I got smoked buying a knife off a FB group. Anything I can do?

Isnt this technically a social media site?

Refer to post #7.

I got smoked on the FB CR Exchange page to the tune of $325. Did a reverse image search. Profile seemed legit.

ISO / WTB is asking for it. Will never do it again.

Posting a WTB where anyone who stumbles across it is able to contact you is asking for punishment. Anytime you're dealing in a Facebook group you should ask the group for vouches for the individual you're dealing with before sending payment. I'd also request a timestamp (picture of the knife with today's date and both names handwritten in the same image) and ask for additional images beyond what they first send you. If they can't or won't produce any one of those they're not worth taking a chance on.
