Last night I got a message through messenger asking if I could get some money sent to my PayPal for her and transfer it into her account.......I did this for 2 amounts of 288£ .........turns out this was a scanner who had hacked into her account....I feel stupid and want to catch the year out.......he/she is still messaging and wants me to send more.......if I did this and then didn't send it to their account could this help PayPal reimburse the poor person who's money it is ? Advice please. X

You got scammed twice, why are you willing to get scammed again. Just ignore the messages.

I really couldn't figure that out from your original post as the chronology of details and messages didn't make sense.

How is she busted if you keep the money?
