The thing i see here is you don’t have to know if it’s a crime to report it. If you believe a crime has taken place, you are free to contact any authorities you believe would be appropriate and make a report. You can contact any or all of the possible agencies having authority to investigate and seek prosecution. If they don’t see it as criminal activity, they may tell you so or simply accept your report and take no further action. Often times the victim believes they have to know what specific crime has taken place. It is never the victims place to make that determination.
I agree with that. And on the criminal side of things, reporting what the person did to the local police and FBI is all he or she can do.

But if the OP wants to pursue civil remedies, he or she will have to provide the details of what happened to a lawyer to figure out what recourse he or she may have. If the OP shares some details here then he or she might get useful feedback on whether any crime was committed and whether any civil recourse is possible (both from a U.S. standpoint as we don't generally do Canadian law here ).
