Just seven months ago I had a credit rating of 815 and paid all my bills at the end of the month and lived within my means. A friend came to me and asked for help with a cell phone bill and internet. It was my pleasure to assist. Within a few days she needed help with a water bill because it was shut off. She then came to me because she and her brother were going to be evicted in 3 days if I did not help her pay $4890. She shared with me that she would be coming into money, and that she would share with me the proceeds. The only caveat was this company required “fees” for the two cars in storage she was to receive, and they would be shipping it on a flatbed by UPS from Las Vegas. She was also supposed to pay all her taxes for the multimillion dollars she was to receive upfront. They would send her invoices for the payments she paid and for the payments I made. Mind you, all of these payments had to be made either by Zelle or MoneyPak. The invoices would gradually go down as she made the payments but there always seem to be problems with MoneyPak’s saying someone had used the cards before they received them. So, we lost those amounts to “scammers.” They were constantly promising they were going to be at her house as soon as all fees were paid and delivery would be done. There was also the statement they were raising money on her behalf by donors if she promised to double their payment after she was paid. Over the last seven months, I have paid many “fees” by getting cash advances on credit cards and buying MoneyPak cards and sending them to this company to the point that I have completely drained my savings and run up my credit cards and taken out loans in the amount of over $40,000. I would like to think I was a smart woman at the age of 57 (who is disabled) but I got caught up in the promise of a payday that I know now is never going to come. I became involved in this fraudulent activity. I am ashamed and now destitute and am now coming to you to ask for your help. I am terribly ashamed, and I do not know what else to do but beg. My credit score currently is 470. I am an ordained minister and wanted to help people but now I am truly destitute. Whatever you can do to help would be appreciated.
