Seller on Grailed took $600 for a necklace and never sent it

I saw this buyer on Grailed in April of this year, and on April 18 and April 17, 2024, I sent him $100 and $500 using zelle and Don to trade a wallet branded ERD, His zelle information is JOSEPH [email protected], the reason for trust is that he has a photo on secondordervanity, seems to be a semi-public figure, and the payment information is the same as the photo name searched on the Internet and the information on social software. The wallet was also successfully obtained through usps. So later, when I saw him selling a necklace of the same brand on grailed, I contacted him on IG and said I wanted to buy the necklace. He said $600 would be a deal. After he confirmed with me that my address had not changed, I sent $600 to him via zelle (same zelle account). I lost a total of $600. He replied to my message on May 28 and asked me if I could offer 700. I refused, saying that I didn't want to buy this thing anymore, and asked him to return the money to me. Then he asked me on May 29th if I could offer 650, and I also refused, and I reiterated that I did not want to buy the item, and asked him to return the money to me. He replied to my message on May 30 and said that he had sent me the item, but did not give me the tracking number (in the first purchase of the wallet, he sent me the tracking number immediately after mailing the item, According to the receipt he took of me, it was sent from 2273 Church Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11226.) Because I told him many times that I didn't want to buy this item, but he kept ignoring it, so I sent him several messages every day that I wanted to talk to him. Trying to give it back to him and get my money back. He didn't reply to my message until June 1st, and said that he was busy, he thought he gave me a good price, and the things had been sent, and he didn't want to return the money to me. Then just when I texted him every day but he never responded and found out on June 6th that he posted stories but never responded to my messages, I emailed him at [email protected] because I didn't get anything in the meantime and he didn't reply to any of my messages and I didn't have a tracking number of items. I told him I'd call the police if he kept it up, and that's when I began to suspect he was a fraudster. He finally replied to my message on June 7, before which I had reported to the bank that I had suffered money fraud. But because he happened to reply to my message, I didn't call the police. The message he responded to probably meant that he thought I was threatening and scamming him because he shipped something, which I said I didn't receive (and I didn't). Then I explained to him that maybe it was the post office, and I didn't report it to the police, and I wanted to track the tracking number to see if he really sent my stuff, so there was a misunderstanding between me and him. On the same day, he said that he understood my meaning and went back to the post office to investigate, but still did not give me a tracking number. And then he disappeared again, so I sent him a few messages. It wasn't until June 12th that he replied and threatened me, in the following words: I was alerted by my bank that you reported the transaction for fraud which makes this a scam and you a scammer. Luckily I have contacts at (my school)... I can’t wait to see how far up they go.. you want to ***** me over?? you have no clue. Since then, no messages have been returned to me, and until now I have not received my items. In the meantime, I've been checking mailbox and mailroom repeatedly, almost every day, but I haven't received anything. I went to the police station on June 17th to try to report the matter to the police. The police station told me that I should seek the help of the ftc, but the ftc said that I should seek your help. I am in the USA.
