If you have been a victim of fraud in a foreign country, it might be a good idea to contact an attorney that specializes in fraud cases. It could be possible to sue such individuals especially if they are working with an agent or representative that does business in the US. Even if the crime occurred overseas it is possible to get a civil judgment against such criminals and collect some money from them.

1. Is it Possible to Recover Funds Lost to Foreign Con
Artists?
It is possible to hold accountable foreign artists that rip off US businesses and
recover money they steal--by suing them in a US court. Such a lawsuit is totally
legal, even though you may not recover all, or any, of you money.
The drawback to suing foreign con artists is that you may not be able to collect
money from them in a U.S. lawsuit. But, you could be able to garnish or seize
some funds or assets they may have in the U.S. You probably will not be able to
get all funds that they have in US banks or property they own in the United
States.
But it is possible to sue foreign con artists that commit crimes against Americans
in foreign countries. For example, New York attorney Howard Fensterman sued
in a Florida court a group of residents of the UAE who lured a batch of American
investors to that country to start an insurance company. He alleged that the
residents of Abu Dhabi had stolen the $18 million the investors were required to
put up.
Such lawsuits may not stop fraud but they can hold such people accountable.
They do publicize their activities and expose their crimes. They can also make it
hard or impossible for such crooks to enter the US. If they come to the US, they
can be served and sued.
