I've played along with 4 watch seller scammers who all eventually provided me with their bank wire transfer instructions. My question is can the bank and local authorites be notified of the scam attempt and take action against the attempted or succesful wire fraud transaction. I would think that you need to open these accounts with proof of identity (real or fake) which is a crime if used for a scam. I wouldn't dare setup a fake bank account with the intention of committing fraud but obviously people do it all the time without concern of getting caught. It shouldnt be that easy to do.

Unfortunately it happens all the time, there are so many loopholes in the system, and law enforcement couldnt care less (anywhere in the world)

They will just tell you that there was no crime. Yet.

If you have a bank account number, can't they track who it belongs to?
