    The person in the email pretending to be the girl claimed to be underage (but they were fake and the pictures received were not of any underage girl), but the scammer themselves is underage. Will being underage help the scammer get out of trouble?
    You may want to walk away with a lesson learned. If you talk to the police and admit to knowingly sending sexual commentary to a child, or naked photos, you could find yourself going to jail! If you were knowingly engaging in sexual banter with what you believed was a minor, you're toast if you talk to the cops.

    Walk away and stay off of Craigslist! Get sex the old fashioned way - DATE! Or, if you can't, pay for it - at least until you get busted (or catch a disease).

    Yes it was a sex ad. I heard that the feds will not go after anyone between states if it is not over 3k stolen. Is this true?
    The feds aren't going to touch this. And no local agency is going to invest any time in investigating it. You can report it, but it will almost certainly languish in a file somewhere without follow-up.

    No pictures were sent (but some were received) and I don't see how any of it matters if it was just a young kid impersonating a 17 year old girl. The underage girl wasn't even a real person so I don't see how I could go to jail.

    Have you ever watched "To Catch A Predator"?

    If you received images of what you believed was a minor, or engaged in sexual conversation with what you believed was a minor, or made arrangements to meet who you believed was a minor in order to engage in unlawful sexual activity, that can result in a conviction and prison time much the same as if they had been real.

    I'm telling you, the police are not going to act on this unless it is against you. If I received this report, I'd be looking hard at you and wondering if you are a pedophile or in possession of kiddy porn. I'd be seeking your cooperation ostensibly to investigate the crime of extortion, but really looking in your system for evidence to hang you. Cops take a dim view of perverted activity especially when kids are involved.

    But, you can go ahead and report it, but be prepared to find yourself admitting to a crime and having the police seize your computer and use it as evidence of said crime.

    This is an expensive lesson. Date adults, and only date those that you can see.

    I suspect the person asking is the one who ran the scam.

    If so, you should be worried.

    If not, you can just ignore this post.
