I got an email from a guy telling me that he was selling 4 NIB Nintendo Wii's. I accepted and he told me i would be getting an invoice from yahoo with payment and Seller information. I then followed the steps in the invoice from yahoo(later i found out it was a fake email). I sent him my money and he picked it up. Then he sent me email stating I had to pay him another $240 dollars in shipping. So I declined and told him to refund me and he ceased communications with me. So I was wondering who should i get in contact with to get my money back?

The seller is not in the country

If any part of the transaction when through the US Post office, file a report with your local sheriff's office and then take the case number to the postal inspector. Don't count on getting your money back.

You can start with the local authorities. The person might have said they were outside the country, but they might be right next door.
