Complaint Review: Laura Duke; Stomy Ionutz E-bay

I was bidding on an item on e-bay. Then a certain Laura Duke (r00tlex1980@aol.com) sent me an email to offer the said item. I paid no attention attention at first because the bidding hasn't even ended yet. When the bidding ended, and I did not win. She sent another message asking if I am still interested in the item, and sked what my highest offer was. I replied to the email, and gave a reasonable price. Then I received an email from Stomy Ionutz (stomy_18@yahoo.com) with a paymetn invoice for the item. The email claimed to be from ebay and that Laura Duke is a powerseller and has funds with ebay..in short the email "assured" that the seller is legit. It was very convincing. It included how I could get a refund if not satisfied. I immediately sent the money, and emailed the seller. she responded to the email, asking for details of my payment (I sent it through Western Union..I know it was very stupid, but I have said earlier, the email from Stomy Ionutz is very convincing). I gave details of payment and asked when I will be receiving the item..I'ts been more than a week but I haven't heard from Laura, nor Stomy...I don't know how to get the money from them. I just hope they don't fool others anumore.
