If you think its a scam, report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Notify the website or app where you met the scammer, too.

What happens if you report a scammer?

Your report may keep others from experiencing a scam. Government agencies use reports of scams to track scam patterns. They may even take legal action against a company or industry based on the reports. However, agencies usually dont follow up after you report, and cant recover lost money.
