So glad you have it under control and you have spoken with your parents. It must be a huge weight off your mind.
I enclose below a copy of my reply from Gwent Police for those that are interested.
Angry Guy,

Good Morning, Angry Guy,
Thank you for your emails.
I have gone back to your original email sent in yesterday and read through the very lengthy web chats attached.
I see that many people have sensibly advised that ‘LostOne87’ does not hand over any money and to instead seek advice from reputable agencies.
It is very difficult to be able to ascertain any possible criminal or civil offences without much more information (especially communication between all parties) and also from speaking to ‘Lostone87’ in person. Your message to them in which you state they are to contact police would be our initial advice too. They are clearly very comfortable with communicating via web forums so by providing them with the email address for us, as you did, I would trust this would be a suitable reporting tool for them to initiate first contact and enable us to then arrange to see them and ascertain any criminal offences and deal accordingly.
Cofion gorau / Kind regards,
Julie
