Note from admin: This message is about an alleged fraudulent Interntet electronics sales site based in Java. Though quite why anyone outside Indonesia would want to buy goods from a store (that maybe a con) in Java in the first place we think beggers belief. Moral = do not buy from Indonesians.
Hello,
I initially tried contacting Indonesian Police Headquarters directly, but their email does not work. Please forward this message to them. It is in regards to a fraud / scam that I was involved in.... I've already contacted the FBI here in the United States. I was hoping with the information I give you that you may be able to find the culprit, arrest him (them?) and hopefully return my money ($6325 USD).
**************************************************************************
My name is Gustave Hebert. I just made a wire transfer to a bank in Indonesia (Permatabank) in someone's name and I am afraid I might have just been SCAMMED by a fake business. I was wondering if you might be able to help me or direct me to someone that I may be able to speak to.
The wire transfer was sent a few days ago. The information regarding the company and the account is as follows:

It now appears to me that this is not a real company now and the sales person above (Abdi Jaya) is now not returning any of my emails. The money has been pulled from my account but I am worried that I may have been scammed into sending money to a fake company.
