Florida Attorney General's Response

I have complained to many departments and so far the Florida Attorney General's office responded to my complaint. I am still waiting on the FTC and the Attorney General of Chicago to get back to me. They recommended that I contact the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as well as the Internet Crime Complaint Center, which I definately will be. As soon as I get more responses I will let everyone know. Good Luck to All!!!

Finally, you may wish to consider consulting an attorney to learn of any
private remedies that may be available to you. An attorney can give you
the legal advice which our office is precluded by law from giving to
private individuals. The Florida Bar offers a Lawyer Referral Service

an attorney, you may be eligible for low cost or pro bono assistance
through a local legal aid office. The Florida Bar can assist you with
this process.
