Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

The legality of it all

I have purchased a HP laptop and have it fixed once but the second time the la[ptop was not returned. I wish to refer this to the FBI but the question is when does a scam become illegal and herefore within the jurisdiction and purview of the FBI. Thanks
