Hi Ashley,
I put the details that Nord kindly supplied on another forum I belong to that was scammed pretty badly and a friend replied. He is a NSW police officer, and he told me to contact the Victoria police and inform them.
the text of his message is below:-

Hi guys,
Just read this thread.
Bendigo is in Victoria (I am in NSW - different state) and about 1000 KM's away from me. The ISP details and address are generic for Telstra but they will be able to track him from that. Telstra is also still part Federal Government owned I think
But here are the contact details for the Police down there.
Victoria Police - Contact Us
If you provide them with the information you have, then I am sure they would be more than happy to get this bloke.
We have a section in the NSW cops that looks into internet fraud so I am sure the Victorians do as well.
If you have any difficulties with the cops in Victoria just let me know and I will find direct contact details with someone and provide them to you.
If he turns out to be in NSW, then I would be more than happy to find a couple of NSW Detectives to pay him a visit.

I emailed them at
melbournewest.uni@police.vic.gov.au
and wondered if you could post something here about this, and ask the members here that were scammed to also contact the police in Victoria.
Cheers mate
Keith
