Default Please Help

I stay in South Africa and I am a victim to an international lottery scam and apparently lost around R80 000, even if I have their banking details and phone numbers, is it possible to track these mofos down? Also I still have the receipt of the money transfer so I more or less still have the track of time that they received the money. These people work in groups because they have many other references, but apparently here are the details I got. These people are from Hong Kong.

Contact Numbers: (If you want to dial replace the + with 00)

Foo Dah International Company (幅達國際公司): Tel: +852 3187 5610, Cell phone number of one of the scammers that I kept in contact, apparently the number still works: Shin Hwei, Wong (王心惠) +852 6552 0762
Hwa Yi Office (華裔事務所): Tel: +852 3019 8292, Fax: +852 3019 7829
Hong Kong Horse Racing Association (香港馬會): Tel: +852 30198131

Their Banking Details:

Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited
Address: 1/F Sino Cheer Plaza, 23-29 Jordan Road, Kowloon
Name: Chih Wei, Tsai
Banking Number: 0125 811 0132 859
Swift Address: BKCH, HKHH



Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited.
Address: G/F & 1/F Ming Fong Manfion 564 Nathan Road, Kowloon
Name: Zong Ming, Liou
Banking Number: 4052 1706 637
Swift Address: SCBL, HKHH



Please help me with any information or anything to take these mofos down so that nobody else will be a victim like me!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You

Exclamation it happened to me

i fell for a scam and lost $3400 and the fbi wouldnt do anything about it. if it goes out of you country there is nothing you can do. it doesnt matter if you have all the info and stuff. i did too. i still owe the money to my bank and will probably not be able to pay it off please take care. 99.9% of any offers on the internet is a scam. you can usually google names and information about the people and it will show if others have been scammed by them.

Apparently they called my house phone , so there's nothing I could do even if I have some connections to lawyers at the country (Hong Kong)?

Hmmmm.... They didn't call me during our sleeping hour even though there's a 6 hour time difference... and due to currency they scammed me $11500.

They were so good that they even time calls like if there was other customers, but I was a bit naive to notice the holes within the conversations because after I start thinking things over from the start, I really missed a lot of details that are suspicious, but it was all too late after I realized them.

That's why every call I get I try to reel them so that there'll be no more victims from them, but there are millions more doing this.... The current one I'm contacting has to do with something in South Africa so if I find a way to track the number down or get their address, maybe I could do something about it since I'm recording the conversations, but don't know if it'll be enough to act as an evidence.

Me too....they would've scammed me another R77744 (more or less $11000), and there's nothing we could do about it since we normal citizens don't have much rights to get warrants that can get us over there.
