Josh K.I think you should send another email and let him know that you will be contacting the authorities, put the phrase "wire fraud" somewhere in the email for good measure. you might also consider a small claim action if you have an address - usually costs about $50 to file and your time, but due to the relatively small amount and the need to travel, its probably not worth your efforts (though some states have laws for unfair and deceptive practices that provide for the recovery of triple your damages and attroneys fees - so it may be possible to find a local attorney willing to handle the matter).
