I actually disagree with this - in theory you're right but if you think about it from the approach that doing nothing encourages this activity repeatedly then you're probably incorrect.
For instance there are literally 1000's of people who have been hit by the company I posted, now each is only affected by say $20 at a time but it mounts up - especially if the scam has been running over several years.
Surely wrapping something like that up from a legal perspective wouldn't take particularly long or cost $x00,000 considering the amount of evidence available to the banks?
Its a bit like being bullied at school, if you let them get away with it then they continue to do it AND other bullies will start picking on you - if you stand up for yourself it might take a bit of effort and a bruising initially, but in the long term it works out best.
