A: It appears that you have done as much on your own as you can. I recommend that you assemble copies of all of your e-mails, texts, and sale documentation together with anything else in writing that you may have concerning this transaction. Then take these materials to a litigation attorney as soon as possible. This is a most serious matter and you need to pursue collection of your sales proceeds quickly or they may be lost. The fact that this individual is not returning your calls is of concern. This needs to be investigated. A lawsuit may need to be filed.
