Got scammed on Kijiji

I'm sure the bank knows what bank it went to and the location. I'm also sure that the cell number can be traced to an owner. The issue is that no one will disclose the info or do anything about it. The scammers can do whatever they want without fear of repercussion and they know it.

My response is long winded........so point form......

The bank held up my transfer and sent message to contact them.
Scammer was waiting for the transfer...I told him I'm working on it.
45 minutes into holding on the phone for the bank, the e-transfer was released.
At the 1 hour mark, RBC bank rep finally answers my call.
Rep told me that the email address had been flagged, that's why they told me to call and held the transfer.
F.....ing COVID. The reason it took sooooo long to answer my call so I missed the window to cancel once it was released.
