Scammed by a "friend"

[Maria D. Scott]

So a college friend asked me to do her a favor. She has a house that she's upside down on here in Virginia. It needed a lot of work done. I fronted the +3k in supplies and labor and got it back up to an inhabitable status. She gave me verbal permission via text. Now she saying that she didn't give permission and she doesn't have that kind of money. But her house is now all fixed up. And I'm out of time and money.
