A flight from Canada to Italy is just over $1000 according to expedia.ca.
I want to spend at least a week there to pursue this, so add another $1000 for hotel room and $500 for food.
Extra funds will help with tools, such as a video/audio recording device, stungun (for self defense of course in case someone tries robbing me, right? read between the lines if you wish), etc... but If I can't raise them I will buy them myself, but I don't think I will need over $2500. Every bit extra will help (if I do raise more before I book my flight, I will extend my stay which may increase the effectiveness of the pursuit).

Any funds I don't use will be returned.
You honestly think people who just got scammed are going to pay you thousands of US dollars to go video tape yourself stungunning the supposed scammer?
Good luck with that.
