A: It's really unclear what happened from your question. Did you send money or was he supposed to receive a product? Have you made any efforts to straighten the situation out? Do you think you were swindled or could it simply be a mistake? If you were swindled, if the person had no intention of transferring the money or providing the product or service, it could be a criminal issue. If it is more of mistake sort of situation, it would be civil.
