Blocked both cell phones numbers. Changed my Facebook security settings

changed primary email, and deactivated the account. For the email I was
using to have the Skype call, I also deleted it out of sight. Blocked them
on Skype before deleting email.
Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help
prevent someone else from being scammed.:
I met this person first on OkCupid. The photos seemed legit. When she
gave me her number I did a reverse phone search and the number was legit
(had first 3 digits from my same area code). Then when we went to Skype and
she asked me started asking me personal things like "what I did for a
living", my age , etc. I felt something was odd. Then when we began to cam,
the pre-recorded video of the girl was not the same girl I saw on OkCupid
profile. Something in my gut told me something was odd. I still went with
it and now I'm dealing with the consequences. Lesson for others: Go with
your gut and if it's too good to be true or "too easy", then something is
definitely off.
