Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

I have recently been scamed from a man with a dealers license. I gave him money to buy me a car at the auction and he stole the money. He wrote me a check for 6,429 for the amount i gave him as a receipt to me. IT bounced along with another check he deposited into my account. The state attorneys office said they can do nothing due to the way the checks were written and deposited. Help, I don't know how to get my money back!

Without seeing the checks (and why the state attorney's office declined to prosecute) I can't tell you whether you have a valid case or not. But it sounds like you do. You should consult with an attorney.

File a small claims suit for return of your money. The judge will sort it out.
