Everytime you sell or send an email you give away your email address so if it was that easy to scam someone none of us would be safe.
As long as you have a strong password and have not given her that !!! then you are ok.
They are not interested in hacking your account, they just want to scam you via sending a courier payment via western union or moneygram.
Just ignore the emails and delete them.

Ignore, i doubt its a her, they work out of gangs in Africa.
Don't give your email or any info as they have been known to sign you up to horrid sites as revenge.

Well "she" would as they know they can't scam you and will not waste anymore time on you and will go on to try another victim.
But the threat of the police is pointless as they are not in the UK and nothing the UK police can do about it.
BUT if you try and wind them up then as i said they have been known to sign victims up to horrid web sites as revenge so best to just ignore them.
