Watch for Scam Artists- F1 Overstay Caused by Money Scam

In an effort to remain in the US a women has requested immigration advice. This is her situation:

I came to the U.S for my graduate degree in 2009 and was on extension of my I20 in 2010. I met my ex-bf who is an american citizen about a year ago. Later he made up a story to convince me his life is in danger if he doesn't have money to pay his debt. So I lend him 10k all I had. He promised me he'll pay me back right away. Yet, of course he didn't after he obtained the money. I couldn't get a sufficient financial statement to extend my I-20 again since I didn't get my money back. My I-20 expired and I became over-stay, and it's going to be over 180 days soon.

I just found out he changed his name since he has been sued many times by women who he owed to under his old name. His salary is required to be garnished as well. Can I consider this as money scam? What can I do for my overstay now?
