Stolen Friend Profile Used in Scam, I Wired $1900

At approx 0715 I was logged in to Fb when I got a chat message from a Robert Perry. Being that Mr. Perry and I are long-time friends, I replied to him. He then began telling me that he had had a terrible night because he and his wife had been robbed at gunpoint and everything had been stolen from them. He asked me if I could wire him some money ($600) to settle his hotel bill because his plane was leaving in a couple of hours.

To make a long story short, after I gave this individual a total of $1900, he came with yet another story: that he had missed the plane and needed $1800 more. At this point I realized I had been scammed. Later information from the real Robert Perry revealed that his profile had been stolen, which made me wonder: if his profile had been stolen and reported, how was this individual still roaming around Facebook preying on innocent victims?

I would like your assistance in this matter so that this does not happen to anyone else who is merely on the site for fun and friendly interaction with their friends.

The $2486 is: I wired $600, and the cost of wiring was $50.00. The next was $1300.00, and it cost $93.00 to wire it. Also the $ 13000 $93.00 came out of my credit card at 23.99% interest.
