Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Computer sales fraud
A friend was solicited to buy several computers for $250 ea.,in advance. He got the computers. He then was offered this same deal again. He solicited all his friends, 67 people said yes, and gave him the money in advance ($16,750). You guessed it, no computers and no money. He had all parties involved sign a statement that we all understood the risk. All signed. The supposed supplier is in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. One individual got very angry (I suspect most are)and harrased him until they gave back that persons money. The rest of us seem to be out of luck. Questions : What is the best course of action? Did we truely give up any rights by signing the statement of risk? Did the return of one individuals money and not the others set some sort of precedence? The organizer has not been forthcoming with any info, should we take legal action against him? Legal action against his "supplier"? We don't know who the supplier is.

Re: Computer sales fraud

File a police report then sue the person you gave the money to.
