Sorry that it happened with you! That is totally horrible... I kept thinking that such lowlifes doing crimes like that do some stupid things when facing a pushback, so on the bright side the loss in only financial. You could have faced a lot of really bad outcomes had you decided to engage him. And I think that you should feel blessed in some sense that it ended the way it did.
This guy will get caught eventually!
P.S. I might suggest taking to the forum staff and tapatalk (if he used that) to get his IP addresses. There is a ton of metadata every user leaves while browsing, and while by itself it is harmless, it might add to the puzzle quite decently. If he used tapatalk, check for registration username/email at least. He might have posted with it on craiglist or smth like that and might have left clues on his address.
