Who made the first contact?: I contacted them first., They contacted me first.
If they asked you to leave the site/app and go elsewhere, where did they take you?: I received a random email from the person. With nothing in the body of the email to lead me to believe it was from Craigslist or doublelist, but it's the only place I can imagine.
Any other social media profile links used by the scammer.: None that I found

How much money did they demand?: About $4300
Name you were told to send the money to.: Debra Taylor
What country/city were you told to send the money to?: Did not specify
How were you to send the money ?: Zelle
What steps, if any, have you already taken to block the scammer?: Deactivated Facebook, deleted my "text now" app (phone calls and texts were coming through there), deleted my emails that he/she communicated with me on...changed my passwords to something I will never remember so that I don't get curious and try to take a peek.
Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help prevent someone else from being scammed.: Bottom line:
Girl contacts me, wants to meet me, never tells me her age (even though I texted things like "I need you to be legal and over 18"), drives out (supposedly) to meet me, crashes the dads truck and needs extensive surgery.
Dad (who she doesn't live with) is in the army and up for promotion so he needs to keep it all quiet, makes a "handshake deal" for me to help. I say "ok" thinking it's a few hundred bucks, no big deal.
When I was told it's $4000 I started wondering.
And then I started thinking that I didn't do anything wrong in the first place so why should I even pay?
Then I'm still worried about police knocking on my door and other silly things.
That's when I found this place.
