So I finished my contract in mid June, went down to the local pension office a few weeks before and filled out all of my paperwork. The d00d said the money'd arrive about a month later.

Two months later, after it didn't come, I had a friend in Korea call and ask about it. "Oh, we sent it late, but it should be there any day."

Three months later my friend called again. "We sent it a while ago. It should be there." It isn't. When asked to give a transaction number for the transfer they stonewalled and never called my friend back to give an answer.

Did I get ripped off, or is this some sort of bureaucratic snafu, might my bank just be taking a really long time to process it? etc etc. What should I do?

Sounds like a SNAFU..... It is possible that it was sent to the wrong account somewhere... get on it and track it down.
