A mutual friend had this person added. I warned the friend about the
scammer so hopefully she blocks them.

This was a clever scam. I went with it because the profile said she had
completed university which implied she was legal. Then they began accusing
me of being a pedophile which added stress to the whole situation. I almost
went for the payment, but drove to a park instead and really investigated
this and considered all the details.
