It's one thing to try and find the cheapest air fair, but trying to get airline tickets through fraud is nothing less than being greedy.I am sorry it was not the greed but the exorbitant prices of the airlines that drove me to look for other options. My travel was necessary and I did not have the money to pay that much. For the bank, wont it register a legitimate address when opening a business account and check the necessary identification.
I suspect that you don't have enough information to ID your defendant. It's still not clear to me how you sent this person money. Did you wire them money from your account to their account, using their bank routing number and account number? You said that you somehow checked with the bank and that the account that your money went into is in an individuals name, not in the name of a company. How did you get that information from the bank? You need to know who your defendant is. Is it an individual or a company, or both?
The bank doesn't have to keep a current address for their account holder. With a proper subpoena you might be able to get some useful information from the bank. You might get lucky, but you're not necessarily going to get the current address of the account holder. If you think it's easy to find someone who doesn't want to be found, then you have never done any kind of skip tracing. You're description of the transaction has all the earmarks of someone who is knowingly perpetrating fraud. It sounds like you got conned. You might be able to find them. But I wouldn't take that bet.
