I made a really dumb mistake where I wanted one of those african dance videos with a message for my friend's birthday and I bought it from a seller on fiverr who's basically a scammer. He deleted the gig right after I bought it and posted a new gig with a video of completely different people and changed his profile picture. I asked him to cancel immediately after I saw this (1 minute after buying the gig) and he started begging me not to cancel and said he'll make the video for me. 

He sent me a sample which was not what I wanted at all. He denied my request to cancel 4 times and I'm sure he'll deny my 5th request soon. Now he's demanding me to send him my Whatsapp number and make me pay another $10 dollars after the $20 I already spent for another video. I told him I don't want the video at all and he said he'll only cancel if I find him another client which is insane. I contacted fiverr support and got no response. I really don't know what to do. 

I'll attach evidence and screenshots below there's so much more in this conversation of him begging & me requesting to cancel & him saying no. 

(in one of the ss he says to check his reviews but he has none) 

I am getting scammed by seller who refuses to cancel the order
