i had someone find out my pin number online somehow not aas related and they withdrew 500 bucks in some euro country and my bank saw it and new i wasn't out of the country and I got it all back in a couple days. Your situation, yea youre screwed. Never buy from someone YOU dont know.
If you try and report your loss, aren't they gonna know what you were attempting to purchase? I've never had to do that so I donno, but I would think they may find out...
Did you wire the money to the scammer via Western Union online?

Man just tell them you were buying some weight loss pills like xenadrin or protein powder whatever. I would not let someone run right over me I would grabem and strangle the life outa them for my money back. Dont tell the card company anything stupid just let them know you were purchaseing powdered egg white's. I am sure you'll think of something but dont give up a fight till you know your gonna get your neck snapped.

I would say 95% of Web sites are scams or stings. On a side note people do use CC's all day long with no problems at all. WU is a pain in the ass but they need money also.

You WILL be able to get your money back in full. Call your CC company and tell them that you purchased goods online and the company did not send the product and you want the transaction refunded. If the online company do not produce a proof of delivery notice to your CC company, when they request it, they will then call back the money. It'll take a few weeks but it's a guaranteed return. Do not worry about the legallity of what you purchased, your CC company have no interest and you will NOT get into trouble. Now go get your money back and stick with good reputable sources in the future.....

who the hell would order online with a CC? Some people are way to trusting of the stuff they see online. They figure if they have a nice lookin website and accept a CC they must be legit. It probably had some ridiculous name like supersteroids.com or somethin like that. Obviously its a scam.
