Randy,

Since you haven't lost any money, it's unlikely that the local or federal authorities will investigate. The scammer hasn't actually committed a crime yet, unless you can prove his intent. Also, since the scammer is outside of the country, it becomes an international matter, and it's hardly worth anyone's time for a few thousand bucks. (Here in Michigan, a law firm lost over a million dollars when an employee embezzled their trust fund to pay a scammer.) The sheer volume of these scams means that only the most egregious are ever investigated.

Good luck, I hope I'm wrong and they put the guy in jail.

The Secret Service has jurisdiction in these cases. See the link below.
