Monkey child
I used to be a police officer before retiring 12 months ago, and was involved in the recording and allocation of all crimes.
It is not rubbish that police don't investigate minor fraud, the police will tell you that they take fraud seriously bla bla , but in reality yiur home force will direct you to fraud action, who will take all your details, and in reality do very little.
If yiur bank account is hacked or there is fraud on your account, the police will direct you to the bank, then it's their onus to report to the police, which they rarely do.
Not enough police to go round now I'm afraid, so the government have started to use smoke and mirrors to make you believe the police can cope.

Glad stw has decided they are both eastern european and Nigerian and the same time

Pretty good chance it's one or the other though?

Living in a HMO in a area populated by immigrants?

Not saying it's definite just the odds are stacked.

That password checker is handy, one p/word I use came up as 6 years, another 42 years. I do tend to use long, unusual words/names with caps/alphanumerics.

If nothing else it certainly would help build up your own personal dictionary of passwords for future hacking

If you can find his facebook account, (not sure if you have his email to search that way) you can message his friends and family explaining the situation~ say you'd prefer not to get the police involved etc to increase the pressure.

I did that once when a guy diddled me out of £500 for a bike that hadn't turned up in 6 weeks. Arrived within 48 hrs!!

Funnily enough, the police already were involved, but once it arrived I gave them a ring and they were impressed by my resourceful approach.

From a crime perspective it's unlikely a reported crime like this is the first one the perp has been involved in. I'm not Sherlock but Sheerlogic suggests it.

Plus Dominoes for pizza - really? He obviously hasn't read the dough recipes on here.

No need to build your own when they are in the public domain.

Would the police take an interest in the crime if you said "I know who defrauded me, I'm going round there with some mates"?

That was what I suggested. Tell the Police your mates are Lithuanian.
