Asked in Antitrust and Civil Rights for Texas

Q: Can I sue a person who contacted me online for an online job then ended up scamming me?

She contacted me online about a job online and said it will pay at least $7,000 a week and said that I would not have to pay anything but I did and I really didn't have the money to but I went against my better judgement because she said I would get a whole lot and that the chances of me having to pay again was I believe a 00.00001% chance but it did happen again and it was way more then before and that's kinda when It was clear to me that she was scamming me. I would like to get my money back plus what she lied to me and said that I would make honestly i want that just for payback, to teach them a lesson and due to medical bills I am about to have.
