Report to fbi. They were nice and very responsive
Anyone familiar with the cyber or financial crimes unit?

I don't know precisely what happened, but the Office of Consumer Protection might also be able to help. They work with the Federal Trade Commission too.

They work with local police as well. This might be beyond their scope, but they really are good at solving financial sales scams, etc. If that's what this is.

The Fairfax County non emergency line is (703) 691-2131.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks for reporting back. I have no input other than that. Good luck OP and I hope you are able to find justice as well as get your money back.

It's at the county/city level, not state-wide.

Above PP again. You can call today.

Call 301 279 8000. Non emergency number. You will have the option of doing a phone report which will give u a case number. Do that.

Montgomery county. fraud/online related. already did contact the Feds. just call the main non 911 number? I see there is a cyber division, do I wait until Monday or are they there today to take my information? I do have IP address info that i think can be traced which is why I wanted to get someone asap to ask some questions.

and yes, I am being guarded that there is likely not anything they can do, but i was advised to report locally to the cops.

thanks.
