech support people at the place where you purchased the computer.\n\nIf it is still not fixed, the retailer you spoke to last should offer to refund or replace the hardware of the computer you purchased.\n\nGood luck.

How do you know you were intruded?\n\nDepending on what exploit the hacker used to gain access to your pc, there are some things you can do.\n\nfirst off, get all updates for Windows, Internet explorer as well as your anti virus program. \n\nthen clean up your pc of all the unused registry entries, temp folder files, and the rest. There is a program called system mechanic that does this for you. They offer a free fully functional trial that should help you restore your system. check them out here:\n\nIf none of this works...and your ready, you may need to reformat your hard drive meaning erase your whole computer and reload a fresh copy of Windows.\n\nif you want to go this way, also check out a mandriva Linux solution.

Just report to your local Police "internet crimes" division , and only report the website , let THEM get the IP addy. You don't know all the laws and loopholes that "pedo scum" use to do their buisness and you yourself could get in trouble , if not done right.

I try not to do things I would mind seeing played back to me.  But I would strongly urge you to inform the police, this is called extortion and is a federal offence.  They may be able to help you and perhaps save some other fool from this humiliating experience.  That is, if this is for real.  Usually hard for a stranger to install hardware on a home computor without someone letting them in isn't it?  Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

You can go to the cache in the system section on your hard drive or there are programs that will retrieve info even after it has been trashed.  Norton utilities and such.  Good luck in finding out if he's been surfing for porn.  The scum bag.  If I'm wrong, forgive me, but there a very few other reasons to try to find out where you been on the magical web.  If he's Guitly, trash his A s s........ again, if not, shut my mouth.

call the internet company and ask about a block. Delete your history from your computer and browser continually, use hotmail email and change it frequently and move. Get your computer to a different house, and bills mailed to another. Or use  library or cafe comp.... or you try a wireless connection. A laptop. That way he can't track what comp. info comes from yo house. Call the company. Oh, and check out the 'interent  police' and report him. Do a search on google.

hahaha good luck! People make copies of the net. You can look up old copies even on google. Hopefully you were smart and didn't do first and last name on your page together. Try googling your first and last and start pouring through. \n\nYou can always set up a few decoy sites to come up in the results first. I have a friend who did that.

Somebody hacked you, and there might not be anything yet, but they obviously got in. I would disconnect my Internet cable and If you don't have a router you need to get one. That will stop it. You can buy at walmart for $40 dollars, or any computer supplier. If you want to know more about a router email me.
