Default Macbook Scammed

Hi everyone,

As next year I am planning to go to University I responded to an add on Kijiji for a macbook that was $700.00. Long story short, it's been over 2 weeks and the last I heard from him was on Thursday of last week, He said that the laptop hadn't been shipped yet, but was in the "Warehouse" and was suposed to be sent the following day (Friday March 14). I tried to email him on Saturday but got an email saying my message couldn't be delivered.

I paid him via paypal. His name on his email was listed as Blake Macdonald, but on his paypal it was Bryan. His email was scoony_21@hotmail.com. He said he lived in Regina and needed the money to move to St. Johns, but after buying it, he soon informed me that they were a "Mac dealing company", hence the warehouse.
The post was listed under the Halifax section of Kijiji.

Upon searching google I also found this link:
ROCK BAND COLLECTORS EDT. BNIB : Toronto - GTA eClassifieds 4U

in which he's selling rock band from an address in Hamilton from the phone number 9057650016 and same email.

I don't know if it's too soon to assume i've been duped, but I'm scared to wait too long. As you can probably assume i'm going to need that money, or the laptop, for university so any help you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you,
John
