More details to this question:
The other evening I was swindled over the phone for money when someone was lying about their identity. This lady was pretending to be someone that was a friend of mine to the extent and I asked her several time to make sure who she was and still swindled money from me which was never spent on what it's supposed to at all.

If you can identify who took the money, you can sue for fraudulent representation, among other things. The real problems will be identifying the person who took the money, and then collecting any judgment from them. If money was spent by credit card, you can have the credit card company reverse the charges, if you act promptly.
