<prompt> Human: As stated above, my friend was involved in a scam through Craigslist. Its one of those Ill mail you a check to cover x for x amount plus transportation. He wired money to an account Bank of America from his bank TD. He contacted Bank of America and was able to tell them that the owner of the account was fradulent and is currently in the process of contacting the FBI. Are there any other remedies for this, and would he be able to get back any of the money he wired into the fradulent account? Also is there any other advice or steps that can be taken? I apologize for any misspelling or grammatical errors as I am on mobile.  <response>: He files a police report and presents that to the bank, but this is likely a very expensive lesson. This is the most common scam in the book, and if it didnt set off alarm bells every step of the way, your friend was ignoring the red flags.
