Luckily it was only $28. The final response (finally!) I filed within a few days of when all broke loose. When all this started I have only been using Paypal as a last resort. I normally use a credit card when buying from someone I don't know. It was MY stupidity that I had the funds removed from my checking account. I think I was more trusting in this case, since she posted here.
Another live and learn and be grateful it was only $28. Hopefully the police/FBI are still persuing her. Who is she scamming now for what $?
