Having lived in the Columbus area at one time (for 10 years) I can tell you that having his EXACT address (or PO Box) will be important to finding out which Police Department to call. The City of Gahanna is different than Columbus, which is different than the unincorporated areas of Franklin County (That one's the Sheriff.) That part of town has a multiple number of departments covering it.
Couple of things to think about. How did you pay him? Paypal? Make a claim and have your money back, almost right away. Check, sent by mail? You may be able to get the Post Office involved, especially if he's using a PO Box to perpetrate a fraud. Make sure you save and print out any email correspondence you have from him.
If you have a street address, I may have the correct Police number here. Let me know.
