Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam West Virginia

I found a deal on craigslist for a vehicle and and contacted the supposed seller. She ( or whoever ) sent me a text message asking for my email address so they could send me more info and pics on the vehicle. I did. She sent me info and a link to pics of the vehicle. She then told me she was in the military and that she needed to sell her vehicle asap. She said she was using - as a third party so everything would be covered. I stayed in contact with her until I did the money gram and then she would n't reply to my emails. Also I got the invoice from - and thats where the info to wire the money was at. I figured out it was a scam when I received an - invoice for another vehicle but did n't have my name on it. It was being sold to another person. The address was the same for the seller but different names. Also I contacted - and they have no record and do not sell vehicles, but I did report all the info on the names and supposed people invovled. My money was wire to - state but picked up in another and I do n't understand that. I would love to get my money back but I know that wo n't happen but I would also like for this not to happen to someone else.
