I just checked and unfortunately it doesn't look like you can block users you haven't made any transactions with before; I just went to try and block her to be safe, but it relies on your contacts page, and users only get added to contacts if you've sent or received money from them.
EDIT: I found a workaround, but it requires the mobile app. Send her a request for a negligible amount like 1 cent and then immediately cancel it (through either the site or app), then log into the app and look at the cancelled transaction. There'll be a "Block Mya" button at the bottom of the screen that you can tap, and it'll block her so it won't be possible to make any transactions with her in the future.
