I mistakenly made a wire transfer (through swift) to an online scammer. I then asked my bank to issue a recall, which didn't work. Then I let them issue a fraudulent recall, now the receiver says the fund is put on hold. What does that mean? What now?

2Did you tell the recipient you were trying to reverse the transfer? If you told him, he might lie and say the funds were taken back, because if you think your recall worked, you'll stop trying. – Ben Voigt Feb 22 '19 at 6:21

Yes, I told them I recalled. Now what should I do? – fluter Feb 22 '19 at 6:46

9Trust your bank for status information. Don't trust anything the scammer says. – Ben Voigt Feb 22 '19 at 6:48

If the funds is put on hold, what should I do? Is there anyway to reverse it back? – fluter Feb 22 '19 at 7:57

1How much was the wire, and what are the source and destination countries? – TTT Feb 22 '19 at 19:07

It means you shouldn't trust people who have scammed you.
What now?
Stop communicating with the scammer.
Work with your bank and your local police
