Anybody knows what legal action I may take to get my money back?

I had around 30K Linden dollars deposited in this financial service and they ran off several months ago. LL says I could take legal actions but I just dunno what to do. Has anybody done that?

none.

you only lost about $108+ US. ultimately, you can only let it go and move on since LL won't give out personal info to you to sue them, and LL won't get involved.

sorry, and good luck.

You would have to know who the other party is in RL and take them to court, I guess.

Report it to the police.

File a police report and maybe also file a fraud report with the FBI in their internet fraud division. they can take action from there and investigate. For $108 USD it isn't worth your time or money to hire a lawyer. it would cost you more to file a suit and get lawyers to get personal info from LL.

I think you should just mark it down as an (expensive) lesson and move on. Any course of action you take will involve at least your time if not money and it really isn't worth the effort for L$30K as there is a very high chance you will never get your money back.

I am sorry about your loss I had friends who lost 100k and there is no way to get it back.
As that Ponzi guy said you gifted it to me, I don't have to gift it back. And he is right but not
morally right.

For a hundred $100 I think you just move on, it will cost your more in legal fees.

And please don't report it to the police, I doubt they will take it seriously

100k real money?

This sounds like very sound advice; as you say, it would cost too much to hire a lawyer, but reports should be filed. I'm not sure what to think of the people saying 'don't report it'.

OMG the police will laugh themselves silly about a disput with vitural money

they might laugh, but they still have to take a report, and investigate it. I believe that means contacting LL and getting the information...they may do nothing with it from there, but certainly with information someone might, if they wanted, file a civil claim.

You must :- Name and Shame!!! To save us all

Thanks everyone. I wonder if LL will give the bank runner's info to the police if they did decide to investigate. Although LL did say, in its official bank ban policy, that they would cooperate with the real world authorities but it seems that a lot of those bank runner guys were faceless.

Did LL ask for any real information at all? -- when those ppl chartered financial institutions in SL.

In lindens that was about 380 usd right now. I think she lost 500 usd to be exact to
the whole Ginko thing.
I assume they cashed out and LL knows the real life people's names involved but
it would take class action suit to get the money back.
I heard in SLEX now called Xstreet months back people were discussing this but not sure
whatever happen.
My friend just felt sad and moved on about it.

Virtual money with real value.

But it is not virtual money. it is a solid currency with a global exchange rate with other world currencies. it is, in fact, more real than Las Vagas casino chips.

No. there is no reason to get yourself banned on top of loosing at most a couple of days pay.

I highly doubt they registered with LL at all.

That amount would have to be recovered in small claims court if you are in the US. Not really worth it. You may be able to get your case on Judge Judy or The Peoples Court, if you really felt it needed to be pursued.
