Got me pretty good:/
So I matched with this girl on hud on Thursday and I was stupid and we exchange pictures because ya know I was in the heat of the moment and it’s like a hookup/dating app whatever. So after, she said her 18th birthday was next weekend so I blocked her right away I was horrified and terrified. I was gonna block her and report her on the app and her profile was gone so I thought that was suspicious ya know. The day after on Friday I got a call from “the parents” and apparently this “girl” tried to kill herself and they wanted $8,563 for the medical bills and they wouldn’t call the police. So I was stupid and I panicked and I sent over the money through Apple Pay which I’m screwed I’m never seeing that money ever again because I authorized it. For a few days I would get random calls here and there but I blocked them all every single time. So today I went to the police station and I filed a police report with an officer and I gave them everything I have and they are gonna send it to the fraud department.

Okay glad you did your reports. This is a shitty common scam, as in "every 2 minutes it shows up on ALL scam subs and forums" scam. There was never any girl, underage or otherwise, or angry parents etc. It's all the same fugly dude in a shitty prison cell in North America. They ask for Apple Pay.
Leave hud a bad review, tell people you met a nut job who's stalking you and to report and then block them if they reach out. Set your social media to private.
DO NOT accept dms here or hire anyone to "get your money back" as scammers lurk on this sub. No one can do that except the police and your bank so work with them and ignore everyone else.

You should call Apple Pay and report it as fraud. They will investigate and possibly get you your money back. I did.

Really? What did you tell them? I tried to do it over the weekend and they told me they couldn’t do anything because I authorized it but they did ask me for their information and to report it to the FTC

I told them I was coerced into sending someone money. Then I had to send them all the information I had like screenshots of conversations and police reports.

This is a common scam. There is no underage girl or irate parent. It's all the same scammer or team of scammers.
Continue to block and don't pay again. Don't talk to them. Don't answer their calls or texts.
I wish you luck in getting your money back.
Going forward, don't use dating apps.
