I applaud your efforts and desires to get back your goods and or money, however, if they have already been delivered, your chances are very slim of ever seeing it again.
As Lightfair points out, these scammers are no amateurs. They counted on your accepting the promise of a great deal. You fell for it just like I did many years ago. That's why I developed this site. I found that it was futile to try and get my computer (which is what I sold/lost) back. So I used my skills to develop the website and get the word out.
All that being said, I still recommend that you notify the police and any other authority that you can to make them aware of the incident(s).
These scammers know their sites won't be up long. If they last more than a week, then they are doing good. So the sooner we make more people aware and notify the hosters, the sooner they get shut down. So another thing I urge you to do is pass the word about these types of scams. Encourage people to look for information about the sites to which they are potentially about to do business with. If you (or anyone else) has doubts, concerns or questions, ask them here. We have become quite good at identifying fraud sites of this nature. We have also become quite good at getting them shut down.
