I’m going to be 65 this year. I work for a company that has no health coverage, life insurance, retirement plan. I’ve been trying to invest on my own through the years, subscribing to various services, taking classes in person and virtually, all sorts of things to make enough income to leave this job. Now this job is relocating out of state and I will be looking at an ageism situation with regards to employment. I’ve been grateful for employment in general through the years and have been able to raise my 4 kids on my own. I work a 2nd job as a music teacher several nites a week that helps me to break even every month with rising cost of living. I do enjoy doing something meaningful, but it’s not that much $ and the 2 job sitch is exhausting. But THAT is not why I’m here. I wanted to give that as background. Like many my age, I get unsolicited invitations for this and that. I’ve gotten pretty good at weeding them out through the years and have not been victimized. Until now. Several months ago, I got involved with an online investing community, that through the weeks eased me into a place of trust–and hope. I thought it was a godsend if truth be told. It was for an ICO opportunity (Initial Coin Offering). Like an IPO for stocks, for new cryptocurrencies. It was allegedly a group “institutional” move. I started out for about a month of so just watching others on the sidelines because I was skeptical. I chatted with others (turns out they were about my age) in a chat and they reported they were having success. I eventually took the dive into the deep end. Initially investing smaller amounts. I had some rainy day money in my bank account. Gone. Then I had some stocks that were sitting idle that I closed and sent those proceeds. I converted my dollars into cryptocurrency and sent that. Bottomline is I converted all of my savings which amounted to about 50K to them. This is shaming to even write this here. It’s hard to even say these words because I’m a person if you met me, would never think I’d be that naive. There were yellow flags throughout the process, but the further I got into the deep end, the more I needed this to manifest as promised. There was a website that I was “trading” the new crypto I had purchased with my real money deposits. I watched those accounts grow. This sounds horrible so far. But THIS is not why I’m writing here. I would just write off this 50K to my stupidity and tell no one once I realized it was a scam. So here’s why I’m here: In order to get to “institutional status” for my account, I needed to have a 100K account size. With it would come tax advantages, etc. I didn’t have 100K. Heck, I had just cobbled together 50K liquidating this and that. The only thing remaining was a CC (and I wasn’t going to do THAT-“that would be stupid” I told myself). So instead I cashed in on my remaining resource–the equity in my home. I took out a Home Equity Loan to the amount of 101,500 @ 9.3% interest. I was on the cusp of withdrawing and I wanted to get the tax advantages. It went through without a hitch as I have great credit. I pay my bills on time, live within my means, don’t live fancy, no outstanding debts–I’m that guy. Then I tried to withdraw. I’m sure you can figure out what happened there. I was physically sick not only at the loss of an amount of money I have never had in my account at one time, but also sickened at the shame–stunned I could be that stupid. After all, I’m a clever, resourceful, industrious, intelligent person! So losing the 50K is well, I could just pick up a couple more part time jobs I suppose and work another ten years. But now there’s this 30 year $850 loan payment that will outlive me. I had plans for the Monopoly money I made: I was going to pay off my kids enormous college debts, give a nice wedding gift to my daughter to match her father’s, give a similar gift to my other 2 daughters who got married and I didn’t have the money at the time. I was going to pay off my mortgage, replace my 30 y/o carpeting, and give a large matching donation to my local church. I have some friends and family who need some assistance and I was going to help them. Instead, I let my dreams–my really nice intentions–blind me from the reality I was a victim of a malicious scam. The best outcome for me is to get this monster loan paid off in the next year or so–somehow! Thank you for reading my story.

I never thought it could happen to me. Like many of us, I was trying to build a better future. When I joined that Facebook group, It felt like I’d found a community of friends who understood the struggles of trying to get ahead financially. They seemed so knowledgeable , so confident. Their success stories gave me hope.

When they talked about this amazing opportunity in the Hong Kong stock market, I saw a chance to change my life,17000-that was my shot at a brighter tomorrow. It represented countless hours of hard work, sacrifice, and dreams.

The moment I realized it was all a lie, my world shattered. Those people I trusted, who I thought were looking out for me, had orchestrated a cruel scam! They portrayed on our hopes and left us with nothing but emptiness and betrayal.

17000 might now sound like much to some, but for me, it was everything. It was the vacation I’d promised my kids, the repairs my car desperately needed, the start of a college fund. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

The hardest part isn’t just the money. its the loss of trust, the feeling this same pain, this same shame. If you are one of them, please know its not your fault. We were deceived  by experts in manipulation. But together, we can heal we can warn others, and we can reclaim our power. Our stories matter, and by sharing them, we can protect others from experiencing this heartbreak!

Recuperating this money would mean more than just financial recovery. It would restore my faith in justice, give me hope for the future, and allow me to regain my piece of mind that I have been trying to get back for some time. Thank you and God Bless you for your help!!! My cash app is KCO1984

If anyone can help me not go bankrupt that would be Greatly appreciated !!!!!  I was scammed by Mike G. for about $50,000 and then many others while tring to find something to recoup my losses.  I all now totals up to over $60,000.  I am now working 7 days a week doing Uber just to keep up with all the credit cards I have charged up to the MAX.

I am 70 years old and do not know how much longer I can keep working 7 days a week.  If anyone out there can find it in their heart to give me a hand here that would be very nice.

Thieves took every penny from our bank account, leaving us with $0.00 balance before was $25,843.00.

Yes, they sure did!  Even our Veterans Disability Check.   My husband is a veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, he now has Stage 4 COPD, suffers from severe anxiety and PTSD.  I am a cancer survivor (non-hodgkins lymphoma) 14 years now.

We had every dime stolen from our bank account and due to the fact that we used a bank called Chime, we found out they are not FDIC insured and neither do they have protections in place for when you have been scammed.  We have filed every government and law enforcement report we could, and have been informed that due to the type of neo-bank there is little we can do to recover stolen funds.

We had finally after 3 years saved enough money to put a down payment on a home of our own since ours had burned to the ground 3 years ago.  We are not asking for a down payment, or anything like that.

We just need enough to get us thru until our next check arrives on the first of July, 2024.  Every bill we have could not get paid due to thieves wiping out our bank account.  They didn’t even leave us a penny, no money for food, electric, bills ANYTHING!

We are just asking for help to get us to the next month.  Any amount would be amazing and very appreciated, we need $5,612.38 for monthly expenses.  But, if not than anything will help.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

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.
