REGARD TO YOUR FAMILY THANK REGARD TO YOUR FAMILY If you receive an email like this forward/send it to the local authorities with the email address! This is Fraud according to the http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud – “Nigerian Letter or “419” Fraud Nigerian letter frauds combine the threat of impersonation fraud with a variation of an advance fee scheme in which a letter mailed from Nigeria offers the recipient the “opportunity” to share in a percentage of millions of dollars that the author—a self-proclaimed government official—is trying to transfer illegally out of Nigeria. The recipient is encouraged to send information to the author, such as blank letterhead stationery, bank name and account numbers, and other identifying information using a fax number provided in the letter. Some of these letters have also been received via e-mail through the Internet. The scheme relies on convincing a willing victim, who has demonstrated a “propensity for larceny” by responding to the invitation, to send money to the author of the letter in Nigeria in several instalments of increasing amounts for a variety of reasons. Payment of taxes, bribes to government officials, and legal fees are often described in great detail with the promise that all expenses will be reimbursed as soon as the funds are spirited out of Nigeria. In actuality, the millions of dollars do not exist, and the victim eventually ends up with nothing but loss. Once the victim stops sending money, the perpetrators have been known to use the personal information and checks that they received to impersonate the victim, draining bank accounts and credit card balances. While such an invitation impresses most law-abiding citizens as a laughable hoax, millions of dollars in losses are caused by these schemes annually. Some victims have been lured to Nigeria, where they have been imprisoned against their will along with losing large sums of money. The Nigerian government is not sympathetic to victims of these schemes, since the victim actually conspires to remove funds from Nigeria in a manner that is contrary to Nigerian law. The schemes themselves violate section 419 of the Nigerian criminal code, hence the label “419 fraud.” Tips for Avoiding Nigerian Letter or “419” Fraud:

If you receive a letter from Nigeria asking you to send personal or banking information, do not reply in any manner. 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.
Guard your account information carefully.”

Scammed out of $7700

Hello,

I am a 80% disabled veteran whose bank account and paypal account was hacked. Whoever this evil person is, they took the money in increments during sleeping hours and sent it to themselves. They labled the money as Tuition! I don’t even know this person! I contacted Paypal to get them to stop the payment and they say they could not because it was sent via friends and family. This person is a stranger I don’t even know them! Paypal said I needed to speak to the bank and let them know what was going on. I spoke to the bank and they said paypal probably won’t refund the money because it’s saying I sent it through a family and friend transfer. AS i’m speaking to them on the phone and logged into my account, I get a notice of a wire transfer $2500. This person actually was real time trying to wire themselves money from my account. Trying to take my last $3000! The bank was able to stop this. I also got notice that the person tried to add themselves to my bill pay…and tried to set up weekly bill pays to them. I was able to get another name from this wire transfer and they said since they weren’t able to take the $25oo, is to contact their bank information on file from the wire transfer and alert them that the account is a fraudulent account, which I did. I then received threatening texts to the phone number on my file with the bank from number I don’t know in Minnesota saying if i want my money back to send them my info so they can put it back. And they after I refused they started threatening me! Saying, they didn’t need my pin to get what was left in the account. I called the bank back again. They think the new account is safe, no one seems to be helping me get my money back. They took a total of $7700. I was able to save $3000 by opening a new account and moving it there. I’ve been on the phone two days with the bank. I am distraught. I have a family, and limited income. This isn’t right. We are good people. We don’t bother anyone. I have a 5 year old son. I just want what I’ve lost back. Nothing more…I’ll even take less. I’ll take anything at this point. If you can donate something. Please send it to : paypal.me/PaulaCT

Disabled Mother of 3 got scammed

Hello, my name is Rachel, I’m 35 years old and I am medically disabled, I have 3 very smart and beautiful kids ages 12, 13, 14. Recently I found out that I had been scammed, little by little over time I was scammed and robbed.

I was talking to this man on twitter and he was looking for a sugar baby with no sex, he missed his daughter so much, she was murdered by her boyfriend last year and he’s still on the run. He told me that I looked a lot like his daughter and wanted to know if I would pretend to be his daughter and if so he will pay off any and all debt that I may of had.

I should have never trusted him, after a week of talking to him he deleted his Twitter account which removed all of our messages from each other, that was red flag #1 that I ignored, I felt sorry for him and thought it may have been a depression thing, because I too suffer from depression.

He contacted me on hangouts and asked for my log in information for my credit card so he could deposit a check into my account, which I did give it to him like an idiot he deposited a fraudulent check, he kept asking me to get gift cards for him which I lied and made every excuse why I was unable to because something didn’t seem right and I changed my password which really didn’t sit well with him but by then he already spent $200 of that scam money.

He then asked me to set up a bank account where he could deposit a check being I had to close my other account due to someone stealing over $500 out of my other bank account which was almost my entire months bills (which I shouldnt of done) but being some how some way someone stole access to it they blamed me for giving that out which I NEVER did. I had to max my c.c out due to it thus was the reason why he wanted to deposit that check in my c.c account.

I opened a discover account and he deposited a check for $1,411.00 which I didn’t spend and once he did I changed password because again something felt “off” I waited a few days for check to be added and something told me to check what that check looked like. Thank God I did.

It was from the department of treasury and it was a “tax return” check which I haven’t worked for several years now and have been disabled since 2013, I immediately reported all of this to the united states department of treasury and called discover, I gave them all the information. This guy used scare tactics, refused to give me a recent picture of him holding a calendar with the date circled and told me that I was a scammer when he is the one that contacted me to be his daughter….

I’m so ashamed, so embarrassed, I failed as a mother, a wife… I trusted once again and I got hurt, but this time he stole from my kids as well, and he was a DAMN good scammer, but got all rude with me when I called him out on it telling me that I was “playing” smart with him.

I wish I never trusted and come to find out, my old bank believe that this scammer is the same one that hacked my bank account, it was all done over a computer with very similar IP addresses, so now I’m in debt of almost $2,000.

I now see why the bank thinks that, this guy contacts me out of the blue, and messages me saying what he did.

I now don’t have enough to buy necessities for our home or had enough to pay all my bills for the month, my husband can’t work either due to severe health issues, and I’m afraid to tell him, I had to borrow money to pay my bills, he has his own bills.

I don’t expect anyone to help, but I’m begging for help, I am begging for mercy, I was able to get some screen shots of our messages for proof.

So please don’t hesitate to ask and I will gladly provide the proof, If anyone can help me at all I would be so grateful, my payment information is listed below. Thanks for reading and may God bless you

Increasing seizures and holiday scammers

A couple of months back my dear old mother, who I live with, just us two as her husband and my father passed and I was younger. We don’t have contact with the rest of her family anymore.

She is the sweetest most intelligent funniest goofiest Woman you could ever know with quite the Pedigree and her masters at a private college.

As of Late has become increasingly difficult financially for the two of us in terms of her aging (but an inspiring kindred spirit) and dealing with intermittent periods of unemployment

Partially due to the fact of a bit of age discrimination it’s hard for her to get jobs despite the fact she has twice the experience of those people applying for positions she is well overqualified for

she’s a sweet woman with the best of intentions but her sense of paying attention to detail and recalling things will slowly fade for her

she recently I’ve been scammed by someone who had come to her under the guise of a mechanic at the shop that we usually go to

As I was not particularly involved in this whole situation

A night or 2 prior her car had broken down on the side of the highway and she was unable to afford a tow, he promised to tow it for her, now that’s 2 for 2 as Additionally

My car was also out of commission as my starter was broken and he said that he would fix that as well

He ended up Putting a broken part in my car receiving the rest of the payment for a previous brake job my mom got at the shop he had been employed at and took it for himself never gave her ignition key back never told her car

Leading to it getting towed and has been completely out of options as she used the very last of her money to try and save our employment situations by making it possible for us to get to and from

(Her job involves helping the community and seeing her clients at their homes or at her office all throughout the day sometimes 2030 minutes apart in destinations)

In the end, she ended up taking my car To another shop to get it fixed paying full price while her car was in an impound lot with no way to afford to get it out keep in mind she had to tow it from the impound lot to a shop all the while she couldn’t get inside because the scammer had left with her keys and all the money she gave him

This was three days before Christmas

As for lack of my involvement financially it’s due to a recent string of seizures and medical issues that he began to arise and have yet to be totally resolved

I went from grand mal seizures (once while driving) to partial complex seizures, dealing with hypoglycemia and severe panic attacks with no real way to offer as much support as I would’ve loved to

The days in between going to my neurologist and dealing with different health issues the restaurant business gets very very slow in the winter

Ranging from about $20 a day to 70 maybe 80 a day and being shorted scheduling wise (with understandable justifications)

Working the early part-time every day the very little I had I’d end up using for toilet paper or paper towels or dog food which is another struggle of itself The tide is just been rising in my usual “yin and yang” philosophy towards life and understanding that everything will resolve itself and time incorrectly I slowly been fading into a more jaded attitude. Rent, car insurance (that’s recently skyrocketed due to the neighborhood we recently moved to,any bit of food to eat or gas for transportation to our jobs that we so desperately need and want has been like finding a needle in a haystack.

Be that it is as it may Life continues as it always does but limited resources, family, and medical restrictions have led me here and I think anyone for even taking the time to read my poor sap of the story they only do the anonymous person reading this I’m usually much funnier and this was even a drag for me to write assuming I haven’t totally run a dark cloud and severe rain over your hopefully positive day

It would mean absolutely everything to me if anyone could help no Amount too small

Not a microsecond of your time spent reading this goes unappreciated. I am humbling looking for anything between $10 to $1300 to get us back on our feet.

And if humans aren’t your thing, my blue nose pitbull puppy, old man jenkins (8 year old yorkie) and cherub of a cat would appreciate it dearly.

All the love to you Anonymous reader, Godspeed

I’m in a really bad situation and I need some help

Hi there Dear Stranger!

I’m in a really desperate situation, and I could really use some help, let me tell you my story briefly.

I’m 24 years old girl, who moved to London almost 3 years ago. I’ve had financial problems in the past but not as big as the one I’m currently in.

I quit my job in September, cause I really needed a change, and I also went to travel for a bit. After I came back from my travels, I got a job quite quickly but I was short on cash, so I’ve decided to apply for a loan online. On the 14th of November I got an email from a company saying I got approved for a loan, but before they can pay my amount I need to prepay my first installment, because my credit score is not the best, and this way I can prove to the lender that I will be able to afford the monthly repayment. I sadly sent them the money, and then sent them some more.

I know now, that it was a scam, and to be honest with you I feel really stupid about it, but I was really desperate given that I had/still have bills and rent to pay. And they told me that I’ll receive a refund on all the money I sent, they were really nice and helpful, and they made me feel like I was in safe hands. I ended up sending them £1500, and the worst part is, it wasn’t even my money, a friend helped me out, because I promised her she gets back the money in no time. I’ve reported this company to the appropriate authorities, and thanks to god I have a nice friend so she doesn’t hate me blowing her money, but I’m out of everything and I have no one who could help me, that’s why I’m turning to the internet, and to You.
I’m days away to live on the streets, I have -£500 in my account with an empty fridge and a crushing amount of dept. I’m going from one loan company to another, I’m applying to part time jobs to get some other income next to my main one, but the loan companies keep turning me down, and even if I get a second job it’s not going to pay in time, and even it it would, it still wouldn’t be enough. The minimum amount of money I need is £1500, so I can catch up on my bills and rent – one less thing to worry about!
I’m really anxious and depressed by this whole thing, so if you could help me with a little I would be so so happy!
My PayPal is paypal.me/tiborbala

Thank you so much for reading this and kudos to you if you decide to help!

Have a nice day!

Ps: my post image is my paypal.me image, so you know you’re sending money to me, if you decide to do it.

A Scammer Ruined My 20-Year-Old Life

A few months ago, an old friend that I knew when I was only a child reached out to me on social media after I tweeted about how I was struggling financially and that I needed to win the lottery. She told me about a man that she had known who was basically her “sugar daddy” but all she did was talk to him and keep him company. She told me she had to stop doing it, because her fiancé was not comfortable with it. She then asked if I would be interested in replacing her. Me, being 20 years old and naive, said “Sure!” Thinking, what’s the worst that could happen? I mean, all I had to do was talk to the guy. I started talking to him, my boyfriend knowing about it and encouraging me to pursue it if he was going to pay me for it. After the first day, he sent me his bank account information. Then I really thought that there’s no way he couldn’t be legit. I mean, he sent me HIS bank information so that I could pay off my credit card. After the payment went through on my credit card, he asked me to send a part of that through Venmo to someone else, and then he would send me more. This is where I got stupid. I thought at that point that that seemed fishy, but my boyfriend convinced me that if I did that, then I could continue to get money from him. I finally agreed and sent around $1,600 to someone on Venmo through multiple payments since Venmo only lets you send so much at a time. It took several days for those payments to go through from my credit card. One morning, I got up and checked to see if the payment had went through since the man kept asking me. I logged in to see that not only had the payments gone through, but that the entire total he had sent me before, around $2,500, had been taken back out of my account. This left me about $4,500 in debt. I couldn’t get in contact with him after that. That bank account information no longer worked. I was heartbroken. I was scared. No one that I talked to was able to do anything about any of this. My temporary job was ending and the new job that I had lined up, fell through. I wasn’t able to make any payments. And to make matters worse, only a couple weeks before this happened, I had taken out a personal loan of $750 dollars. A few months go by and I’m still jobless, broke, and eating one meal a day just to survive. That meal was typically a bag of popcorn or maybe a bowl of cereal. I have been constantly depressed since then. I considered ending everything, because how could I get out of this? I couldn’t tell my parents, they’d disown me. I just wanted to die. I still do. I had been trying to take out the loan to boost my credit score, because for a long time I have been trying to get an apartment, so I could stop living in the little bedroom of a family member’s home. And then I wasn’t able to make the payments on the loan. Now I’m stuck with a terrible credit score, struggling to afford anything. I finally was hired just a few days ago, but the pay will never be enough to fix this, at least not anytime soon. And with Christmas coming up, this is just making matters worse. I just want to get my life back on track. I’m only 20 years old, I shouldn’t be this depressed or this bad off. I just need a little help to get to where I should be, and anything helps. I will never make a mistake like this again, I’ve hated myself every second for it. Please help me get out of the hole I’m stuck in.

I helped someone in Need, and i was toyed with.

I have myself to blame but im a young man, 20 years old.

There was someone i knew who had his car breakdown, and i had been saving money up to that point for the last 8 months.

So when he asked for help I offered it in a heartbeat.

I gave him $2800 straight out of pocket for a broken transmission… and so the story goes on, it seems to have went from this to him missing out on rent and getting kicked out of his house, i mean i get it we all have our rough moments sometimes longer than others, so i saw no reason to back off from someone i trusted and leave him out to dry.

I lent him more money.

He told he would pay me back as soon as his tax deposit came in, he said it was going to be fast but he was getting the bank off of his back

apparently he had missed a debt and it only accumulated…

so i lent him 40 dollars, 250 dollars,

i really thought it would Fix this. As if i was going to be asked to loan him again and again. But that’s exactly what happened.

He really convinced me that it was only going well until the bank came around and said “you’ve missed this too”

and i fell for it :(. I didn’t really understand, money changes people, if you LEND to others you better realize where that money’s going.

needless to say I had trusted him… and that trust was left behind nowhere to be found.

i disappointingly ate it up, and continued to offer much more support than i can handle.

I sent over 6 thousand dollars, and i have 1k in credit debt.

there’s something biting at me, that i feel like i have been wronged. Even though i am to blame is it right to be burdened by the actions of another individual? It doesn’t matter

I’ll be going to the recruiters tomorrow. I’m enlisting to the coast guard, i’ll be taking charge to protect others, and i’d be proud to do so.

I ‘d share more but if you read this far, thank you for giving the time. I really mean that

I’m only asking money for this to relieve these frustrations, and get my life back on track, with (the whole im in 1k debt and cant pay rent…)

And if you’re going to help me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I got scammed and they’ve ruined me

It started with a sale. A simple transaction that would inevitably lead to my bank account being overdraft, my rent check being returned and now to where I am no longer attending school (I dropped out as of 11/7/2019 and a senior attending university in Arizona).

I needed a little extra cash because on top of this I recently got re-ended by a propane commercial vehicle while running errands. There is more to this story which relates to what I received just two weeks ago from this scammer.

When re-ended the car that I owned was a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that my dad gifted me a week prior to the accident. Not only that, it was just paid off two weeks prior to my dad gifting it to me for my 21st Birthday. So car paid off, my dad gifts it to me as a present and then boom, its no longer mine, and the insurance are taking their sweet time to do anything with the vehicle.

So, with an origin presented, fast forward to needing some little cash, I sold my violin. A violin that I have had for almost ten years. I started playing the violin when I was 5, then piano at 12 and continued until I graduated high school at 17.

So I post it on Craiglist, Facebook, basically anywhere. Then I received an email saying the buyer is interested, they will send a check, and to ‘please remove the ad on Craiglist”. The only thing I found odd in the format of the email was spacing and a few random capitalized words but I thought based off the rest, perhaps they jumped into the ad wanting it.

I said I only received a certified cashier check/bank check to which they said they would go ahead to see through it. They sent me a 2050 dollar check. But it was not only for the violin but to help with expenses as the “buyer” asked why I was selling my violin. So I typed a novel story of it with the answers the “buyer” wanted and then it comes in. I wish I had known better and being the naive person I can be, to which my boyfriend just shook his head and the result of what I have done, deposited the check to which I became disbelieved of the following actions: check was returned, the person wasn’t who they were (they called and left a voicemail message threatening me with calling the FBI)…..

They still message me to this day trying to “apologize” but their damage has been done and I am swimming in debt. I am optimistic that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I also believe everything comes in threes and well, this is one of those that came.

I live with my boyfriend and dog name Mandi. I used to be a College Senior. I work at a makeup store part-time. I Postmates to get some money in to at least eat or feed Mandi. I don’t have a car and rely on my boyfriend. I have been job hunting for nearly three months. Life sucks. But when things go down there are always things that will go up.

It seems that it is now my time to say please.

Hello dear readers.

First of all, I would like to apologize for my language in advance, as I am not from an English speaking country.

As the title says, it is my time to say please. Please, to support me in any way you can.

I am a foreign student in South Korea, to be specific, a “former” student. Couple month ago, I was released from detention center after a 1 year long trial. Unfair trial. I was charged with money counterfeit and its use. I got frauded by one guy, who I bought a motorcycle from some time ago. He paid me 3 million won ($3,000) in cash. At that time, I could not even think that it was counterfeited money, because Korea is one of those countries with very low crime rate. Consequently, without even realizing that I was commuting a big crime by using fake money, I used it for my daily expenses such as food, housing fee, books etc.

As a result, one night after coming back from uni, police was awaiting me at the front door of my house. And after that all this nightmare started. For the last 1 year time span, I struggled a lot. Moreover, struggling for no reason is even more painful and stressful. I got not guilty on the counterfeit charge because we were able to prove that I was not the one who actually did the counterfeiting, however on the using counterfeited money charge I got 3 years on probation. During this 1 year trial, as a foreigner student in a foreign country with no family, it was very hard to go through it. My family had to come to Korea and support me. Overall, we spent over $100,000 on lawyers and other expenses. We had to sell most of our assets to cover the expenses.

Eventually, I got kicked out of the uni. Although we were able to win the followed-up administrative case about deportation which allowed me to stay further in the country. However, I am totally depressed and have no hope about my future. This situation turned my and my family members’ life 180 degrees.

Thus, I am begging you, dear readers to provide me with little financial support so that I could get back on my legs and go forward.

Big Thank You in advance.

God bless you all.

Scammed my hardwork

I guess, I could explain a bit of myself to complete the 400 word description. My name is jack and the past two years I saved up 28k$ to move away from my family and go for my dream of acting as I discovered i am very naturally talented at. I planned and put down a security deposit already on an apartment in Georgia Atlanta October 1st. But I was scammed 1.5 weeks ago which the investor took all 28k and ran with it.

Im hoping to gather help from anyone – I will have an IOU with you and will listen to any of your terms / conditions.

All I’m asking for is a minimum of 10k$ and I will work my ass off to pay you back. As I can’t make enough to finish my bills up here (Pennsylvania Pittsburgh) and then move down to Atlanta to become an actor. I can’t necessarily ask from family as they are against the idea of me moving. And I only have one friend who already is a poor college student.

Financial help, robbed after trying to help struggling people, struggling myself now

Please, it all helps!

I was recently robbed by some people I thought of as friends. This couple I know have been struggling recently, and the woman is newly pregnant. They are both unemployed, but luckily they are not homeless due to family giving them a place to stay temporarily. I have always done everything I can to help them out, but I started trying to help them more once I knew she was pregnant. I was trying to help them make resumes and look for jobs, while allowing them into my apartment to clean up and get something to eat. This was going on for about a month before they stole from me, no problems until this incident.

I was using the bathroom and when I came out they were no longer there. I assumed they were outside smoking a cigarette. After a few minutes, I noticed my purse was messed with and then I saw my wallet on the table. I had just gotten paid that day and I had taken out the money to get a money order for rent. Before I made it to get the money order, I ran into them and made the bad decision to help them out. I should have known better to not have cash on me with them around, but I did not even think about it. I just wanted to help them out after they asked me for food, saying they had not eaten in a couple of days. I was naive and let my heart lead my decision, unfortunately.

They ended up stealing almost $400 from me. This was going towards my rent for the upcoming month. Since I do not make a huge wage at my job, I typically take money from every check and get a money order towards the rent. I am now struggling to buy food for myself and my dog because I know rent is due soon, and my landlord is unwilling to help and work with me. The picture is of my dog, looking sad and desperate for attention while wrapping her paws around this guy and forcing him to give her some love.

Anything would help out. I am just trying to get back on my feet, since I recently depleted my savings account on an emergency dental procedure that I desperately needed. I cannot believe these people would do this to me after all my kindness towards them. I had bought them groceries, food, even given them money before when they needed it. I thought people were better than that, but now I’m losing hope. Please, if you can help me out, I would be truly grateful and appreciative. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea.

Scammed In a Sale

Hello! So, I understand that you guys help fulfill a lot of people’s dreams and such by donating money and I hope that you will do the same for me. However, my issue is not like those that I am sure usually receive but I am here to try anyway. So to begin, recently I took part in a deal with “CSGO” or Counter Strike Global Offensive trading in which I was trying to sell my skins for money. There is a very trusted site that I was going to which goes by bitskins. You can find it by going to bitskins.com. Essentially I was supposed to have traded my skins to a bot that they would send out so that I could start to sell and get money for my skins. Unfortunately, I must have encountered a fake bot sent by someone and accidentally sent my skins to them. So goodbye I will never see them again. Anyways, the reason I am asking for money is that I believe that this was not my fault. When attempting to trade to the “bot”, I verified all credentials, dates, etc. and even saw that the inventory was stock full of items (so I knew I was in the right place). I then proceeded to send the skins over and found out that they got sent to another account that was completely different and unlike the one I sent my skins too. So, I believe that some way they could have been hacked per se and grabbed out of circulation. I was planning to put the money towards buying myself a better computer so that I could play with my friends more often and have something a little faster and easier to use for school as well. My current computer can be a little laggy and difficult to use. If you are curious as to which skins I sent away so you could look them up then here’s a small list:

AK-47 Fire Serpent Battle Scarred

Bayonet Black Laminate Field Tested

So these skins total up to about $350 according to current Steam Market Prices which means that I just lost a lot that could have gone towards funding my project. Any help would be much appreciated and I suppose taking the chance to ask for money and being denied is better than not asking at all in the first place. I much appreciate your time reading this and hope you have a fantastic day.

Got scammed out of $800 by a eBay phishing scheme. Anything helps!

Hi guys, I’m Justin.

I was recently a victim of cybercrime, in that when selling my Wii U on eBay, the buyer sent me a text message saying it was his daughter’s birthday and he needed $300 worth of Steam gift cards, then got an email disguised as eBay/PayPal saying that I needed to do so with the cards scratched off. It was my first time selling on eBay so I didn’t think anything of his request.

Long story short, it turns out it was all a scam and I ended up spending money on Steam gift cards and mailing them to the address he sent. I ended up getting robbed out of $799. I even lost my Wii U!

So, yeah, I’m pretty upset about these horrible people taking my money. But I’m trying to stay positive about this. There’s nothing I can do at this point but just try to think positive, laugh it off, and ask you guys for help. Literally anything helps! Even pennies! I hope that I am eventually able to make all of this back up someday.

If you need any more evidence of the scam aside the picture attached, the other pictures are posted here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JLFCZwmD1E_HjoiCwZQd1RwYfKJaRb73?usp=sharing

To send me any donations, send it to me at: paypal.me/justine643

My dream is to one day become a philanthropist (I legitimately want to be part of The Giving Pledge someday), and instead of hurting people like these horrible scammers, I want to help people. I come from a fairly poor environment, but I’ve managed to save up some money before college (unfortunately, I just ended up wasting some of that money on these scammers) and plan to use what I save on getting out of my bad environment, creating a better future for myself, and most importantly — . I have a long ways ahead but every little bit helps! Losing this money was definitely a blow, but I’m not giving up by any means. I’m staying positive and optimistic!

Lesson to everyone: don’t fall for gift card schemes. Be critical of messages and emails (and I wouldn’t be openly telling you to do this unless I was being 100% honest about all of this – my request for donations isn’t a scam, but that doesn’t mean you should believe me at face value. :) ). And most importantly, stop asking waiters if they have the “super salad.” No one likes Dad jokes!

Sharing this post is appreciated!

Have a fantastic day/week/year/century,

Justin

P.S. Sorry if it seems like I’m not taking this super seriously. I try to make light of this situation because there’s nothing that can be done at this point. Plus I like helping people laugh so if you got a chuckle from one of my “jokes,” I did my job!

The brutality of being old and gay.

The gay scene is dominated by the young and beautiful and sadly there are many who use their youth as a tool to deceive silver daddies (mature men with grey hair) for financial gain.

My personality type is to look for the best in people and I have no regrets in being kind and generous to those in need. Good intentions lead to positive outcomes……or do they?

In 2018, after being befriended by an intelligent 25 year old man with a charismatic personality and a cheeky smile, I was drawn into his world with stories of misfortune and disadvantage. As immigrants, his family struggled when his father passed away shortly after arriving in Australia. He was the only male with 3 young sisters and was unable to pursue his medical studies in order to work and support his family. It was evident that his potential was being smothered by obligation and it became my mission to help him get his life back on track. I was prepared to take on more debt in order to help him with food, rent, transport, medical expenses and studies.

I am certain that you have now assumed, after reading the above, that this was a sexual relationship, however this was not the case. I truly took on the role of father, carer and mentor, or so I thought?

After losing my job in March 2019 a friend took me away for two weeks to collect my thoughts. While away, communications from my young friend suddenly stopped. Upon returning home I was unable to reach him or locate him. After several days of no contact, I feared something serious had happened to him, even possibly death, therefore I googled his name hoping to find clues or answers.

What I did uncover was a world of lies and deception as profiles appeared with information contradicting stories, he had told me. Friends started contacting me telling me how he had stolen from them and further stories of false identity, fraud, prostitution and drug dealing began to unfold. I was soon to discover my savings had been accessed and spyware had been installed on my mobile phone. I was left standing as a foolish, gullible and stupid old man trying to make sense of it all?

And that brings me up to today. It has now been 8 weeks since losing my job and no source of income as a result. I have not yet had success in acquiring a replacement job and although I have registered for unemployment benefits, my request is yet to be approved. With rent, gas and electricity to pay and several financial institutions chasing me for payment, life has become a struggle. I am eternally grateful to friends and family who have assisted in small ways, but my stupidity is no longer their burden to bear. My request is for a rescue package of $5,000 to help get my debt in order and to pay back friends and family.

Please help me fix a massive mistake

My story and why I need help to save my family

Hi my name is Jason, I am currently in the army, my life is falling apart around me.

On May 6th I tried to make up missing my wifes 23rd birthday and many others I haven’t been able to be there for by getting her a kitten, so I began searching the internet…. I found one on facebook and when I approached them they asked for £100 and then they took the kitten to a courier service and the service asked for £300 further for refundable insurance.. However the payment was attempted to be done through PayPal the first time and it failed only resulting in the payment going through western union in the end, which they then asked for a further £400 just for a cat carrier box which was air contained even though the kitten was supposedly only 3 hours away.. The payments were all weird with different names and to abroad but apparently the person I was dealing with was still able to collect that money which was weird and I should have trusted my wife when I was told all along it sounded like it was not legitimate. I pushed because I wanted so desperately to get this kitten for her.. I only realised it was fraud after I already lost £400… and just this week I lost £300 to PayPal because of the earlier transaction failing which I was told from PayPal that the payment was still made by them so now if we don’t pay up with the £300, debt collectors will come to our home and take our things until it amounts to that money… No matter how much I explained to PayPal that they’re site said the payment failed and I even attempted to cancel the payment so even deep down I myself knew this wasn’t right.. They still want the money cos they paid this person whoever he or she is on our behalf even though the transaction failed.. Even the bank says that on the system it is not showing that I even requested a transaction with paypal.. Now.. £700 down and my marriage is right on the edge of collapse, losing my job because of how much stress I have caused, we need to be home with family and people who care.. Especially with my wife’s mother being so ill and my wife herself with her disability.. She struggles every day and I feel I’ve ruined everything.. I need help, please if you could donate at least a penny it would be something towards saving a life.. We are on bare minimum wages right now and well.. We have a 1 year old to feed and she’s not well herself, suffering from tummy spasms and that was a fight to get anywhere, finally saw a surgeon just the other day before I had to deploy for a week and leave my wife on her own struggling in pain with our child that we are now going to get a letter for our little girl to finally have a scan.. Even my wife had cancer when she was 14 and that isn’t the only thing.. I should have known and seen that I shouldn’t have done this..

Please.. We are falling apart.. And also we have a loan that we’re struggling to pay off each month just so that we could get married in the first place so my wife could be with me.. I have made mistake after mistake and now I’ve come to the stage where I have to ask for help.. Which I feel so embarrassed about.. But I have no other hope.. May God bless you just for even reading this and listening to my story.. We barely get chance to see any family at all in this army life and it’s taken it’s toll.. Every time we go down we have to pay for a 6-8 hour journey down with the trains as we can’t afford a car regardless of the fact that I have a licence.. Money has not been kind…

I really really hope that there is someone out there who is kind enough to help us.. Please.. Thank you
