email scam

I was scammed for a very large amount of money and feel like an idiot because I knew better.  
But was in a big hurry and fell for it.  Of course my bank says they weren't at fault so I just lost alot of money because of a stupid email.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do?  I reported to FBI and local authorities but still nothing.

Re: email scam

Hi @CMCCREADY 

We regret for the inconvenience!

Phishing is an online form of identity theft. It is a method of fraudulently obtaining personal information by sending fake emails to unsuspecting recipients that look like they come from trusted sources (such as banks or legitimate companies). The personal information targeted by phishing generally includes passwords, social security numbers, and credit card details. Kindly refer the below article for more details regarding email scam.
