Like an idiot I sent someone I met over a forum quite a lot of money for a job lot of iPhones. I deposited the cash in to their bank account, a Halifax account. As you can imagine I am not very happy at the moment. I do not want to go to the police as they are a waste of space. I would like to pay this person a visit and get the money back of them myself. I have their name, their bank details (account no and sort code), their email address, and their mobile phone number. How would I go about finding their home address? Is it possible? Does anyone work in a Halifax bank and maybe I can slip them some money to get that info for me? If not, was worth a try.

Mike,

I hate to break the bad news to you but not only have you just lost your money but you are asking if anyone is willing commit a criminal offense on your behalf. Its is both illegal for a bank worker to acquire that information for you and for you to ask them to do so.

Your options are:

1 - Go to the police
2 - Speak to your bank and see if they can withhold or stop the payment due to fraud
3 - Use some open source tools like 192.com or something similar to find the person

Sorry to hear that, In my opinion, Going the police is your best choice, Despite their slow speed handling, but they know more than you.
