Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam Washington

I was a victim of internet fraud. I ordered a vehicle and the sale/payment was to be handled through -. This turned out to be a phony company posing as - with their logo and everything. They had me do a cash transfer through MoneyGram to an " - agent '' who would hold the money in escrow while the vehicle was delivered from another state. I had 5 days to review the vehicle and then if not satisfied could return it. I have subsequently contacted -, MoneyGram and the local authorities and all have told me that it was a scam and that - and MoneyGram are not responsible. I accept that but thought I would try to let others know of the scam and register the complaint.
