The series of events seems slightly fishy, but I do know of a few people who have been made whole following a scam. Some digging and the right type of pressure can go a long way.
Kat, not saying you are wrong, but it is very common for these type of low-lifes to use a middleman. They are most likely feeding them a completely different story about where the money came from, and why they are getting a small cut for their assistance.
