You did the right thing. The MIL was trying to sell something once and someone tried to pull the classic PayID scam saying their husband worked in the area and would be the one to come pick it up, this was on a Sunday in a suburb with nothing nearby.

Then they said they had trouble transferring money online and if the MIL PayID'd them $1000 this person would send back the money plus the difference.
