Asked on Dec 31st, 2020 on Consumer Fraud - Florida
More details to this question:
I paid a $5,000 deposit to purchase a vehicle from a business owner. I have a contract that says I am entitled to a refund if he does not deliver the vehicle. It has now been over a month and he has not delivered the vehicle nor processed a refund despite multiple request from me. He now ignores my calls/messages.

You will likely need to hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit to try to secure a judgment against the seller. This may not be cost effective given the value of the car. You can try to file a complaint with local law enforcement if you think it was a fraud scheme and see if they can help but the often claim its a "civil" matter.
