Today, my friend, who had begged me to buy them a plane ticket after being stranded overseas, blocked me. They didn't even use the ticket. FML

Are you aware it probably wasn’t your friend, but a scammer hacking their account? This is a typical one - “stranded overseas and need help”.

Just to confirm what others have posted. Your friend's e-mail has been hacked. You have sent money to a scammer, not to your friend. You should try to contact your friend some other way (e.g. phone) to warn him/her what is going on. A friend of mine shelled out GBP1250. I hope you paid less.

You’ve been scammed. Call the airline and see if you can get credit for your own future travel.

They made it over there they can make it back

Did you give your bank info to the Nigerian Prince who wants to share his riches with you too ?? Report it OP, i doubt you'll get it back but it's worth a shot, just don't be so gullible next time Unless we all got the wrong end of the stick and your friend used you for some unknown reason or purpose
