Valerie (and anyone else in the US who experiences this), Please file a complaint with IC3.gov so they can add it to their files. IC3 is a joint effort of the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center to track and hopefully catch and prosecute these offenders. The fact you did not fall for it does not mean it's all over. Reporting it, especially since you have evidence in hand, may give them real means to help stop the folks behind this. For even more info, check my website rileyguide.com/scams.html.
