I agreed to buy a Garmin device through Facebook Marketplace and after agreeing a price over Facebook Messenger, I initially made a payment to [removed] for £265 as 'paying for goods and services'. I then got a message to say that this would not clear his account for 21 days and he was not willing to proceed at which point he refunded the money and asked me to pay it to [removed] instead, saying this was his daughter's account. He also said I had to do so as 'friends and family' so that the payment would clear his account - I foolishly did this. This chat is saved on Messenger but has anyone else been scammed this way and have any advice on how best to bring these people to justice?
