Here goes my story...
I saw an adv for a game on craigslist and decided to buy it. The order went through fine. Since the phone was priced ridiculously low, i decided to buy 30+ units. I sent the seller about $2500 and sure enough, he send me the games.
Then he sends me an email saying that he has about 100 units left and we decided on a price of $7500. When the package was dropped off, he send a bunch of old books. When I contacted him, he said it was a mistake and was supposed to ship the games. Meanwhile, he cashed the $7500 cashiers check.
Now, for the past two weeks, he's been playing around, cooking up stories... He seems to be afraid when I said I will prosecute him criminally....
Do I have any recourse? Where can I file a complaint? Thanks for any help!

Contact your local police department and report this crime. They will be in position to tell you whether they or the FBI can investigate the crime. If this guy took you for $7500, then you can be sure he's done this before and will do it again. Print out all your e-mails, receipts, et cetera and make copies for the police. Do not delay pursuing this guy criminally as quickly and harshly as you can.

Like all crimes, you go down to the nearest police station and the take a report and point you in the right direction. Using IP addresses and so forth they should be able to locate him, the fact he's kept in contact with messages etc should hlp you, also the bank account he cashed the cheque will be a lead.
