I Got Scammed

Never buy anything on Facebook.
I lost $700, $300 and $110 from an India, another guy from UAE and the last one from Pakistan. Crazy

Yes, I seek a refund but they didn't respond. I called the scammers bank but the recipient told me to call my own bank from where I issued the payment and that they maybe able to assist me.
I called my bank, they said I should obtain a police report and court order so that they might get the funds back.
The problem with their request of police report and court order here in my country is that it's not easy as it sounds, you will pay if not more than what you are scammed to get this requirements and to get them to do the work effectively.

Whatever may be the case. Just file an FIR. Barely 1% of the people who get scammed actually complain police. Rest 99% keep crying over spilt milk. So don't be like those 99% and approach the police or the Cyber Crime department whichever place they refer you to and fight for your hard earned money.

I really wanted to pin them down but am not ready to spend much more money again.
 
You can't trust anyone in this world, especially on the Internet. ((

Sorry to hear you got scammed but in general online business has a giant amount of scammers if possible try and get payment or sale through something secure as much as possible such as Paypal or Stripe or some other way so you have if the need comes to get you money back.

Not sure. Either way if your only use is messenger, then create some dummy FB account for it called mickey mouse or something.
