Accepted Answer

Thanks for your response.

In essence, this man stole your money. Go to your local police station and explain the facts of the situation, and they will decide on the charge. Any way you look at it, this man deceived you out of money and has therefore perpetrated a criminal act.

If the prosecutor refuses to prosecute for some reason, you could also think about filing a civil suit against this man alleging his fraud and asking to be reimbursed for the money that he "stole" from you.

Hope this helps,
