Default Help me I got Scammed!

This post is for the car I recently sold on here. It was a 92 Honda Civic Hatchback
Here's the link:
https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...d.php?t=219287
Please, I am seeking help... all useless post can be left elsewhere.
Any who.. here are the details.

I FUCKING GOT SCAMMED by a guy on here by the name of sp33d3r. Here are all his PM's
PM's By sp33d3r:
Willing to pay $5,500 for the hatch.. I just got my income tax check deposited into my parents bank account so ill write you a check for the car.. if its a big deal u keep the title till it clears if u dont trust me.. lmk man
Can you deliver to tampa and Ill drive you back to Orlando? I can meet you anywhere off the highway.. I4.. I have the check wrote out to you "Will Frometa" consider the car SOLD if its in the condition you state it is and running great. Do you have AIM or something like that?
Hey Will need to talk to you before you come meet me on AIM or ill call you if I dont reach you before 5 tomorroww afternoon (Sunday)
What had happen is that I went to St.Pete and I delivered the car to him. He told me he didn't have a home phone, so he would use pay phones to contact me. He gave me a check for 5,500 which was under his "mom's name." I didn't give him the title till the check cleared, which was prolly the only precaution I took during the transaction. The check bounce and now I'm totally fucked. He has my car now and or mabye its prolly in the chop shop by now. I just want somebody to try and help me with this situation.
There will be cash rewards for any tips, or leads on this guy... Let me give you some more info.
Name: "Chris"
AIM: GaNGStAKiLL3R
TR: sp33d3r
Address to which he told me was his home: 1207 Cherry St Ne
Saint Petersburg, FL 33701-1318
"Chris is 20-21 years old, he's from Iran and is about 5'8, brown eyes, light skinned and small build."
I already contacted St.pete police stolen vehicle's unit. With all the information I had. If anyone can find my car or this guy please PM me.
Email me at: c0Ltn5@yahoo.com
Or best thing to do is give me a call
407-925-9407
Remeber there is cash rewards for this. Please help me out. I so want to see him in jail for not only stealing my car but, also for the stolen check he stole from the lady he apparently told me was his mother.

Sucks, but it's your fault for not waiting until the check cleared. Should have requested a certified check and met him at the bank to cash it before handing over the keys.

DOnt bother posting a pic. This guy knew what he was doing. Most likely he sprayed it a diifrent color already or chopped it for parts. Im sorry for your loss. I hope you catch the guy. I will put the word out.
