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.

That sucks: one should be able to trust one's family and close friends. You should be able to enforce the contract with your mother as witness, but it has officially gone ugly. This is why I typically insist on paying by check, since it is a lot harder for crooks to get away with a scam like this.

Never let money slide off your hand without paperwork in place! She should never see a dime until she signed the title over

kick her ass and get your money back or take some of her stuff and sell it.

I am 110% sure your sister is using drugs, classic addict behavior.

Lesson learned. Never hand over the money without paperwork in hand. For anything. No matter who it is

Get this: I GAVE my brother a car and he talked me into giving him the plates "cause they happened to contain his initials." He was to transfer them to his name. Six months later I got a bill from NYC Parking Violations Bureau for $700 in fines/late/chages. Guess who paid? He's 16 years older.
