I have just lost 300e using a vendor I have always trusted, I dont know who to trust now. Bad times

Just an update on my being scammed, which makes me furious at this moment and I hope no one else gets hit with this one. 

Mine was an email address that I had been using from for many years (respectable). I approached the same email friend for the same magazines. However, the money was taken with a confirmation one week later that it would be sent. 

Then after requesting how long, My reputable friend said sorry that his email has been taken over.... along with my funds for my magazines! No warning prior that the email had been taken and exploited, even though I was told this was common knowledge it was taken prior ( Well thanks for telling me Mr vendor, I must have been overlooked) I am not a happy bunny 

I am newbie and maybe that is why I am confused. 
you used an old email and communicate with vendor. Sent funds via same way as in the past? Then used same email about how long and that is when vendor said email was taken? How did original vendor get the email about ETA and not about funds?
