3. She may be scamming you, but she may not have received the item.

A number of years ago I ordered a pair of replacement prescription glasses online, so not cheap. I got the notification from the company that they had been delivered. I didn't receive them. I gave them a couple of weeks to see if it got straightened out. (Big mistake, the onus was on me to check with the US mail instead of the company. So I started bugging the USPS. Got the run around saying records showing it was delivered to my mailbox. Still no help. I had to up it to a human at the post office who traces these things (and she isn't there full time). It took weeks and it turned out that it was delivered in my neighborhood in another one of the boxes in a kiosk, but not mine. Unfortunately they would not give me the name or the actual address who received it and they would not go to try to retrieve it themselves. (Why, I don't know, but it's not their policy.) So eventually I had to report this whole thing to the optical company and they did give me a replacement pair but by that time the frames I wanted were out of stock and I ended up hating the replacement one.

So anyway, it's possible she could be telling the truth, but on the other hand seeing her record, not probable.
