100 pounds actually
2 month ago i was asked to put eastern European property for sale on a website
i paid 100 quid, and the ad actually appeared.
in 2 month NOONE contacted me.
A week ago i sent 2 messages using a random name and a different email to myself.
I did not receive any replies on my email i used with the ad!
So i emailed few days the company and explained it to them and received no reply.
What can i do? Im thinking of going to the bank and simply saying i was ripped off and can i get my money back

The only thing you can do is file a report with the p'lice. The bank isn't going to give your money back as the actual transaction was not illegal.

You will never see that money again IMO.
I doubt the cops will have the time to investigate for 100 pounds...
stay away from the scams!

They might if several reports are filed on the same shady business. That would be the only reason to file one, not because you expect your cash back. Cause as you pointed out: he won't. Ever.
Unless you travel to eastern Europe with a shitload of guns and blast 'em all to smithereens, of course. Triple-X style.

I would go pay them a visit. If they don't refund your money, burn their place to the ground. I'd call that even.

Do they really, or do they just say they do? Anyway, that's for the cops to find out. I wouldn't put too much effort in this. Just accept the loss of a hundred quid and be warned the next time some shady bastard turns up with a plan which involves you spending money and not getting anything in return for it.

It could have been worse. I lost 700 bucks trusting someone to pay it back. Boy am I a fucking idiot. Never lend money or front anything to anyone for any reason. People are dicks.

When you try to go to the bank to do this pretend like its identity theft and that got ripped like that.
It makes it easier for you and the bank because the banks insurance is quick to cover identity theft. There could be extra hoops to jump through if you say you were involved in the problem.

I had someone steal $800 on ebay for a turbo kit they were selling. I sent the money order and waited and waited...I started calling the guy around the 2 week mark just to see when it would get here, he kept saying he's sending it in a few days...long story short, it was around the 2 month mark that he finally told me I wasn't getting it and called me a bitch. I know his name, and if I ever happen to meet him IRL (not likely, but here's hopin) he's got some 'splainin to do to some blunt objects.

So you are trying to sell the property that you own?
Why pay for an ad when you can list for free on ebay, right move, property.com, gumtree etc etc ? I don't get it?
What payment method did you use? credit cards are insured, paypal you can claim it back.
Worst comes to worst I have a private investigator that will track down the owner if you wanna go punch your refund out of him lol.
