I think I got ripped off, what should I do?

So 4 days ago, on the 4th, I was contacted by Rockstar, who runs http://gallery-service.com.

He said his g/f got into an accident and he needed 200 dollars as fast as possible. He said he would do 30 days of submissions, template designs, host the shit & provide content if I helped him out with this problem.

I said it sounds too good to be true, and if his system works, why does'nt he just use his own method so much that he's got lots of cash for situations like this. His reply was that he has plenty of money, he just does'nt have "access" to it in time for this emergency.

So, feeling like it was a pretty good offer, and he needed the money more than me, I decided to help him out.

Then, I get this shit:

Hybrid 6/5/03 6:56 PM you do realize this is getting kind of odd, don't you?

Rockstar 6/5/03 11:11 PM 4 a minute my hand is killing me

Hybrid 6/8/03 8:35 AM hello?

Hybrid 6/8/03 10:08 AM I know you're fucking there, someone just posted that you were contacting them to get money from them too

Hybrid 6/8/03 10:08 AM It's been 4 days. 4!!! Do you realize how fucked up this is?

Still NO answer, I've even called him. I'm thinking about calling the police department where he lives and filing a report, but I don't know what that will accomplish.

Any advice?
