this sucks, but it is a learning lesson in the long term of life, you will bounce back from this and be stronger then ever.
dont let these scammers discourage you. my buddy did nearly the same thing in high school and lost more then you trying to buy his first motorcyle. long story but they used ebay and western union to do it. he never got a motorcycle and was bummed for a long time over it. the problem is its probably not one person and a whole team of experts that do this all day long like a job.
I almost fell for one too, awhile back and these guys were real pros even with a website and live customer service!!! all a scam.
its sad and unfortunate but again it could have been more and things have a way of coming around.
I have seen lonely women scammed for more then 100k by these broke crooks.
I would also like to add, I will never buy something without seeing it in person now.... UNLESS I can afford the risk. which most of the time is not worth it to even take a chance. if its something small and stupid then okay under a 100 bucks I would but you start climbing higher and the risk is not worth it.
