ok i know youre in japan - but you can still contact the BBB in oregon via email to get them to investigate. make sure you keep every single email both that they sent to you and that you sent to them to prove your correspondence, even the things you sent that they havent answered. if you make phone calls, get copies of your phone records to prove you called them.

i'm pretty sure that stealing $10K has got to be felony larceny or something like that.

i honestly think you should contact oregon law enforcement officials (and i dont mean local law enforcement, i mean federal)

Maura is right, go federal...I did some digging and the FBI says if you are out of the U.S. to contact the nearest embassy. This should be yours:

Tokyo, Japan
American Embassy: 011-81-3-3224-5000

OMG! I am so sorry that this is happening to you.

I don't have much advice, but I think it's awesome that Maura and StarChild were able to get those contacts for you.

If they are advertising via facebook, you shoudl let someone at facebook know that they took your money and ran...maybe they'll ban them or something so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
