Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam Arizona

A woman in - - advertised a house for rent in - -. I responded, wanting to rent for the month of - 2016. Her " husband '' handled the initial exchanges, including a contract, certificate of ownership, etc. I filled out an online application. It was all done online. After I sent the $1000.00 security deposit he requested, his wife texted me saying he had died -. She wanted the rest of the payment - $1500.00. At this point I realized I was in deep trouble, so I refused. I got to MoneyGram Inc only 1 hour before she picked up the $1000.00 and blocked it. I now have my money back but do not want this woman to scam another person. Thank you.
