Today, after handing over the cash to buy my sister's car off her, she refused to sign any of the paperwork, and later put an ad on Craigslist selling the same car. I got scammed by my own sister. FML

I will give you an update on what has since happened: The car in question was 1500 bucks and I needed a car badly so I bought it off her and she told me she would give me the paperwork the following day for it. Being she is my sister I trusted her to give me the papers the next day. I happened to browse Craigslist only to find an ad resembling the car I just bought off her with her phone number. I called to see if she could take the ad down because I figured that she put this up before I bought the car when she told me she isn't going to take the ad down and the car is for sale. For those of you accusing of me owing her money...I did not owe anything to her before hand and paid her in full for the car. I had originally given my mom the money to give to my sister so it is not like she cannot say I have no proof the money wasn't given to her. My mom has been on her case about stealing the money and we are still working things out. Will give an update if it does eventually work out.

For one Wtf, slap her and get your money back while she is stunned. Two make an add on Craigslist saying she is lonely/horny and put her number.

If you have any proof that you and her were going to make the deal, and if there were any witnesses, you could take this to court.

It still blows me away how family members can be such assholes sometimes.

Family and finance doesn't go well together. Get your money back first.

No matter how old you are if possible involve you parents. Sometimes even a real a@@hole gets embarrassed by being confronted by mom or dad. If not try to talk to her but be sure to record your conversation and if she won't change her mind at least you have some proof of the deal

Ok one, this is my FML....how it got stolen from someone in Canada I have no idea. Probably because I did not have an account when I submitted this FML. (like wtf I got my own FML stolen by someone else on FML's website?) Two I have updates on what happened since I submitted this FML. I had to make an account just to say that this is my FML......

I'll place a huge bet that says you owed her that money for some other nonsense you pulled.

Best of luck with that. It's some really sad, messed up shit when you can't trust your own family.

Best of luck OP. I hope it works out in your favour. I can't even imagine being scammed by my sister :/

If this does spell family feud I don't know what does :/ I am sorry to hear that and I hope it works out. I still support the Craigslist idea but only after you get the money, car or both back (:

Good luck. hope it works out well for you, and at least your mom is on your side

Good luck op. Scammers are terrible when it's real money instead of virtual currency but it's even worse when it's family.

I could never imagine somebody doing that to their own sibling.

If you have to take her to small claims court

Sounds like something that should be on Judge Judy...

That's so horrible! How can she sleep at night doing so low down! She's a sociopath.
