Sorry that this happened.

I expect that the odds are against you, as I have always heard that it is impossible to retrieve a bank wire, but it might be worthwhile to contact the bank branch that received the money and file a police report. Unlikely that the bank will be able to help you, but maybe it's worth a try.

: I had a similar situation about 2 years ago. Call the bank that
: Chase wired the money to and ask to speak with their
: security/fraud department. When I called, they were aware of
: this scammer and apparently were investigating him. I never got
: my money back but hopefully they caught the ahole.
