More details to this question:
My exboyfriend received a car as a gift and I bought the car from him. The person who he got the car from knew that I gave him the money for the car and she said that he gave her some money out of it. And now she is saying it is not a gift and she wants money for the car.

Who has title? Tell her to see your ex for the money.

If she had signed the title over to the boyfriend then she has no more claim on the car.

If the car is titled in your name there is nothing that the other party can do to you. If the third party allowed the car to be titled in your boyfriend's name, there is noting that party can do to him either.

This seems more of contracts question than a criminal one. Is there a threat of involving the police? If they come talk to you, respectfully decline to talk to them and tell them you want to talk to a lawyer first. Also, make sure you have cleared the title to the car.
