What can I do if I've been Scammed on CRAIGSLIST?

Hi, Im from Los Angeles, CA... Recently I did a craigslist "trade" with a guy from Canada... I sent him my XBOX 360 Console for his 8GB iphone... I Sent the console and it has been 20 days and I have not received the iPhone nor is he answering my emails... Can I file charges or anything or am I basically screwed since it is a cross-border thing??? Please help ppl

3. Sorry, but the police rarely even get involved in scams like this on eBay when both parties are inside the US borders and there's proof of a transaction. Trust no one, especially outside the borders of our laws. Get the money first. Pay with your credit card so you can file a chargeback if need be. Never use Western Union to deal with strangers.
