This morning I tried to check the shipping statues and found out the web site no longer exists.
I have called the bank and the transfer has not yet been taken by the bastards.
Went to the police but they said wait a few days, if your product doesn't arrive, then file a complaint.

What should I do?

CANCEL THE TRANSFER IMMEDIATELY!!!!

The site is a scam. Regardless of the cost to cancel, it will be well worht it. Also feel free to provide all the details about the scammer (email address, mailing address, account numbers, etc...) as it may be helpful for others to avoid this scammer as well as help those who try to track these scammers.

Mr. Richard Smith has just sent me an email telling me that all I have to do is wait 3-5 days for my product to arrive.
Both you and I know... it will never arrive!
What do I do now? Do I send him a nasty email or play along with him and see how far he takes it?

As peg said: Raise hell with your bank! If they require something like a police report before they are willing to do anything you need to go to the police again. Don't let them turn you away; insist on filing that report and get a copy for your bank. Then have your bank fax it to the receiving bank.

royal-delivery-express.eu was part of this series:

As you can see we currently have 138 entries for this particular site design. This is organized crime; and tell the police that there is no use at all to wait any longer. It's a well-known scam.

The fake site no longer exists because the web host "pulled the plug" on it immediately once he was made aware of it.
