So, today I gave someone 100 TBT bells & in return, they gave me 3 million in-game bells. My game errored, and I didn't get any of the bells they gave me & my TBT bells are (obviously) all gone. This person is now offline and I really have no clue what to do or where the bells went. If anyone could help me, that'd be great. Thank you!
Lost 3 mil bells?

Did the bells completely disappear or are there still in their inventory?
If it was a connection error, they'd still have it. But then, I'm sure they'd notice you didn't get your bells.
If it was a random glitch, and they went home safely on the train, they wouldn't have the bells, as the game saves when the train leaves

If by error you mean the Resetti screen, then it was a connection error, and they probably quit the game immediately and didn't notice. They would still have the bells.
Who is that person? Maybe we can keep an eye on them? Is naming someone allowed here? (it is on GameFAQs)

Nopers, public blacklisting isn't allowed on here.
Just PM them and wait to see if they get back to you OP.
Did they drop the bells or do the Re-Tail method? The Re-Tail bells, I think wouldn't show up in your ABD account until the next day.
If they dropped them, then yeah, you'd know if they went missing. But maybe the person cut the game? I'd check their ratings and see if they seem shady or not. Give them a chance to refund you, or give you the bells though, before just giving them a bad rating. It might have been an honest mistake.

^ Exactly - the $ won't show up in your ABD until the next game day. Which method did you use?
As LyraVale said, try to PM/VM them first, give them a chance to clear things up or refund you or redo the transaction.
If no response, you might want to consider contacting a mod and file a report to see if they would help resolve this.
(Unless you have detailed screenshots, situations like this can be very sticky though...)
One important thing I'd like to share: SAVE often, every 2 million bells or so if it's a bigger amount.
Always ask the host to save.
Disconnection for *whatever* reason is a common occurrence, and it can be prevented with some preventive measures.
It was the drop method! I'll for sure PM them whenever I see they're on!
I see. Just PM & VM them now, don't wait too long, as they can check messages on their phones too, and they might not even realize the trade didn't go thru. The sooner you notify them, the better;
more importantly, they could be on "invisible mode" like what you see me now.
I'll be appearing as offline.
