I've just been scammed of potentially thousands, what should I do?

What about the guy who threatened you? Has he done anything since then?

I've heard nothing for 3 months so I assume he's forgotten about it or decided it wasn't worth pursuing anymore.

Just wondering, have you checked the teamviewer logs for any details on your scammers IP? Maybe he was stupid enough to not use a proxy.

Yeah I did a proper deep scan in everything and nothing came up, no IPs or anything. It only seems to log IPs when you're directly connected to each other, it won't show if it's using the TeamViewer proxy (e.g. behind a strict firewall). The guy is smart though, I'll give him that, so I reckon he was probably using a proxy either way.

At the end of the day though I haven't lost any money, even if I did get my PayPal and bank accounts fucked over. I've got a new bank account now but I'm going to avoid PayPal like the plague unless I really have to use it, in which case I'll use someone else's account.
