QLD How can I get the bank to release the scammers details so that I could sue them?

[NeedHelp77]

I lost $60,000 to online scammers. They transferred $60,000 from my account to theirs over a few transactions.
I have their name and Pay ID, as well as their Bank Account details.

I searched on google and found out (but I could be wrong) that I could apply to the Court to get an order for the bank to release and give me the account holder details. Once I get their details, I could then apply to the court etc.

Do you know which form I must use to apply to the court and get an order for the bank to release the scammers contact details? mainly the address I am after.

Thank you

Hi, as that is a procedural question, if you contact the court they should help you as to how to go about and or which form. But I would have thought that what you are seeking is in the nature of preliminary discovery, to get information to enable to sue someone.

Ask the court how to do it and then let the court decice if it is allowable. Good luck.
