I was scammed by an investor who took $17,500 from me. He created a fake account showing daily progress in a binary investment company. When it was time to receive my payout, he insisted on upfront commissions. I paid him $17,500, but he never released my payout and has since gone missing. I reported this to the FTC. Can I deduct any of these losses on my taxes, and what documentation do I need to provide for this deduction?
