    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Now about that scamers long before the internet... I know but it's a lot harder to kick somebody's ass over the internet..Lol back in those days you at least had a chance to find somebody. Now you don't know whether they're in Illinois. Fort Myers Chicago or wherever else. I guess I'm just a simple man.

The BOI helps immensely with Internet scams, so we appreciate that you have posted here. People read about the transaction, and make their decisions about whether they want to deal with either of the parties. Peer and economic pressure are both substantial ways to deal with those who are taking advantage of another.

But if you hang out here and read a bunch of the Bad Guy posts, you will see that sometimes it is not so cut and dried, and sometimes there are evil third parties influencing the transaction between buyers and sellers, sometimes the buyer is mistaken or even deliberately misinforming (I'm not talking about you, just in general).
It would be a sad day to torch someone's son or husband or sister and realize the next day that you got the wrong guy. Just sayin'.

I payed​ her with PayPal through goods and something..she sent it back to me and said she needed me to send it friends and family..

For future reference, most scammers requires you to send friends and family; when she denied the payment as goods and services, that should've been the end of the transaction. You are not the only person who thought nothing of it and sent funds that way.
