I am very sorry that you were taken advantage of.
It is a rule of the forums that "professionals" are not to contact people and solicit to them. It is a good rule of thumb that if a professional of any kind (agency, searcher, attorney, etc.) is breaking the forum rules, they are probably not very reputable.
If anyone is contacted in such a manner, by private message or email, administration can only protect you if we know about it. It is important to make a moderator or administrator aware of such communications so we can investigate and most likley remove the offender.
If you have any information regarding this searcher, it would be good to send it to myself or a moderator so we can at least stop them from doing it again.
Again, my heart goes out to you for the false hopes that were built up and for the financial loss as well. I cannot do anything to restore those things to you, but with your help, I can stop it from happening to others.
