Got scammed on craigslist

First off, i know i made some stupid mistakes by getting scammed this way but im not here to talk about that. Hoping i can get some advice from some knowledgeable people. I was purchasing a monitor on craigslist from a somewhat local seller but was unable to set up a meet up time over the coarse of a week and a half. What ended up happening was he gave me his checking account # and told me to deposit into it and he would ship it asap. I ended up depositing a check into his account and he said he shipped it out a few hours later told me i should arrive in a few days but never gave me a tracking number. I wrote the check out to EMPIRE ENGINEERING he said it was his business account and thats what these monitors were used for. I guess i dont know enough about checks but i just assumed the name i wrote the check out to had to match the account. So after i didnt get the item i contacted him and he told me he was in texas till the end of the month which he did say he was going to do when i first contacted him. He said he would try to figure out what happened and that he had left tracking at home. over the next week he kept in contact with me which i found strange if he was scammer since theres no way for me to get my bank to return my money without any legal action. So all the information i have is -cell phone # -checking account number as wells fargo questions: any quick advice -who should i contact? -is there anyway to track someones location myself with just a cell phone #? -is there anyway to track someone myself with just a checking account #? Hope someone can help me!!! thanks in advance
