Money fraud .....what the solution???

This is a very difficult situation and the procedure for recovery of money is quite cumbersome. Since you have remitted the money through banking channel, can get a proof of remittance certificate from your bankers and file a criminal complaint of cheating with the local police station in India (if the guy is still in India). Even this would be difficult - one you have no concrete proof of the transaction and the police also may view this as a civil transaction, and advise you to file a civil suit. Best feasible option would be contact a common friend, prevail on the person to get what ever worth can be recovered. While the breach of trust is a deadly sin, there is hardly a legal remedy for such transactions where we lend money or extend some help in complete good faith.

how can you prove that you had given the money as a "loan"?

do you have any proof of acknowledgement by them?

eventhough you had been cheated,unless you have some proof,i think it is very difficult to win your case.

other experts may give some practical advise.

you can file case of cheating against them in india too

where do you live?
