I think I posted this in the wrong forum before, so I'll try again.
I won an dutch auction on ebay and found out to my chagrin that it was a scam, and that many others were similarly taken. The total amount he got was over $10000 from 50 + people. I am in the state of NY and the perpetrator is in WV. I'm about to file charges with the Postal Inspectors office (as I sent my check through the mail), the FBI Anti-Internet Crime Office, and the WV State Attorney Generals office. My question has two parts. 1) While my main concern is getting my $2000 back, I'd like to make sure he doesn't do this again anytime soon. What exactly can I expect to come out of this? 2) I did contact the perpetrator and alert him that I would soon be filing if he didn't return my money. He basically said he was getting around to it, and that he would as soon as possible. (It's already been 2 months). If I file, and he does return my money after I file, what happens? Thanks.
