Scam lose for tax deductable

[alvindu]

I live in Canada. I recently got scammed by an online fraud popularly known as "Money Order" Fraud. My total lost is CAD$3000.00. And I believe it is nearly impossible to get my money back from the bank or the buyer. Therefore, the only possible way for me is to apply this lost for tax deductable in 2008.

Are there any possible ways to claim this lose eventhough this I don't have any business registration and this transcation is done personally????

Or whatever ways to get this money back legally???

Please, I need your sincere help!!!! And pay this forward to raise other people's attatantion

Thank you very much.

Money Order Fraud.

Dear World Law: Recently I had a encountered cashier checks affair with Wells Fargo Bank, someone or ring(crooks) lured me to become a Secret Shopper online after I sent in my resume through this MB Trading company in Los Angeles which they've no idea someone is using their web site to hire people, my first assignment was to observed and reported the Safeway 0742 operations close to my home then wire rest of my money through Western Union for those cash I got from Wells Fargo bank, because those were counterfeit cashier checks from MB Trading and Wells Fargo Bank then I got twice of the cash with first two fake checks then third check was spotted by one of the branch manager and she immediately stopped the process and took away all of my receipts and envelope I got from the crooks, I learned one thing the Wells Fargo bank can easily to spot the fake checks but they intend to let go if they know you've money in the bank to cover the fake checks, this means Wells Fargo Bank is on the crooks side, I was lucky someone at the bank stopped, I lost about $6,500.00 altogether because I was counting on Wells Fargo Bank can verify the checks. The Wells Fargo bankers told me even they noticed the fake checks but they still will let go, bank said it is not their responbility. Now, Wells Fargo bankers told me to open an equity line to pay off the debts. So you're right the bank is not for customers is for crooks. I've all of evidence with me. Too bad I've Wells Fargo home mortage as well.

Pls tell me any institute or financial advisory to get partial lost of $6,500.00 back, Wells Fargo bankers told me "I'm on my own" but bankers don't look after the customers protection, just fell that Wells Fargo Bank is on the crroks side. That mades me worry and furious. Pls advice? Thanks for your attentions and listening.

Can I claim this lost from my income tax filing in 2009? Pls advice? Thanks

By law the depositor normally is responsible--but you could try threatening to sue them in small claims or other court--you can in some cases argue that they made a separate agreement with you when they said the funds were cleared and the check was okay...you relied on this agreement made between you and the bank employee...world law lawyers can also often assist in negotiating a solution if need be.
