Default I got Scammed for 800 dollars!

i saw this listing and called the guy to work out a deal with him

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

so i called him with the phone number listed in the description and sent him half which was 800 for the kit. I wired the money through western union and put it under my father name and a secret question. The clerk at western union said no one can take money without proper ID and answering the secret questions.
Somehow the money has already been taken without anyform of ID and answering the secret question! and its really hard to reach this guy and as of lately western union has been no #$#&*^ help at all!!!

I told him that once i recieved the kit i would transfer the funds through his name but somehow he already got the money...

Please help!!!

He is in Florida.

Buyer beware: he had 0 sales and 0 feedback. I wouldn't have trusted him with 20 bucks. That said, I'll see what I can find out.

Well the deal was that i would send him 800 first but not release the funds (as in make it out to his name after he shows me the tracking number.) After that i would check out the kit and send him the rest of the funds.

Also I pretended to say that I had a couple of friends in Fl that could meet up with him and he said that was fine... (basically to confirm that he was maybe telling the truth).
