Prima facie it appears to be a case of section 420,406 of IPC. You should immediately file a police complaint against the company and its employees including the one you gave money to. If its a company then it will have CIN number or a GST number by that way the company can be tracked. Also the payment which was made by cheque its bank statement should be included in your complaint. Time is of the essence in such cases as more you delay complaining and investigation more weak your case becomes.

Dear querist,

In such situation, firstly, if you cannot ascertain his address And whereabout then the first and foremost thing should be filing is a F.I.R against the company or that person. A complaint to the police station will be filed under various charges under IPC, therefore please ensure that all the facts of the case Are mentioned in the complaint.

Can file consumer complaint alleging deficiency of services, and also a civil suit for recovery is possible. In addition, a criminal complaint under S. 420 IPC is also made out because of their deceptive actions.
