Yes, I agree now. I think there are legitimate people out there that can help you out. Case in point, I had someone get me an awesome deal from T-Mobile via Reddit. However, there are indeed many scammers. This was my first mistake.
Yes, this was my second mistake. Her explanation made sense though.
Yes, she sent us copies of information including her CLIA card, her driver's license, and tax forms.

I work in software development and I agree. This is a joke.
Good point. However, she is claiming she is filing for E&O because the cruise can't be fully refunded since we're within 60 days.

My Uncle has done this, and I have family working with authorities.
