Seller fraud: any lawyer/audiophiles in NY state?

If there are any lawyer/audiophiles on this forum who could provide me some advice for a fee in regards to a fraud case involving a small 'ring' of users here on Audiogon and dealing with it in the state of NY, I'd be grateful if one of you could reach out to me via Audiogon in-mail. I've been in contact with the Nassau county DA's office and followed their advice regarding demand letter, etc...the delivery period for that has now expired and the carrier has reported it as unclaimed so I need some good advice as to how to proceed from this point forward. The amount is definitely "over the line" so legal action per NY state law is now indicated.

Thank you....

My understanding is that you have to make the first contact under those rules. I'm not a lawyer but I play one on TV.

I believe this bad actor and friends are back under a new user ID out of Uniondale (L.I.) NY.  I reported them for the potentially fraudelent ad they placed for a P02 and D02 unit combo using the SAME PHOTOS that they ripped off Yahoo (Aleado) Japan more than a year ago.  Audiogon has suspended the listed but will not suspend the userID or dispatch attorneys. Same pattern of 2-3 failrly new users (< 6 months), 2-3 transactions or a bit more among only themselves, all happy and then "bam" they get someone. They seem to have defrauded someone out of an Esoteric K03 unit on a trade; luckily that user was able to stop the other (cash) side of the trade via Paypal....  Scumbags...
