Spear-Phished - What Now?

I was recently "spear phished" out of $2500.00 by a third party who used eBay as a cover for the transaction. Is there any way for me to recoup the money if the transaction was done via MoneyGram?


You should contact eBay directly to find out if there are any fraud protections that you can use to recover the funds. A quick review of eBay's protection program showed that it does not include MoneyGram and similar services as approved payment methods. That may prevent you from obtaining any assistance from them.
