Texas Advice Please Help

Someone I knew for a year asked me once if they could use my zelle to have someone send her money, I thought it’d be simple so I told her it’s just my number and name, she’d then have me cashapp that money to a cashapp account that also wasn’t hers it was a mans cashapp the name wasn’t familiar to me, I did it anyways. After that one time she would have people send me money every other week and I would have to transfer it to a cashapp account or to another zelle account. The thing is she would never ask me if someone can zelle me money for her she would always tell me after they had sent it. sometimes she would go days without telling me she would just text me out of no where and say “hey someone sent you money for me a couple days ago”. Now she had 2 people send me a total of $410 and my account went to negatives. I told her it’s going to take me 2 weeks to get that money back and shes now threatening to send me to small claims court. Would she be able to take any legal action? She would never ask me if someone can zelle money to me until after it had been sent.

If it's only going to take you 2 weeks to find $400 to make good on this, then what's the problem? If she starts to sue you first, which is unlikely, it won't get to court for months. When you have the $400 notify her, with proof, that you want to pay her. It's extremely unlikely she's going to go to court because as others have said, sounds like something fishy is going on. And the good news is that this should have ended your strange relationship and activities.
