May I file a lien and should I start a law suit?

Colorado

I may have been scammed. I replaced a roof on a property for a person claiming to be the owner. Although, in my gut I started feeling this guy was not on the up and up. He asked me to initiate payments via credit card which I did not do previously. Once the job was done he asked me to add $4,700 to my invoice and once I got payment, he wanted me to send his broker the extra money to finalize fees from the closing of the house he just purchased and I reroofed. Once I did as he requested, he asked me to do more money on his credit card. When I refused him, he got very belligerent and cancelled his credit card payment. I looked on the county website - it is not his name on the property records, it is under an LLC. I'm at a loss on what I can do to try to get my money back from this guy. If he really is not the owner of the property, will a lien on the property benefit me at all? I believe I have his address which I got when he gave me his credit card information.
