Almost all scammers believe that, that's why there is a law against this.CZ_Rage said:Exactely. And if the counterpart is a Limited (which isn´t that hard to be founded nowadays) there is no personal risk involved even IF you sue them and IF you prove they screwed up and IF you win at court.

Your only chance would be that you prove it was a scam from the beginning, and that´s almost impossible.
lifting the corporate veil [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil] is a legal action that a court can use to look beyond the legal fiction of a corporation, and recognize that it is practically an alter ego for it's (main) shareholder, whenever certain common sense conditions are met (Siphoning of corporate funds for personal use, Non-functioning corporate officers, etc).
