At this point the suspect may also be violating banking laws, and most likely this is not his first offence, so I would expect the RCMP to conduct a quick open and shut case, and charge the perp. The RCMP should be able to easily track etransfer fraud, when it is clear a crime has been committed.
I was hoping someone on the forum either worked in the banking sector, or law enforcement and could confirm my assumptions.
On a side note, I have never had a problem selling my tickets or buying tickets for away games, but I always assumed I had recourse, when I transferred the money electronically.

hahahaha sorry man but that's now how it works in real life. This isn't CSI. The way it really works is a couple cops will come to your home and make you fill out a statement. God help you if the fraudster is in another province. Then what will happen is your case will go to the fraud team (not to Sherlock Holmes). This team already has about 5-6 years of case backlog. So in 5-6 years they'll get to your case and by then the people will have moved, info will have changed and they case will end up in a garbage can with most others.
The only real way you will get your money back is if you file a lawsuit in civil court and pay a really good lawyer, then after tens of thousands of dollars you might get a ruling in your favor. That ruling will likely have zero outcome as it will go into the bottom of a pile and your odds of ever collecting the money is very low.
This is how the real world works. So yea, if you get scammed using an EMT you're screwed. At least with paypal you can file a chargeback. If you have to go to the cops, you've already lost.
