I made the mistake of paying an advance to a sham tradesman for a home renovation project. I only have his Australian phone number and the Australian bank account number into which the funds were transferred.

Can the court order police to find his true identity based on his bank account and phone number if I take him to court?

Or what is the procedure because I believe he gave me a fictitious name and it is not hard to activate a mobile sim card in someone else's name?
