here is ANOTHER email from the chick with the fake car!" Like I said I don't think that I'll ever see the money again, but I can't help but try. You all are the best!
I'm sorry this happened to you.
I have a friend who lost her house to scammers. She thought she was refinancing, but after everything was signed, she found out she had been tricked and had basically given her house away! She was a widow who never had to deal with things like this before because her DH had always taken care of these things. She had good equity in her home and was trying to lower her mortgage payment since she was living on just income now. She lost $120,000 in equity, and lost her home. She had to move out and had to rent a house.
A few months after she moved into the house, a pipe burst downstairs while she was sleeping. When she woke up, she opened her bedroom door to a gush of water! The water had reached up the upstairs and the entire downstairs was flooded!!! She lost so many things that she had bought with her DH including cherished wedding photos that could not be replaced. My heart just broke for her. First she lost her DH, then her house, and then her cherished items. No renters insurance, either.
So you are right -- this is horrible, but it could be worse. You still have your family, your children and a roof over your head. You will get through this. I'm so sorry!
I'm very sorry about your situation
I feel your pain. My husband has been waiting for money from a job that he worked on over a year ago. Well over $20k, from an insurance company...he redid a whole house that was flooded in England. We have spent a lot of our savings trying to pay for all of the stuff we needed to get him here. We spent tons of money on a lawyer and it costs a lot to go through the green card stuff so we could get married. Also, until the green card came through we could only rely on my income which supported 4 people so our savings took a hit there.
We finally got to the bottom of the money situation. We really needed that money because I'm 9 months pregnant and we need a place to live and don't have anyplace, so we wanted to buy a little place with the money. We found out that my husbands business partner and 'friend' of years stole all of the money my husband was owed...and probably more. Probably in the ball park of $30k-40k when all is said and done. First we found out he lied about the sum of money owed, then he cashed the check in his name (he shouldn't have been able to do that, it should have been in the businesses name) and took the whole amount of money.
There is nothing left and not much we can do about it. We tried to file something with the police and they don't really do much, and it's hard to do from over here (his ex-partner lives in Scotland) I understand your heartbreak, you don't expect people to be scumbags and take your money, because it's not something you would do. It just makes you lose faith in all people.
I don't know why law enforcement doesn't crack down on these people, instead of allowing them to walk away and go on to the next victim. 
and Pixie Dust for you and your family

your way for your money to be returned fast
Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry to hear about what you and your family are being forced to endure.
It's bad enough when something like this happens, but to find out that it's near impossible to get help when it does happen, is even worse.
I hope everything works out with you and your family.
. I'm sorry this happened to you and right before Christmas. I like your husband's attitude, and I hope things work out!
