Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Georgia

Seller is lying about reciving money.

Okay so I purchased concert tickets for $200 and paid cash on sight. Now the seller is texting, emailing, and calling me claiming I never paid him. He says unless I pay him $200 he will be filling charges. I don't want to fork this crook over another $200 but I don't want this to turn into a battle because I paid with cash. What should I do? Does he have any credibility? I have no proof I paid him besides an ATM transaction. I also wanted to file a report on him but I don't know where he lives or even his last name. He also has now states he will be filling a civil suit in small claims court. What should I do?

You should do nothing, other than stop communicating with him. The more you go back and forth the more he thinks he has you on the hook (and it seems he might be right). Hopefully the tickets are legitimate. You don't have a problem until he actually tries to take some action.

Scott is absolutely correct

Do nothing until he does something; then you can decide what to do

For now, stop communicating with him!
