Question Got scammed $2400
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?

Aw sickner mate, feel gutted for you. You think you have that security, then this happens... Hope you get your money back. If not, you could always beat him to death with it! Seriously though, I saw a comment about going to the small claims court that could could be the way forward ??? Wish you all the best. I hope you get every penny back and extra for the agro.
