Angry I've been scammed !!!

Buyers be aware there is a scammer on gumtree advertising AU Fairlane parts for sale.
I transferred $95 into this persons account for an au fairlane headlight which included postage with tracking.
After a week i'd heard nothing so tried ringing him but his phone was turned off, since then i've sent countless sms, emails through gum tree and phone calls but nothing.
There is 25 ads by this f_____ar__hole, he is also on other sites so beware
I rang an address which is on one of his ads which is a museum/gallery in NSW the lady i spoke to new nothing about car parts for sale on gumtree.
since then my daughter who is more computer savvy than me googled his number only to find out this person has scammed other people, one of for $325 who had his bank freeze the money in the scammers account, only then to receive threatening emails and phone calls.
Apparralently the scammer rang the bank several times portraying a solicator and bank manager he also tried to con the bank saying he needed the money because his mother needs surgery.
