A few hundred dollars, just as a lesson.
It's no use calling the police,
If it is fraud, the police will accept it after calling the police. As for whether the other party constitutes a crime, the police will draw a conclusion based on the investigation results. Of course, if the other party only cheats you a few hundred dollars, it does not constitute fraud, but it should also be punished by the public security.
As for the property you were cheated, you can claim it through criminal incidental civil action. If it does not constitute a crime, you can ask for a refund through litigation.
