No there is nothing you can do.  You sent irreversible currency to a con-man.  It is gone.  A hard lesson to learn but always make sure you are sending money to the right person.

so fucking gutted.  3.4 BTC is lot and its a new business start up as well.  I obviously thought it was the right person.  I'm surprised someone was able to register a username that similar and contact bidders of the advertising auction unnoticed - This shit needs policing

You did not notice that the account had like no posts?

No i didn't.  I guess with so much going on with the new business launch i overlooked it.  Maybe if they made the auction bids private it could prevent anything like this from happening again.  My BTC is gone, i now don't want this happening again to anyone else.  I have learnt my lesson from this mistake but maybe the forum could improve the procedure of acquiring advertising to prevent other people from getting burnt
