How can I recover funds from a scam bank?
I am an Indian citizen and had an online account with 'Amerson Finance Bank' (https://www.amersonfinancebk.com), which is now inactive. The bank closed in August 2022 after collecting various fees from me. I have receipts but never received a cheque or refund of the remaining balance. I reported the matter to the FBI (ic3.gov), FDIC, and CBI in India. FDIC responded, saying it may be a scam, but other authorities haven't replied. Is there any way I can recover my money?
Since the bank appears to be fake, you’ve done the right thing by reporting it to the FBI (IC3), FDIC, and CBI. Sadly, recovery is tough in international scams. You may also report to Indian Cyber Crime Portal. Keep all proofs safe. Most likely, it's a scam and legal help may be limited. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
