Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey

I think i'm in a problem.

The online shop sells tickets, and Travel Agency redeem the tickets to get paid by the online shop. and There's a seller who sells travel tickets cheaper than online price.

The seller says he can sell cheaper price because he buy those tickets with gift card and credits. So the seller purchased tickets from online shop and sold them to me at a cheaper price. I paid via Paypal and seller never did scam do me.... so far...

So I tried to use the tickets by calling travel agency where the actual tickets can be used.

I didn't use my name or info because I was booking for somebody else. (first mistake?)

I thought I was getting quote first for someone else, so I thought my info were irrelevant.

Travel agency found that tickets were purchased by stolen credit card.

and they told me that they will take legal actions.

I told the Travel Agency I bought vouchers from someone else.

But they don't believe me because they now know I didn't use my info to book a trip.

Now Travel Agency know my name, email, phone number.

I called the Online Shop where the seller bought tickets for me.

The Online shop doesn't reveal information because I'm not the original purchaser.

But Luckily Online shop told me, the purchase was not used by gift card or credits.

So I assume the seller may have used Stolen Credit Card, or at least lied to me.

I contacted to Seller and told what happened

but seller kept saying there's error because the seller uses multiple accounts that is againt the policy. That's why the purchase was called fraud.

Anyway I asked money back, and he did.

So I haven't got any damage. Also Travel Agency didn't get damage except times and efforts to make reservation for me.

The Online Shop that found the purchase made by seller was not also damaged because they cancelled purchase and invalidated the ticket.

So the actually scammer, the seller, may need to be reported.

But I'm not sure if Online Shop already filed a report on the seller.

(I think the Seller have used fake accounts to use stolen Credit card)

Since Travel Agency told me that they will report to Police.

Now I'm so worried.

Should I call Police to find out if I'm on the report ?

I don't know if Travel Agency already file a report to Police or not,

How long does it take to get called by Police ?

I never had a criminal record, but I feel like I'm part of this fraud.

My situation is quite complicated.

My visa expires soon, so I have to leave country in a month.

And I purchased airline ticket (through official airline site) to leave to in 5 days.

Should I cancel my trip to avoid that I may look like suspiciously running away ?

This happened this week, so I don't know what to do.

What should I do first ?

I need help..
