So i got scammed on Dating site

Few Weeks ago i was on a Dating site, i got a message from said person, When i asked how they were. Well here is there message.
"I'm on the verge of being homeless bc I was unemployed for 2 months, so I'm behind. & I just started working again, but I don't get paid til Friday. & Today is the last day to pay it, but I'm a little short.. My roommate won't work with me at all, I even offered to pay her double on Friday. It just sucks. The worst part is I'm alone in this. There's literally not one person on this planet that I can count on right now."
Me Feeling bad for them i asked how much they were behide and they said $100..i once being homeless myself told them id help them out but they must pay me back cause im unemployed myself and i have nothing to eat once i give them this money. They said "YES OF COURSE ILL Pay you on WEDS & TAKE YOU OUT TO DINNER" So i gave them the money when they came to my house to pick it up.
Weds comes nothing i try and contact them after a long weekend and part of a week of not eating anything which i could handle cause i gone without food for a long time before And they ignore me...I feel so Stupid at this point and the hunger on top of being scammed hurt the situation even worse...
So me being the computer savy person i am made two fake accounts on the dating site, one a week after this happen to give it some time, they said the SAME EXACT SHIT, But i played like yea ill give you the money but Give me Your name Address and send me a picture of your ID just in case you dont say who you are & They did, They even sent me a video of them self. They i didnt reply.
Another Week later i made another account and did the same thing, Hey how are you, They replied all the same BULLSHIT! "I need help im getting kicked out im $100 Short etc etc" Now i have Emails & Text of them Doing this. What Legal Means can i take against this person?
I feel sick that someone out there would do that to someone, i helped them out of the kindness of my heart and went hungry for an entire week just to help another human...just to find out they were scamming me & there trying to do it to other people. its sicking...

You can file a complaint with the FBI.
Not much you can do unless you can attempt to track their ip but I doubt they aren't using some type of mask.

If you have evidence, you're golden bro. File the complaint.

It won't do anything and who cares he is still down a hundred bucks. Best is just to take precautions to not fall for that shit.
The scam seemed super obvious btw.

Even if that fucking piece of scum gets a slap on the wrist, it'll still be a really big inconvenience for that lowlife shit heel.
Fuck thieves.

Shit I'd get personal revenge somehow; but that's me.
I just looked it up. There's a judicial crime called False Pretenses that fits the situation more or less. However the language used points more towards a house or car (the word title is used).
There's a civil offense on the books also, which is fraudulent misrepresentation.
I don't know if money is covered in these though.
They basically say it's against the law to lie or defraud someone by making statements you know to be false, in order to gain from them.

You can file a report and nothing will probably happen and these thugs will continue to steal from people. Cut your losses and move on IMO.

Like i said i have ALL there info I.D Card, a Google Picture of where they live, Where They Suposibly Work. And All the Messages they sent on 3 Different accounts with the Same BS Story. It was only them that showed up. They must do this on a pretty regular Basis cause they piched me the same story on 3 Accounts.
I Feel Stupid for wanting to help someone & Giving them the last of my food money to help them out.
I want my Money Back & Them to learn a Lesson. Ive never fallen for a scam but i had a moment of weakness cause i stated before ive been homeless i know what its like and would never want to see anyone go threw that. i did it in good faith they pay me back. just to find out i was being scammed.

It's really not worth the headache. Nothing is really going to come of it. Despite Niffla's optimistic hope that you would be making life difficult for them by reporting it, chances are you won't. Money's gone. Go ahead and try if you really want to, no one is going to blame you.
But you might as well accept now that nothing will happen and you won't see that money ever again.

you not only gave 100 dollars to a stranger from the internet and expected them to pay you back
but also gave them your home address to pick the money up
