I will say anyone who has paid using any type of wire transfer needs to contact HSBC and their bank immediately and report a fraud case. This is how I got my money back.
I had Simon calling me literally 5 times a day because HSBC had him by the balls and would not release any of his funds until I gave the all clear on my end.
It was pretty entertaining to say the least. On a serious note I want to say that i am very sorry to hear that he is still not honoring his word and helping you guys. When I finally got his account off lockdown for him he asked how he could compensate me. I told him to take care of his customers... I guess he is failing.
