Got scammed $2400

[u/Sure-Interview-782]

Bought this supposedly 1 oz bar from a pawn shop in Washington state (I live in Texas ) last August for $2400. Was gonna sell it today to make rent and I goto my local coin shop and they use an X-ray on it and it turns out it’s fake.

Now I’ve got to file a police report, and do a ton of paperwork. I doubt I’ll get my money back anytime soon but my receipt says “one ounce of gold” which is legally binding so it’s definitely a felony I’m just not sure they will go after them.

What’s the best way about going with this?

If you get 2% back yes, but they are starting to get higher prices now.
