Was Scammed out of Exotic Item

I’m a new player, last night at around 10/10:30 Central Time I received the Exotic item Final Rest from the Shadow Behemoth. I did not have enough money to list it on the Trading Post, so a guild member suggested I sell it through the chat in Lion’s Arch. Another player whispered to me that they would buy the item for the 13 gold that I asked. I sent them the item and they never sent the gold or responded to any further whispers, from myself or the guild member assisting me.
I would really like my item back. Or the money that I was scammed out of. I was also told to link this post, confirming that what happened to me was scamming and that it was an official offense.

The very reason the Trading Post was developed was to provide a secure, scam-proof means of selling and trading items. I’m sorry that someone took advantage of you, but in the future, please use the TP, even if you need to wait a bit to have the listing fee to do so.

You are welcome to report the player and he will be actioned if the situation is verifiable. However, returning the item is not possible.
