How did you send the money in?

If you sent a check, then the money could be traced to give you a target for a criminal complaint, if not a lawsuit.
If you wired the money (Western Union, Moneygram) then that was cash that you gave away to a stranger who promised you something. That's harder to trace.
Hopefully, you have filed with FTC (online) and local law enforcement. If enough complaints are made, they will act on it. Search for "Sundip Dhanda FBI" via google and you can read about one of these guys that was caught.
In your shoes, I'd try to get a pro-bono lawyer to go after Western Union.
