Alright so a friend and I were looking for tickets for the Flames vs Kings game on April 9th. We saw an ad selling two tickets for relatively good prices.
My friend contacted the seller and we agreed to purchase the tickets. They weren't hard copy but at the time we didn't really think anything of it since we usually go to games and hardly have hard copies on hand.
The guy was going by a different man's name and was using an email address which had a domain that belonged to the real estate company the man works for.
We made the money transfer, got our tickets and were extremely happy to be going to the game. I talked to another friend of mine the next day who was a little skeptical. He went to Whois and searched the domain and we discovered that the email address was only set up the day before. We called the Calgary Flames and they confirmed that the tickets were fake.
I got in touch with the guy whose name was being used and told him what was going on. He was extremely p***** off as you could imagine, and he contacted the police. I filed a report with the police that same day.
A few days ago my friend sent me a link to a Global report, and I am 100% sure this is the guy that scammed us. The name 'Kelley' and the domain he was using for his email address in the video are the same ones that contacted my friend and exchanged the tickets with.

If you scroll down, there's a video of the two guys who also got scammed confronting the POS. My friend told me that the suspect has apparently been arrested (according to the Facebook status of one of the gentlemen who confronted the suspect)
So my question is: now that they've apparently arrested this lowlife SOB, what do my friend and I do? We would really like to get our money back. This is the first time I've filed a police report, so I am unsure of what steps to take.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
