<prompt> Human: I know I know... I shouldnt have loaned the money in the first place. But its already done. She told an elaborate story and made it seem like an emergency. Later, I discovered she scammed at least two others. Ive already taken her to small claims court and won. But even after that, she wont repay. Took every subsequent legal action: information subpoena, warrant for arrest, etc., but she simply ignores each court order. She has basically taken off. She moved from her old residence to who knows where. I dont know where she currently works or even if she has a job. Tried using social media e.g., facebook, linkedin to find out info, but everything is hiddendeleted. Reached out to our few mutual friends for assistance, but no luck. Lawyers wont help because theres not enough money in it for them.I took a risk in helping someone and got screwed. I was more financially secure back then, but am now in need of the money. Any options left or is it time to suck it up and take it as a lesson learned?tl;dr Scammed out of 1000. Won in small claims, but friend still refuses to pay.  <response>: Sounds like youve spent more than 1000 of your time trying to get it back. Let it go.
