online gaming western union fraud

Recently, I received a letter in the mail from an online gaming company. It stated that I won $150,000.00. I had an attorney check it out and the attorney said that the check seemed legit so I proceeded to open an account to then deposit the check. The next day it cleared. I then called the number that came with the check for $3100.00 and the company then told me to send x amount of money through western union. So I did and in the next couple of days the check I had deposited was returned as a counterfeit check. I reported to the police and I am in the process of reporting it to the F.B.I. I am writing for advice for what I should do for legal action to take now.

You may file a police and/or FBI report for fraud, and file in court where they live as well if you know who they are. WLD can also track them down, prosecute and collect though they do charge a basic fee for that. WLD has 280 lawyers in the group covering all U.S. states and 26 countries.

I wanted to view a flat. The lady said I should show that I was able to pay the deposit and two month rent before arranging the viewing. So, she asked me to do a western union transfer to a friend of mine, wich I did knowing that only my friend could withdraw the money. I scanned and sent to her the receipt of the two transactions made.

When I stopped hearing from her and asked to confirm that we had a viewing she did not reply. Few days later I went to see if the money was still there and it had disappeared. My friend could not have taken the money because he did not have the reference number for the transaction.
