I moved down to vegas with my mother an 2 brothers we stayed out there and went to school an worked my mother couldn’t keep up with rent with all of us and we where not making any money since we are too young to work full time so we had to move into a youth Homeless shelter i moved all my clothing an bedroom into a storage and tried to stay up with payments but it just costed way too much. while i was working i told an co-worker my problem and he said i could move in with him and pay him 400$ every 2 weeks for rent before i moved in he told me he was having a bit of trouble i asked him more about it he just said he needs to catch up with rent never told me that he was not paying rent. i moved all my Stuff out the storage and moved in with the guy everything was going good had to deal with bugs but everything was fine i asked him if i could move my 2 brother out the shelter cause they didn’t like it there and we was never raised around people like that he said yes and i moved them in got them a job where i was working an we was planning to work everyday an get as much overtime we could so we could move out cause we didn’t know they guy very well and we wanted to get our own spot. few more days later i get a call while im at work one of my brothers get back to the house and there’s an police officer and landlord telling us that the owner of the household has not been paying rent we asked him what he was doing with the money but he didn’t answer so he was taking all our money without paying the rent i had nowhere else to go so i had to leave some of my stuff and furniture behind cause i had nowhere to put it. i ended up being taken back with my father an getting back on my feet in my home town and i got accepted in a housing program so i will be moving into a apt but i have no clothing or any furniture
so thats why im here asking for a donation to at least get a bed to sleep on and food while i try to find a good job and get my 2 brothers out the shelter

I am hoping that someone will help if only to restore my faith in the goodness of people. I will not lose my home or car and am not starving but on the other hand I haven’t been careless with money or got involved in drugs, alcohol or illegal behavior. I am only in this pricadement because of my great (but in retrospect) very foolish generosity.  I wish there was something besides a link to the paypal account, if so then even if people don’t feel drawn to donate, they could send me encouraging words.

I am asking for a total of 30K, and have sustained losses for far more but this is the main part.  I had taken in some people who were homeless to help them and me out. One was a gentleman who I became very fond of, and he was supposed to work in exchange for housing, he took advantage of me and did little work but he got the housing, he did have outside jobs but he still couldn’t make it on his own.  He had a car someone had given him but it had constant problems so he wanted to borrow money for a car, I loaned him around 7K and he disappeared shortly thereafter.”  Another person I took in said he could flip cars with me, I’d buy them and he’d fix them up. I bought the car for $700. He also left and took the car with him.

I took someone else in, who turned out to be a con man, I had no car and used a lifeline phone, but he always had some story about being mugged, (which)  and I believed his story when he was picked up my police that it was because they suspected he had drugs but he didn’t (the police released him and would not state anything about him) so had to believe him.  He had too many incidents where he was mugged and I used to worry about him so I finally told him he had to leave as I was always worrying about him. He said he got a job with Halliburto in Texas, lost money I gave him  on the way (I trusted him because he got an insurance check which he turned over to me, weeks after I gave him cash for it, the check was returned, but stupid me, thinking he would pay me back and he was somewhere else unable he said to cash his Halliburton check due to i.d. problems-he had none when I met him as he said he was mugged (he was mugged all the time). I constantly lent him money because he couldn’t cash his paychecks and though I DID try to contact him through Halliburton they NEVER returned my calls until at the end when I found out he was scamming not only me but another family.  I had a friend who said he was scamming me, but I was so trusting I defended him.

Had other people who I let stay, one who was African American who had a job but said the friend was going to let him stay with him when he came to L.A. but changed his mind  when he came and because he was black had a hard time finding a place as he hadn’t got his paycheck yet, and also helped him get a bike, he did pay me something but it was for either the bike or rent, because what he gave me was only enough for one,  a girl who I thought was a friend who just exploited me again, living for practically free and doing nothing, another man who I believed brought bed bugs. A couple who said again, they would pay me when they got paid, helped pay their phone bill and when it came time to pay, came up with all these excuses and then just left . Another who only wanted to borrow cash for a few days to buy bikes to resell but never paid me back.

Years ago another was a person who had his car impounded costing him hundreds a day, said he needed a quick loan until his dad sent him money, once he got it from me, he didn’t pay, this was a guy who wanted to make Chrittian movies! Another needed money for his business and was going to take a life insurance policy to pay me back, went for open heart surgery and his gf told me he died and there was no policy and the car he gave me a pink slip for his car was sold.

The last one was a man I met, who seemed different from the rest who had a home and had a business plan that I really was persuaded that this could work. When it was time to pay, he at first got angry with me saying I was too impatient, then started putting me down, saying i was a woman who couldn’t understand things, avoiding my calls and then maybe changed his number as his voicemail is in Spanish now.  Because I had documentation from him and knew he had assets, contacted lawyers who told me that although the amount too high for small claims. the amount was not worth their time and the interest he said he would pay me was too high and not legal.

The last incident is just too terrible to think about as it’s a professional, a dentist who scammed me.  She charged My medicare insurance for a partial she never made and then closed her office and left the U.S. probably to Venezuela where she was from with the money.  I found out later when I wanted to use $1800 for an implant it was gone.  I waited until I could get enough from my insurance the next year but by then I needed a bone graft for the bone got lost during that period as I had to wait a year for the allowance, so still have no  implant as had to wait until the end of this year, what’s worse I suppose is the customers who wrote a review on Yelp about her and said she took off with their deposits for future work.

The police won’t do anything both as a civil matter and probably because they think I’m an idiot and deserve it I guess.  I don’t have a lot of money and when they ask me they tell ME they won’t accept the money as a  gift but only as a loan as they knew, I don’t have a lot of money.  I could forgive the loans but instead of contacting me and offering to pay in payments or asking forgiveness for it, they just lie and avoid me.

I won’t be homeless and starving but although I am not as mentally ill as some who write here, I feel depressed and sometimes feel suicidal to think I am so stupid. I am an elderly woman in her sixties and maybe I do things foolishly to combat my being lonely even though I make an effort to go out and about.  I had diligently scrimped and saved which is why I had the money to lend in the first place and now I have to live on credit cards and pay high interest rates because of the money being gone.  As I said, maybe people don’t want to give me much, but anything will help me think that people can be good and honest. `

I can’t remember everyone’s name but if you run into a Jeffery Micheal “Hoss” Johnson, William “Damian” Chase or Leland Zales who were the most egregious scammers, please do a background check on them to be sure they aren’t the same men who scammed ME.

I am hoping that someone will help if only to restore my faith in the goodness of people. I will not lose my home or car and am not starving but on the other hand I haven’t been careless with money or got involved in drugs, alcohol or illegal behavior.

Hello, 

I hope you are doing well, and thank you for reading this post. I am requesting your assistance in paying off a personal loan that I took out for an investment opportunity that turned out to be a scam. The investment was meant to be short-term, and I planned to repay the loan within the first year. Unfortunately, the funds I used for this “investment” disappeared within the first month of my taking out the loan in 2021, and after treading water for over a year, I am now running out of personal funds to pay the remainder. Unfortunately, the scammers involved are not under any government jurisdiction I can approach for assistance. I have approximately $60,000 remaining on the loan, each monthly payment is roughly $1,500, and I have about three months of funds left before I am out of money. 

I am a husband and a father of two, and I feel very ashamed of the position I have put myself and my family in. I know it was a terrible mistake, and I am doing everything possible to pay off the loan myself, but I am running out of options. I have worked to generate other sources of income, which has helped me stay afloat over the past year while continuing to make loan payments. Still, I have a full-time job, which leaves me with limited time each day to make enough to keep up with the loan payments on top of our family’s other monthly expenses, which we have made many cuts to already to make ends meet as the cost of living continues to rise. Also, my parents are not in a position to help as they are both retired with little set aside for retirement, both working part-time jobs to make ends meet. The only other funds I have are those in my retirement account.

Any financial assistance you could provide to help me pay off this loan would be appreciated and cannot be understated. I am saddened and ashamed to be in a position to have to ask for help from others, but I am thankful for sites like this that allow me the opportunity to ask others for help when it is desperately needed. Your contributions will help secure my family’s financial future by preventing me from draining my entire retirement account to pay off this loan.

Thank you for your consideration.

Good day everyone,

I put it down as scammers, but it has been a lot more than that to me. I am looking for financial help after being attacked in January of 2021, hospitalized for 3 months and then having my bank account and credit cards hacked from the people that jumped me while I was in the hospital when I couldn’t freeze the accounts.

I suffered a traumatic brain injury and a few broken bones, but the worst part came when I left the hospital. I quickly got overwhelmed by the massive debt that the banks and credit card companies were unwilling to help with because of how long it took me to report and the inability to continue school.

I have been trying my best to keep payments on time, but a couple fell through the cracks and the interest rates on some of this debt is making it impossible to make a dent. I have no family support or help and the way the economy is, rent comes first so it just seems like a losing battle.

I’ve attempted to get a consolidation loan to help with the interest but have been denied because of the amount of credit usage and now the missed payments. I’ve reached out to financial advisors and the recommendations I have received is “pay more than the minimum” which with this economy is unrealistic if I want to have a home, car for work and feed myself.

I hate asking for help and I hate “complaining” or making excuses about the situation I am in. I’ve been through a divorce, was medically separated from the military and continuously find myself in the best worst-case scenarios possible. Yes, I am not dead after being attacked but having crippling debt that never seems to get lower is taking a toll on my mental health.

Over the last year and some change, I have worked on finding a solution or plan to pay down the debt to help me out, but the interest keeps beating me. Originally, these cards were only around for extreme emergencies, and I never planned on using them for anything more, but the thieves had a different idea about that.

Getting help with this debt would ultimately change my life. It would help rebuild my credit so I can stop renting apartments and get a home. It would help me mentally and get through life with a breath of fresh hair. This debt is always suffocating me and it’s always on my mind because I know the damage it is doing to my life and how much it is holding me back. I appreciate everyone that took the time to read this whether you help or not. I just appreciate it.

My goal is $30,000 to get Citi, Discover and Navy Federal off my back. Thank you again if you do decide to help.
