CRIMINAL - If no admission done then it is a clear cut case of cheating u/s 420 IPC and criminal breach of trust u/s 409 IPC. You can either get FIR registered or pursue a private criminal complaint against the offenders. Most important is the proof of payment and all other documentation which shall be used as evidence. The complaint should be well drafted. Prompt action is required as such offenders often flee and go underground.
CIVIL - you can also file civil suit / summary suit for recovery of amount paid, interest thereupon and damages.

Dear
File a complaint in the concerned police station. it is a clear cut case of cheating. Police will declare the person as absconding and will arrest. Meet a lawyer to prepare your complaint.
Thanks
