I was scammed out of 10k. I met a woman who wanted to share with me on how to make money with Cryptocurrency. For the past 6 months she was sharing pictures with me, and getting to know me. And later this month I was supposed to go to Miami Florida to meet her in person. After I had already bought the ticket. And last week she blocked me on WhatsApp. And now the site where I was doing the trading is closed. I had taken out a loan for $6000, as I was supposedly needed to pay for taxes before I could take money out of the account. And instead I was scammed. Now I’m struggling financially trying to pay off the loan. My PayPal account is Askwhy9494. Thank you and Gods blessings 🙏. Hopefully 🤞🏽 there are wonderful people in this crude world we now live in.

Send the letter to the U.S. Secret Service, your local FBI office, or the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. You can also register a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission’s Complaint Assistant.
- If you know someone who is corresponding in one of these schemes, encourage that person to contact the FBI or the U.S. Secret Service as soon as possible.
- Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as Nigerian or foreign government officials asking for your help in placing large sums of money in overseas bank accounts.
- Do not believe the promise of large sums of money for your cooperation.

Retiree in need
I retired in March 2023 after working in Healthcare for approximately 46 years as a Medical Orthotist/Prosthetist committed to the service of Mankind. I ventured into Private Orthotics/Prosthetics in 2005 as a self employed owner. Even though we were strugling financially it was extremely rewarding and satisfying. Then in 2010 I, who was the sole Orthotist and breadwinner, was struck down with Colorectal Cancer Stage 3. I had an Ileostomy bag which was removed after 2,5 years. Needless to say my company finances took a significant knock during my treatment which caused me to go begging for a position at the local government institution. I was accepted back into the system in 2015. At least I then had a steady income with which I could feed my family as well as repay the debt incurred during my recovery. I could also afford the endless medication associated with the aftereffects of the treatment. Newly acquired Diabetes, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis and unstable Angina accompanied my High Blood Pressure as part of my daily struggles. After the removal of my Iliostomy bag constipation became my nightmare however all these illnesses did not stop me from providing my best service to my clients. The worst though was still to come. Without any Counseling for my dreaded disease there was no preparation for the insecurities that followed – both financial and emotional. In 2021 I was completely overcome by my forthcoming retirement and my dire financial situation that I got swallowed by a bitcoin scam. Within this dark tunnel I lost all my life savings, my life policies and maxed my credit cards before coming to my senses. On awakening I was forced into Debt Review which has now become a complete nightmare during my retirement. During this dark period of my life I still fulfilled my normal working obligations even though it caused many health setbacks. Now only 2 years after my retirement I have reached rock bottom. I am in desperate need of money to cover my debt in order to get back on my feet. I pray that life will be merciful and that I will find the financial assistance so that I can once again continue my journey of assistance to mankind. Please assist with whatever you can. It will be highly appreciated. https://paypal.me/KeithStoffberg?locale.x=en_US&country.x=ZA

Lost $150,000 to a Scam — Please Help Me Rebuild
After a serious car accident, I lost the ability to work and turned to remote jobs so I could survive. Instead, I was targeted by a sophisticated scam and lost **$150,000**—everything I had saved to protect myself during recovery.
The shock and shame have been overwhelming. I’m struggling to cover basic necessities and have no safety net left. This loss has left me scared and uncertain about how to move forward.
I’m not asking for comfort or luxury—only for help getting through this moment and rebuilding some stability. Any amount, no matter how small, truly helps.
I understand skepticism online and don’t take anyone’s trust lightly. I’m willing to answer reasonable questions and provide clarification where appropriate.

I am Iryna Hugova, a Ukrainian, I am 62 years old. I live in the Czech Republic, rent one room. I work, and I have 11 months left until retirement. I fell for a scammer. Through persuasion and discussion, they convinced me to take out a bank loan. They robbed me. The loans need to be repaid, but I don’t have enough money. I need another $1,200. Please help me. I owe $25,000. Please help me collect $1,200 by December 20th. I already have the other half of the $1,000. How hard it is to ask at my age. My blood pressure has risen because of these nerves. Today I went to the doctor – they measured 190 over 117. Now I feel a noise in my head. Help me, kind people. I thank you.

A desperate plea for help with a $70,000 credit card debt from a scammer.
I am coming to you with a plea that strips me bare. I am broken, humiliated, and terrified, but I have nowhere left to turn. My husband is the best man I know. He works tirelessly, relentlessly, sacrificing every ounce of energy he has just to keep us afloat. Just recently, he had to take on the immense financial weight of his mother’s sudden and serious medical needs. We were already at the absolute breaking point. She just went through breast cancer and now her mind seems to be going.
And then I did the unforgivable. I was so unbelievably stupid and desperate myself that I allowed myself to be utterly manipulated and scammed out of more than $70,000. We can’t make the payments for that amount and any help lowering the amount would be so helpful.
The truth is crushing me. I have ruined us. I’ve destroyed our stability, our future, and every penny my husband has worked himself sick to earn. We have three children who deserve a secure future, and because of my catastrophic mistake, I have nothing left to give them. My husband is working himself toward an early grave.
I cannot look him in the eye. I am paralyzed by guilt and I’m so terrified about how this is affecting my marriage. The stress of the situation is truly wearing down our relationship. I know my husband loves me, but our relationship has been changed by this horrendous mistake I’ve made. He doesn’t even know I’m doing this, because he’s a proud man who would be incredibly embossed to ask for help.
We are desperate. I am begging you—from the very depths of my soul—to please offer any help you can so we can pull our family back from this financial ruin.

Struggling Father of 4
I am humbling myself by coming here to ask for help. I thought I could do this on my own and dig out of the hole, however with increasing cost of living and the mounting medical bills from surgery I had to have to repair a hernia as well as my daughter having to see specialists for her Lypodysrophy, the bills are getting over burdensome. I am hoping someone can help me get out of this hole so we do not lose our house. My wife and I both work fill tome and we are unable to just work more to meet the needs.
I pray that someone is willing to help us. We are in a dire situation. We only owe approximately 50k on the house and 30k on a vehicle. We did not want to have to buy a vehicle but we had to in order to ensure the safety of our kids in transportation to and from the places we go. We did not have enough room in the vehicle we had. My paypal is paypal.me/nmcisco. Anything that can be offered would be extremely helpful. I have 2 kids in daycare and the cost continues to rise and I am worried that I will not be able to afford to live soon.
Justice
Dear Sir or Madam,
This letter is aimed at letting you know about a fraudulent scheme I fell victim to some time ago. I
was contacted by individuals claiming to be employees of a certain firm ofering me to earn money
remotely by investing a portion of my funds. Initially, they provided what seemed to be genuine
information, and due to the professionalism they displayed, I trusted them.
Unfortunately, due to my lack of experience in this domain, I did not recognize the suspicious nature
of the firm at the time. This eventually resulted in a significant financial loss of 144000 USDc.
Realizing that I had been scammed, I immediately began investigating the matter on my own. After
conducting a thorough analysis, I discovered that all of the stolen funds had been
transferred to several suspicious cryptocurrency wallets registered on platforms.
On 06th March 2024, I submitted a formal letter of dispute to all of those platforms informing them of the situation
and requesting their assistance in recovering my funds.Unfortunately I did not receive an answer
that could have been considered as an acceptable one for me so I decided to begin a deep
investigation into those platforms obligations as an entity, licensed in South Africa and other places.
From my findings, I prepared a formal challenge letter, which I sent on 13th August 2024,
referencing the failure of those platforms to comply with regulatory guidelines. Those platforms informed me that they are
not responsible for my loss less than an hour after sending the letter. I do consider it to be
unacceptable.
I am now reaching out to the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, as the regulatory body responsible
for overseeing cryptocurrency exchanges in South Africa and other places.
A long time has gone now and no result. We are in deep financial problems and that’s why we are reaching out for help my family and I.
Sincerely a desperate family

$6000 dollars in debt
Hi
A few months ago, I became the victim of an online scam that resulted in a loss of nearly $6000, money I had worked very hard to save. The scam started out as what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity, presented in a professional and convincing way. I did my best to verify the source, but unfortunately, like many others, I fell for it. The person behind it disappeared, and the funds are now gone, with no way to trace or recover them.
This incident has left me in a very difficult situation, not only financially, but emotionally. The amount lost was more than just savings, it was my emergency buffer and future plans. I’ve reported the case and contacted the proper authorities, but the chances of recovering the money are slim.
I’m not asking for the full amount back — I know times are hard for everyone. But if you’re in a position to help, even a small contribution would mean the world to me. Every bit helps, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any support as I try to rebuild and move forward.
Thank you for reading this and for considering helping someone who got caught in a bad situation. If you’ve ever made a mistake or trusted the wrong people, I hope you understand.
If you would like to help, here is my Ethereum (ERC20) wallet address:

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
PLEASE HELP SAVE MY LIFE
Please help me. I am in a lot of debt. For around 6 years I have been slowly put into a scam situation where all my savings, my family, my house, my car and even my job has been lost. For around 6 years ago, I was searching the web for some extra work so that I can earn little bit more money for my family as my job income was not enough. I than came across a website where they said that they can help better people’s life. I called them and they promised that they can make my life better by helping me succeed. They also opened an account under my name and gave me the logins saying that it is my account. Everything seemed so legit as I never seen anything like it before and plus having the login for the account made it look legit. They said that they will add money into the account for my business project and help me invest that money for progress. They said that I can withdraw the money but I have to pay some fees in order to do that. Even my wife fell for this as all the documents and details they provided seemed legit. They kept asking for payments and fees etc. as I didn’t thought that I have been scammed since I was able to transfer a small amount from that account into my own account as the organization allowed it saying that it will verify my account so it all seemed legit. They kept coming up with excuses and in the process I gave all that I saved for my family and even took out loans to pay for all the fees they kept requesting in the hope to receive what they promised to help. I am a very simple person and never came across any scammers or situations like this. Now they have completely disappeared when I finally got mad at them as after so long I haven’t got anything from what they promised and left me in so much debt. Due to this process, frustration and debts, I am now separated from my wife and my only daughter whom I love very much and miss her a lot. I even have to leave the country and now I am in New Zealand. Please anyone, help me with whatever you can as I would like to get my life back and also my wife and daughter back. Please help me and free me from all those debts which has been really troubling me and I even thought of taking my own life so many times since whatever I tried to build, I have lost them all but if you can please help with whatever you can than it might help restore my life and my family back quicker since at this present moment, I am totally lost. Please help. Below is my PayPal link and any little help will be highly appreciated. God bless you.

A Desperate Cry for Help — Please Don’t Let This Be the End for Me
Life has a way of testing even the strongest among us, and right now, I’m at a point where I can no longer pretend to be okay. I’m writing this with a heavy heart, hoping someone somewhere can understand my pain and offer a helping hand not out of pity, but out of shared humanity.
A few months ago, I became a victim of a cruel internet scam. I was desperate, trying to find a way out of some financial challenges, and I trusted the wrong people. What started as hope quickly turned into a nightmare. I lost every kobo I had and more money I was responsible for. That single mistake has now placed my entire future on the line.
I have until the end of July 2025 to pay back the money or face criminal charges. The EFCC is involved, and if I fail to return the money, I risk being thrown behind bars. Every day feels like I’m carrying a mountain on my shoulders. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. I’m watching my life fall apart in slow motion, and I’m terrified.
This is not just about me I have family depending on me, and the thought of them seeing me locked up for something I didn’t maliciously do is killing me inside. I’m begging, not because I want to, but because I have no other option. I’ve reached out to friends, sold everything I could, and exhausted every possible source of help.
If there’s anything you can do no matter how small please, I need your help. I’m not proud of this moment, but I believe in the kindness that still exists in people. Your support can be the lifeline that helps me climb out of this darkness and rebuild my life with integrity.
Please help me settle this before the deadline. Even if it’s just a word of encouragement or a small contribution, it means the world to me right now. I am praying, trusting, and believing that this cry will not go unheard.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring. May God bless you and repay your kindness a hundredfold.

Victim of Scammers
I recently applied for an online job hoping to make extra money for my family. I researched the company and they seemed to have a good reputation. I now know that these were scammers impersonating that company. Over the course of several weeks I had to deposit several large sums of money in order to withdraw my deposits plus the commission I’d made. In order to do that, I had to take out a short-term loan and use our truck as collateral. I’ve also borrowed money from friends, received a loan from my employer and used every penny of my savings. I now owe $40,000 to people and will lose our truck in 2 weeks if I can’t pay the money back. I am so embarrassed to have let this happen and completely devastated. If anyone could find the kindness in their heart to help me I would be eternally grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! paypal.me/BlessedMama66, CashApp: $JodiVanDerhagen, Venmo: @Jodi-VanDerhagen
Help Us Recover and Continue Supporting Youth Aging Out of Foster Care
We are reaching out with heavy hearts and a hopeful spirit.
Our organization recently fell victim to a devastating scam that cost us funds we had set aside to provide housing for youth aging out of the foster care system—young people who rely on us during one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives.

We need your help to recover what was lost so we can continue this vital mission. Every dollar you give will go directly toward rebuilding our housing initiative and ensuring that these incredible young people don’t fall through the cracks.
If you’re able, please consider donating today. Together, we can turn this setback into a comeback—and show these youth that they are not alone.
Thank you for standing with us.
