After 5 years I found out that my fiance is a succubus. It sounds ridiculous but it’s all very real. I raised her 3 kids like my own. I paid for everything we while she stayed home. We went on vacations, ate well and I was loyal and faithful to her. As it turns out she was sent by the devil himself to drain me spiritually, financially and emotionally. Over these 5 years she has done just that. My friends and family could see her for what she was. 3 years ago my mother even said to me “That woman is a demon and won’t leave you alone til you’re dead or broke. I did almost die and I am now homeless. After I left her I thought I would be safe from her games. She had slept with dozens of men behind my back and as it turns out she was able to do it because she was tracking me everywhere with my phone. When she went back to Maine where we are from she was sleeping with a drug dealer and fabricated a fake story about her being raped and held hostage. The truth came out that it was all a lie so I exposed her on Facebook. A succubus cannot and will not admit their wrongdoings and now she was labeled as a drug addict, a thief and a whore. So the next day she got into a car with someone and disappeared. No one has seen her or talked to her since January 14th not even her kids. Well let’s be clear, she’s not missing. She’s hiding. Partly because she is ashamed of what she’s done and it’s easier to disappear that to admit fault. But more importantly she need to be hidden so she can execute the cyber attack on me and my family. Starting at the end of January was when I realized she had installed root software and applications on all my devices which gave her complete control over any device I owned. What’s worse is while I’m uncovering this I’m trying to deal with intense hallucinations, no sleep and horrifying dreams caused from her demonic curse. If you think I’m lying you can research this on your own. There was a certain amount of comfort and reassurance that I wasn’t crazy due to the fact that other men around the globe had experienced the exact same things I did. Not just some of it ALL of it. Almost like they lived the same life I did over those 4 years. The toxic anger and abuse. The lying and cheating. Even the fake rape story. So here I am trying to cope with the breakup and insane mental insanity and now she is draining my bank accounts, taking control of my social media and email and making it impossible to work. I was let go from my job as I couldn’t use computers or phones without them being hacked. I couldn’t get the banks to help as the origin of the requests were from my devices with passwords. Of course she knows my passwords. She knows EVERYTHING about me. And she had pictures of my social security card, license and registration. Just for fun she posted those items on the dark web. Then, 100 hours of fighting back to save my family photos and preventing her from posting unsavory pictures of me online I got lucky. It turns out she has some help. And not just any hacker. This man left his desktop open on my laptop by accident and I was able to identify him based on his email address and login info on Reddit. Turns out he’s the VP of a 5 billion dollar consulting firm that specializes in AI technology. How my ex knows him I have no idea. Well, after I identified him the next night 4 armed men showed up at my house. Luckily the cops were there in under a minute. I thought they were there to kill me but then a couple weeks later I was setup to be brought to a dangerous neighborhood with my backpack which contained my laptop. That’s what this is all about. He needs this laptop because it has damning evidence on it. The police won’t help me. The FBI won’t get involved. And a lawyer can’t take the case unless criminal charges are filed. Here’s the thing. Anyone willing to help me will get a piece of the pie when I tie them to this attack and more importantly expose this company for allowing its employees to use company resources. Yes you heard me correctly. I’m positive that this VP has a group of people that work for the company that have a little side gig going. One where they extort money out of people and destroy their lives. A hackers guild if you will. At the end of last year I was living in a 1400 square foot apartment in beautiful Dunedin FL making 3k to 5k a week for an A+ rated company. Now months later I’m homeless and can’t even file for state help as they continue this cyber attack. I feel like my spirit is dwindling and many of my friends and family don’t believe what’s happening to me. So here’s the ask… I need 4k dollars to hire a digital forensics company to put together my case and get criminal charges brought against anyone involved. I will most likely need 5k to retain a lawyer that specializes in this arena. Next I will need at least 10k to disappear myself and track down Jenn. I have to find her to bring charges against her in the state she committed a crime. I can accomplish this by hiring an ethical hacker to decode the VPN she is using and find her location. My guess is that she’ll kill herself before she ever goes to prison but at least the demon that has possesses her will be gone too. She will never stop this as long as I’m alive I promise you. I also need money to save my car from being repossessed and to pay back money family has lent me to keep me fed and off the streets. That totals almost 15k. So there it is. It’s unbelievable but I will need upwards of 50k to get my life back. This is why there are so many good people that are living on the streets after becoming the victim of identity theft and cyber terrorism. And what’s worse no police organizations have the resources or know how to combat this. Everyone one keeps saying just move on. Forget about her and start your life over. I CAN’T WHILE SHE HOLDS ALL THE POWER. I’m a Christian man. A good man. A father of two. Someone that has always tried to help others and bring light to this dark world. She is trying to stomp out my light and take my soul for the devil to hold for eternity. I know that God will help me and I’m praying that someone will not only believe my story but back me financially to end this. My promise is to share back the wealth when I win a multi million dollar case against those involved. So don’t look at this as charity. More of an investment. Please help me. I’m running out of time and I can’t endure this much longer.

Sincerely,

Sam (One of Gods precious soldiers)

Thank you for your help

Hello. I am a very hard working WOMAN VETERAN and never taking advantage of welfare. It’s a tough pill to swallow but I am now asking for help!

I work quite a bit and have worked hard since my first job babysitting at 12 years old(of two babies and a 3yr old overnights). I have always had 1-3 jobs, mostly two jobs during this time span. I have tried to help others when I can! I have lived an honest life! That includes at Christmas, taking my son to Phoenix and driving around donating to the homeless, hot dogs, water, cleaning kits and blankets to the homeless, throughout the city. I have always wanted to open a community for our homeless vets!

Maybe one day, but for now, I spent my hard earned money on what I thought was a true site with many people that were posting daily of their winnings. So I thought it was a legit site with cryptocurrency. I really thought this would be my big break! I spent every last that I had from cash, my credit cards, and took out a couple of loans with one being my vehicle for collateral! Then I thought I was being scammed so I contacted a person whom I believed to be able to get my funds back and got scammed by then! OMG!!!! There are so many scams out there FOR EVERYTHING these days!!!! It’s nuts!!! Unfortunately, because it is very hard to get by with what we make these days! The cost of living is making it so much harder to get by! Still unacceptable!!!!

So now here I am feeling like such a fool and in debt even more. This life lesson has put me in more debt of at least $8000. I could really use some help here and or even a job that would help me become financially free. I would be open to learning as long as it is ethical, legally, and morally true. I would greatly appreciate it! Not to mention so I can pay it forward as well. Thank you. God bless us all!

Coming from an immigrant family, I’ve always worked hard, starting with landscaping at the age of 8 to help support my family. I’ve held various jobs over the years – from working at stadium food vendors to becoming a bank teller and a financial advisor. I then went into working in property management for many years and was headhunted for an aerospace company where I am still employed. Despite my best efforts, I made a grave mistake that cost me over 100k in savings and even more in loans.

Initially, I wanted to learn about stock trading and believed I had found a trustworthy mentor. However, I was scammed out of everything I had.

The scammer used a fraudulent website, which I transferred funds into. It seemed legitimate for a long time, and I was slowly persuaded to trust this “mentor”…this “friend”. Over months, they taught me the trade, and we had successful transactions. I trusted their advice and invested everything I had, even taking out loans I couldn’t afford.

Initially, the trades were successful, but once I had invested everything, the website prevented me from withdrawing any funds. Soon after, both the website and the person I had been in contact with disappeared. By the time I realized I had been scammed, it was too late.

I feel incredibly foolish and naive for being taken advantage of so completely. I’m filled with self-loathing for falling for such a deception. I hate myself for being so stupid.

I’ve reported the crime, but unfortunately, there have been no developments. I’ve sold everything of value that I owned, but I’m still struggling to get by. I’ve lost my home and had to move in with friends. Every paycheck goes towards paying back the loans, leaving me with nothing. I’m finding it difficult to cover rent and afford food. I feel completely stuck in this situation.

Someone once told me, “Don’t take it as a misfortune, take it as you were someone’s prayer for help”. It’s hard to think so positively when I feel so hopeless. I’m overwhelmed with despair. It’s been over a year, and I feel like I’m drowning, sinking further and further into the abyss. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve considered ending my own life…but I’m a coward and can’t bear to be so selfish to my loved ones.

I know my story isn’t unique, and I don’t expect anything from you, but I’m reaching out for help. If you could offer any support or guidance, it would mean the world to me.

I’m incredibly grateful for your time.

This is all true and how it all happened.  I believe it is termed PIG BUTCHERING.

This is all true and how it all happened.  I believe it is termed PIG BUTCHERING.

A young woman called Diana direct messages me on Twitter and seems genuine and starts to build a rapport with me.
My profile already states I’m a husband and father, so I was not interested in romance, and she acknowledged that.
My gut instinct was to block her and ignore, but she’s very persistent to the point of me not being able to ignore her.
Claims to be a financially well off after retiring from a reputable financial institution and trading crypto currencies every now and then.
Has given her a great lifestyle, not just help with paying bills, she claims.
Introduces me to a crypto trading platform thru WhatsApp.

I start depositing small amounts at first.
The woman walks me thru live trading and shows me the profits in real time after seconds.
She also shows me pictures of her massive gains with the same trades.
Of course, unbeknown to me these were just numbers manipulated on a screen.

Obviously I am intrigued and fell for it at this point.  I deposit some more to the amount that was in my checking account at the time, about $4k.
I figured I could use this to trade and then withdraw soon after.  After trading and seemingly making a profit, I entered my bank details to withdraw funds.
Although the words “success” flashed on the system for a second, I noticed nothing had deposited in my bank account the next day.
Guided by Diana, I hit the online service button on the trading platform, and live support tells me the the bank transfer failed due to a mistake in the account number,
which they showed in a snapshot of the bank transfer receipt.
Online support then said that system restrictions were triggered by the incorrect bank account number where I had to deposit the equivalent amount in dollars in order to remove withdraw restrictions.
At the same a deadline was given where 2% was being withdrawn each day from my balance as a penalty!

Not having that much left  in my bank account, I needed to secure a small loan with my car as collateral.
After collecting the funds and depositing an additional $4k, the system still failed my withdrawal but this time because not enough trading transactions had been made.
I was told I needed to upgrade to vip level 2 where the minimum balance needed to be $18,888 and all restrictions lifted.
I waited for my March 2024 paycheck and literally put all of it into the account with the hopes of withdrawing it all soon thereafter.

Then I got devastating news that my mum had passed away in England.   Flew out there quickly and whilst waiting for the funeral arrangements to be made, this time the withdrawal to my bank failed again for some unknown reason.
Being in shock, I’m thinking all of this was legit at the time.  Now I’m told that the only way to receive the funds was for them to issue a check.
However, a check could only be issued with a minimum balance of $30k.
I reached out to family and friends in desperation borrowing $12k.  Deposited some more to reach $31k finally.

Surely now I was going to receive my money and pay off everyone I had borrowed from.
However, now I get a reply that the check will be issued from outside of the USA and that a VAT tax payment of $9k was necessary to be paid upfront before the check was issued.
At this point I woke up and realized it was a clever scam.

All in all I lost about $20k of my own funds, and $12k borrowed from friends and family.

Then in mid April I got laid off when I was expecting the April paycheck to help somewhat.
Come end of April, my paycheck was negligible, car loans were in default, bills are pending, credit rating has sunk and I still owe $12k.

Any help during this dire time in my life would be greatly appreciated and paid forward no doubt as I now understand how painful life’s unanticipated challenges can be.

A few months ago, my husband of 16 years revealed to me that he’s been having affairs with other women throughout our entire marriage. I do not judge him for this. Monogamy is not for everyone, but I do wish he would have expressed his desires before we committed to one another. However, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t heart broken. I have birthed and raised his 5 children, devoted my heart and soul to him and the kids, and lost my self-worth and identity in the process.

One vulnerable day I received a text offering me a position as a data optimizer for Yelp. I could work on my own schedule and make a decent cash flow. This felt like perfect timing because I wanted to make my own money so I could get my own place and establish some autonomy.

The position used Crypto to complete data optimization tasks and I was intrigued to learn more.

Two weeks in, I had been gradually manipulated to invest a total of $48000 of borrowed money into the yelp platform with the leading that I’d be able to withdraw all my funds plus generous commissions, once I completed all of my tasks. The day of task completion and the much anticipated withdrawal, the merchant says I did not complete the tasks on time therefore I could not withdraw unless I invest an additional $30k. Another heart breaking moment.

In hindsight, there were several red flags along the way, yet my desperation for freedom clouded my judgement. I realize now my vulnerable heart was not in a healthy space to make a proper assessment.

I am full aware there are greater needs in this world, way more tragic heart breaks than infidelity and way more devastating situations than my scammed heart. However, I’d appreciate the opportunity to pay off my debt of $48000, and continue to move forward with my vision to create a healing center for wives and mothers that have lost their sense of self. A safe haven for ladies to restore their confidence & creativity as well as embrace the skill of radical self-love.  

Thank you for reading and for your consideration.

Hi!  Thank you for reading my request.  I am a social worker in California and I am requesting some money to pay off my credit cards, pay a tax bill, and pay off some other miscellaneous secured debt.  Life is very expensive in California, which is why I am looking to pay off some debt and be able to move to a more affordable location.  I curently take care of my elderly mother, who lives with me and my husband who has Autism Spectrum Disorder.

In 2022, I left a job that I loved, but had a very toxic work environment.  I went to work for another (similar) company working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  My new company turned out to be very shady.  Caregivers weren’t background checked properly, patients were mistreated and put in harms way.  Management refused to do anything, so I ended up leaving that job and reported them to adult protective services.  Because I left the company, they did not pay me my final wages as retaliation.  I filed a labor dispute the same month, but it’s a very long process.  It is now 2024; the labor commissioner finally found that the company owes me wages due and penalties.  Now the company is refusing to pay.  I now have to go to court case to get the money owed to me.

I had planned to pay off my debt so I could move out of state, but this has really thrown a wrench in my plan.  I had to deplete my savings and use credit cards during the months I was out of work; and the money I was awarded was to pay off the debt and pay for a deposit and moving expenses.  My sister just got out of a horribly abusive relationship and needs help with her 5 year old.  I have a job and work from home, but live paycheck to paycheck as well as take care of my mom.  Because of all of this, we decided to move out of state to help my sister.  I don’t know when or if I’ll ever see that money from my previous employer.

So here I am, humbly before you; looking for a little breathing room.  I am requesting $10,000 USD, but honestly anything helps.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request and I hope to hear from someone soon.  Have a wonderful day.

I am a 63 year old male disabled and had my life savings stolen from me by a fake investment company. I was invested in the stock market with what money I had from an accident that has injured my back and I have had 3 surgeries and I am still in pain 24/7. I was trying to invest in the market on my own and I was not making any money and I could not work because of my injury but I needed more money to live. So I looked into having someone invest for me and I did my due diligence and the company came up with everything looking good. There were people recommending this company and I figured I would invest a little of my money and see how they did. I was Leary at first but the returns on my money were good. So to make sure everything was real and this was truly a good company I withdrew my money and I got back what was requested. So I’m thinking this company is legit and made some nice returns so I invested back in with my whole account because they were doing much better than I was and the account was growing nicely and as time went by it was getting pretty substantial and I wanted to take out my original investment and put some aside for each of my daughters and feel that they would have some money in case my account took a turn everyone would have a nest egg. I requested money and they said since it was over $500,000 I had to pay $100,000 insurance to get my money. I was telling them that’s ridiculous and they said that’s the policy. I said there was nothing about insurance once I got over any amount of money about this or I would have withdrawn before it reached that level. They said I had to pay or I would get locked out of my account and I would not be able to access my money. I said that’s BS just take it from my funds and they said it had to come from me. I was in shock and told them I did not have that kind of money and why would I have to give you more of my money to get my money. I knew I had been scammed and I cried like a baby. How could this happen to me. My life was looking very dark and I was so mad at myself for letting this happen. I called the police and the y said come in and fill out a report. I said what happens then? They said SLED would take it from there. I called SLED and they were not very interested and said that I should fill out a form that goes to the FBI and I did that. Did not get any response from FBI and went into debt to hire a firm that specialized in recovering stolen investment money. They located the company but it was not where it was supposed to be. Had a lawyer contact them and they were not even in California they were out of the country. It’s been 3 years and I am never going to see my money from that company. They have changed the name and disappeared. I had many sleepless nights and thoughts about being so stupid and ending it all but my daughters would have been devastated and I am going to my daughters wedding the end of this month. I sold my truck so I could help with the wedding costs and if anyone could find something in there heart to help me it would be very much appreciated. Thank you for reading this and God bless everyone.

Hi,

I am a server in a restaurant and during corona shutdown and right after it nobody was really using cash and navie me, I thought that cryptocurrency will be a next thing people will use for payment because nobody has to count it like cash or touch it like a credit card. In 2020 nobody wanted to touch anything other people handled. This gave me the idea to start buying Bitcoin. And so I did. But since the restaurant industry was very unpredictable and shaky, I also decided to learn how to trade it. So someone reached out to on Facebook and basically promised that she will teach me how to do just that. I did have to create an account on a trading site and I started sending money. The problem was is that when I was promised to take out my profits I was asked to sing up for another site. A different one. Apparently I had more than $27,000.00 in profile and I was asked to give them my bank account number which was the second red flag. And I didn’t give that up. However I m sitting here writing this after me sending them more than $5,000.00 because I am afraid to mention this to any of my friends who started buying crypto when I did. I now wish to have that money and just kept it to myself. I just really need the $5,000.00 back. I worked so hard for it. And I let myself scammed by someone in Japan (at least that was what the person from Facebook said she was).

Thank you so much for listening to my story and for your accomodations in advance.

Hi, I am a single 48 yr. old grandmother that cares for my grandbaby alone. I recently got scammed for over 3500 dollars, which was my rent and bill money. Which is a 1.5 months worth of paychecks that I work an average 60 to 70 hrs. a week to make. I applied online to a job offer to work from home for extra money! I fell fast into this scam as at first it was actually paying me decently at around 100 to 200 a day boosting ratings for online merchandise. Basically submitting 5 star ratings. Well the catch is they get you going earning small commissions and then they hit you with these orders that are higher then the amount of money you have in your account making you pay in order to receive higher commission, the higher the amount of the order you are rating the higher the commission so you get these orders that then make your account negative starting at 100 then you will build a bit more money after you transfer Bitcoin to the account then they hit you with another order and all of a sudden that’s 2500 to deposit and so on and so on and you have to submit 38 consecutive orders before you can withdraw your money… well the next thing you know in order to get back your money or in my case the last 2 deposits were 1000 then 2500 and then they thru a 9000 order at me and in order to get my 3500 back I had to deposit yet another 4600 so needless to say I couldn’t afford to deposit that to get my 3500 back out and because I didn’t submit 38 orders they say I didn’t fulfill my orders and now I cant get my money back. That’s how they get people they run the orders up so high to the point you are broke and they get your money now. I was told my money was safe the whole time that the money I deposited would always be mine and even I asked them to keep the commission I already made whatever, or why they couldn’t just tell the system I didn’t want the order anyway. I never confirmed the order ever the site is THEREVURY.NET affiliated with ZALANDOD.NET they pretend to be affiliated with THEREVURY.COM and even using they logo to look legit… I did contact the real site and they told me they had already reported them to the cybercrime, etc. and are trying to take them down but the scam is so horrible they literally have you depositing every dime you have until your broke trying to just not lose the money you already put in!! Even worse they have you transfer money via crypto thru money apps so you’re basically screwed on calling the banks about it. I have all the proof I was literally begging these people I’m going to be homeless with a baby they didn’t care 1 bit!! They told me to find the money or OH WELL! Acted like I was a quitter and scolding me for not finishing my work! I can’t believe this happened to me! I do have all the messages and all the transaction everything still in my phone proving what happened!! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile

As an educator dreaming of financial freedom and a retirement trip to Italy, I ventured into Bitcoin trading, drawn by promises of lucrative returns and debt clearance. I chose a seemingly credible platform and began optimistically with a “broker” who was going to guide me through the entire experience.

Initially, my investments flourished, fostering hopes of debt-free retirement. However, I was then faced with unexpected hurdles. To progress, I paid substantial “requirement fees,” unwittingly losing $17,000 crucial for my financial stability and monthly bills..

Deceived, my dreams were shattered.  My primary goal was to carve out a better future, free from debt and financial worries for myself and my loved ones. However, I now confront the aftermath of a costly deception, striving to reconstruct what was lost.

Betrayed and desperate, I want to rebuild what took years to save!  Despite adversity, I remain determined to reclaim control and pursue financial independence with the help of any donation amount and what little I have left living paycheck to paycheck now.

Thank you for coming to my post. It is a long and complex story, but I’ll summarize to the best of my ability as to why I am here writing this. And I wasn’t sure if I should put this in the Rent category or the Scam category but I flipped a coin and so here we are.

There is a much longer back story but essentially to keep it short and concise I am a 32 year old male. I was born and raised in Virginia, but tragedy struck at 19 and I lost a best friend in a motorcycle accident. At 20 years old I left everything I knew behind to come live with a buddy on the west coast in San Diego to start a new life, starting out with basically nothing, except a dream to build a life on my own terms, a strong work ethic, and a desire to never go back to my small home town where there is no opportunity.

From 2011 to 2019 I built my way up earning a living working 2 jobs: retail at minimum wage, and working in restaurants which yielded tips leading up to Covid, but I’ve not had much of a life because working all the time to keep rent paid in an expensive city leaves little time to actually go back to building a career. To keep it short, because this could get lengthy, during that time period I survived breaking my femur snowboarding, a car wreck where someone hydroplaned into me on my way back from the mountains ( on a different trip), a serious heartbreak of a toxic relationship, and an outright full blown alcoholic roommate.

In 2018-2019 I began really learning about investing via audiobooks and podcasts and YouTube before it is as mainstream as it is now. At that time I was somewhat of a “normie”. I was working in a bar as a bar back and had been for 4 or so years, and I realized that I was not going to be given the opportunity to become a bartender because honestly I didn’t know how to play the social game within the workplace. I didn’t know how to befriend the management in order to get moved up. Others were getting moved up that had way less seniority than me. I was just there to work and to work hard and so I became a great bar-back that was hard to replace. This capped my earning potential. I had been saving my tips for years and I around that time in 2019 I had quit drinking and found myself wondering why I was still working around alcohol. Then Covid happened.

I took my tips that I had been saving for years and did as Warren Buffet’s famous quote said “be greedy when others are fearful…..” and I went and bought Bitcoin literally at the bottom of the Covid crash. I figured there was no bigger fearful time in my lifetime than this and I was already used to living a frugal life that shutdowns didnt scare me so I had the greenlight to invest. I got into learning about trading and I also started a podcast (Main Reason Im Here Today) called Surfs Up Podcast (its on YouTube) where I interviewed other entrepreneur types and just cool people I found interesting around my community that were inspiring. Surfs Up motto is “To Inspire the Everyday Man With the Everyday Man”

~~~Fast Forward~~~

I made money in crypto and lost money in crypto but in the end I came out net positive. I decided trading wasn’t really for me or my calling and started to look for another venture. The podcast was my calling and I wanted to continue it but doing it all on my own with the prep time to learn about the guest, the production with all the gear, the editing, and the distribution and social media aspect all on me took up a ton of my time. It was a lot more than I realized and honestly I loved doing it, but facts are I wouldn’t be seeing any kind of income from the effort till many episodes down the road. Also, I did not want the money factor to pollute the passion I had for the project so I decided I needed to compartmentalize the two and I did not want to trade anymore (bear market was in and I realized I’m more of an investor type not a trader type).

I took what I had made in the crypto 2021 bull run and decided on an amazon automation service to build a cashflow source so I could have the time to give the podcast all of my time and attention so I could bring the most value to viewers. I wanted to give back because in the last 6 years of my life the bedrock of my personal development was podcasts, audiobooks, and YouTube. I wanted to build a platform to share with others in my own community and on the internet what I had learned and also to hear perspectives from guests I had on the show about their journey through entrepreneurship.

My plan as of June 2022 was to drive Uber for 6-12 months while the amazon automation team scaled the business and then I could really dig in on the podcast and drive Uber less. This plan did not come to fruition because either the amazon automation people were a complex long term scam or they are just very bad at what they said they were going to do and super underdelivered. I have tried for 19+ months now to work with them and they have neglected communications a ton during that time span. They have gotten my amazon account suspended 3 times even though they had claimed upon signing the agreement they were the “expert” and knew what they were doing. I have tried getting the CEO on the phone multiple times but he proxy’s himself from me with “account managers.” The account managers agree with me that he should give me a refund because they did not fulfill the contract but the CEO just throws the contract in my face (via email, still cannot get him on the phone) saying they don’t do refunds even though they never delivered on the other half of the contract where they were supposed to set up a Walmart store as well. Prior to signing I was told they used US based wholesale suppliers, but after they had my money when they actually “got to work” they just tried drop shipping in a manner that directly violated amazons terms of service. I feel like they pull investors in then they break policies on the clients stores so the client gets suspended and they get to keep the initial service fee with a bogus contract.

I cannot disclose the name of the amazon automation service because the contract says stuff about defamation. This brings us to the meat of the situation. I took everything I made in crypto and put it into this drop shipping model and now have nothing. I actually have less than nothing because I took out a business Credit card under the amazon automation teams directive for purchasing inventory where they went and broke their sales pitch and sourced from China resulting in a possible counterfeit product that resulted in the most recent suspension (where they are holding 7k of my money and I don’t think I’m getting it back because of the counterfeit goods policy). According to the contract I have no say as to what is listed and the team has autonomy of the listings and I am just to manage the capital. So, they are at fault for losing my money but will not admit fault. Well the account manager, as stated above,  does agree it is their fault but his boss the CEO will not sign off on a refund and is the real problem.

All this time I also drive Uber 40+ hours a week and Uber has slashed earnings in 2023. I’m barely making rent and I haven’t released a podcast in over 2 years now. Venturing out on my entrepreneurial path has left me with 3 years of no recent work history so getting a job in the restaurant industry is hard to break back in to (or really anywhere). I have been applying for 6 months but I do understand it is the offseason here and no one is hiring till spring/summer.

Now a few years into this rollercoaster ride and disaster situation I’m in has left me working all the time for very little pay (thanks Uber for screwing over drivers to keep shareholders happy). My health has taken a hit from all the stress and after 2 years of no nicotine I picked up nicotine again and I’m not proud of it. No alcohol though and I am super proud of that (I pretty much despise alcohol).

HERE is WHERE YOU the READER comes in.

I cannot afford a proper lawyer and I’ve researched and not found any lawyer that will take the case pro-bono as complex as it is and because it is a business dispute (even though its really just me vs a big private scam company that probably has a team of lawyers). over the course of the 19 months of this business venture I have tracked and recorded many of the wrong doings this scammy amazon automation company has done to me. I have spoken to a friend that is a law school graduate that says I have a strong case but he isn’t practicing and couldn’t take it on because he is in the depths of his own entrepreneurial career. I’ve also had the top of class Law student at a nearby university say the same thing but he is not barred yet and doesn’t have the experience.

What I’m asking for is 10k-30k+ to do these things:

1. Keep roof over my head, pay off debt, and buy time to execute number 2 below
2. Get a paid lawyer to take these guys down. They are bullying their clients with predatory contracts and shady business practices. Again I cannot disclose the name but if you were to pull up their name on the Better Business Bureau there are others that they are also doing this to. I have more than enough proof to take them down I just need the time and safe roof over my head in order to focus and do it. If I take them down then you aren’t just helping me but you are also helping other people not get screwed so your dollar goes way further than just helping me.
3. Get back to having some semblance of a life.
4. Get back to the podcast and actually injecting value into the world!

Thanks for reading and Blessings upon you!

Kindest Regards,
