Just got scammed $1200 by someone IRL. It was through an Interac e-Transfer and the bank says there's nothing I can do about it and filing a police report is probably my only option. I am not open to sharing how it happened at this time.

A police report has already been filed.

Not options:
Confronting the guy (he disappeared)

Information I have:
Their interac e-mail
An instagram account I think they jacked ... or may borrowed... (my friend's)
Cell #

If you have any experience or knowledge please help me. If you don't have anything positive to contribute please don't roast me, I feel shitty enough as it is. This is a sensitive topic for me so anything negative will result in a hearty "fuck off" from me.

Here what is what I'd do if this person did this to me. I first track this man down and get of a bunch of my friends to beat the living crap out of him until he can't breath. Break both of his god damn legs and arms and get your damn money back. Tell him you fuck with him or anyone else you'll be back. Like legit stealing 1k from something is bad and I'd do anything to kick the living shit out of the man who has done this to myself.
its kind of hard to just track someone down, anyway if you did beat the shit out of him you would probably get in more trouble for that then him getting in trouble for scamming you because "scamming" isn't taken as seriously as beating the living shit out of someone.

Then why are you posting about it? You were already given your best option by the bank, do that. Not much else to do.

Already contacted the police, just seeing if anyone knows anything about interac e-transfers or has had experiences with any similar scams. Also some people on here may help me track the person down. I already found out that as Corley said, it's a burner phone and another user helped my trace the IP of the person which led to a public proxy.

It was worth a shot, and would really have benefited if the person wasn't experienced enough to protect themselves like this.
