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.”

I lost all my savings and now I can’t help my father when he needs me.

“I am a 26-year-old woman living in a poor country in East Europe. My salary is modest, and I’ve had to forego many activities my friends engage in to support my parents’ monthly expenses and save money. After five years of hard work, I managed to save 4000 Euros last year. I planned to use this savings to buy my father a car, making it easier for him to transport materials for his work.

In March 2023, I came across an advertisement on Instagram for a part-time job. It turned out to be a Binary options scheme where a supposed teacher provided commands via Telegram, instructing us on when and how much money to invest. We were promised a 2% daily return. The website was called Ceremose.m. For a few weeks, everything seemed fine, but then they disappeared, and no one responded to my messages or calls.

Desperate to recover my losses, I found someone on Quora named Tonya Britnell from Texas who claimed she could help. Her initial fee was $200, which I paid, but then she insisted on an additional $1500 for an application to reveal the scammers’ true identity. After sending her the money, she blocked me, proving to be another scammer.

Since that day, I’ve been overwhelmed with anxiety, experiencing frequent panic attacks and a constant sense of insecurity. My father, unaware of my predicament, asked if he could borrow 2000 Euros. I feel ashamed to admit I’ve been scammed. In the other hand, my heart is pained not to help him, knowing all he has done for me. It’s with great reluctance that I turn to this website. I am usually very introverted and rarely ask for help, but I am truly desperate and kindly requesting if you can help me with any amount of money.

Thank you in advance,
Thalia

HELP ME PAY OFF A DEBT THAT I EAS SCAMMED

I need help paying off a debt. It all started on Friday, December 15, 2023, where I was looking for a third job, since everything is expensive, and my two salaries don’t help me. I found a virtual job online, where I had to check orders from companies, and I get paid for it. So, I applied, I started working immediately very excited, the project supervisor, informed me that he would be assigning me 3 tasks a day and depending on what the orders were I would be paid. I started winning ten dollars on my first day. I thought tomorrow I’ll strive to earn more, as I need to pay off some debts. On Saturday the supervisor tells me that he has a very large order and that he will pay me very well, I was very excited, it was God’s answer to my prayers. He paid me $20. When I was going to do the second task, he tells me that the order is very large, but that if I invest about US$1000.00, it will help me to double it. This is where the deception begins. I explain to him that I don’t have any money, that’s why I’m working like crazy, he tells me to borrow it that this is guaranteed. So I went out to a lender to ask for it, I think my desperation to pay my bills, was my big failure. I got the money and sent it to him, we started doing the work and sure enough he doubled my money. Where the scam comes from when I wanted to withdraw it. When I started withdrawing the money, it didn’t fall into my bank account, I started to lose color, the money never fell into the account, when I asked the supervisor, he told me that after checking, I had to put more money about US$2000, to be able to withdraw the money, since the account could not run out of money. Imagine my state, now I have the debts I already had and another one of much greater value, I have 3 days without eating or sleeping, please help me.

this is the page that I worked https://vmtd.vip/index/user/login.html , so you can check by yourself the scam..

Sometimes bad things happen to good people.

I am in my 60’s and have worked for my entire adult life.  Over the years I managed to put some money into savings for a rainy day.  I have always been independent and capable person.  I have a good work ethic and have never had to rely on anyone other than myself.  I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 job anymore because I am now on a fixed monthly income of $640.  To add to my monthly income, I rent a booth at an indoor market in my town.  I sell craft items which I make myself, and I buy other items from a vendor in another state.  This has been enjoyable for me, and it makes a little extra money each month to help with my bills.  Once a year I withdraw money from my saving account and travel out of state to purchase the items I need for my inventory.  During the year I sell that inventory and replenish my savings account as I go.  This has worked out wonderfully for me in years past.

Recently something happened that turned my world upside down.  This put me into a situation that I have never had to deal with before.  I have always been very careful with my personal information, as well as my money.  I am still trying to understand how this happened to me.  I am absolutely heart sick and to be honest I am terrified.  Someone was able to hack into my bank accounts and they cleaned me out.  They took everything I had! I reported it and they are investigating the theft, but they cannot guarantee I will get any of it back.  They stole $56,418.43 from my saving account.  It took me a lifetime to save that money.  I don’t have family to help me, I am alone.  If I cannot buy the merchandise, I need for this coming year I am going to be sunk.  This plea is truly my last hope as I have no other options.

As I explained before I have always done for myself, so this is uncharted territory for me.  I am asking for $50,000.00 to buy my inventory and help me with my monthly bills which have been piling up for the past couple of months.  This would be a godsend to me.  It would be the difference between sinking or swimming.  Thank you for taking the time to read this, I appreciate it more than you could know.  I would appreciate anything sent my way.  Sometimes bad things happen to good people, I know this well because it happened to me.

Help me recover after losing everything to scammers.

Let me first say that I hate asking anyone for help. I’ve always been independent & hard working. I don’t like to fail. I am an United States Air Force veteran. I had a good, stable life. Until I didn’t. Everything fell apart when I lost a good job then got divorced. I have slowly been getting my life back on track but struggling financially & fell victim to an investment scam recently. I lost everything, my apartment, my car, my self confidence. I thought I was doing something to help turn things around but it was scam. I’m only asking for $4000 to get back on my feet & bring the man I love back home from being stranded abroad. Donations can be sent to my Cash App account $Frog81193. Thank you & God bless you.

Scammed By Contractor

In July 2022, the house on 2989 Queen City Road was deemed unsafe and unlivable by the City of Virginia Beach. The house was built and owned by my grandparents, Reba Carrington Bass and Romulus Bass. They were also my parents since they legally adopted me in 1976, and I lived there from birth until I graduated from college in 1987. Before my grandfather passed away on October 30, 1990, and my grandmother on April 6, 2006, the home was gifted to my aunt, their youngest of 7 children. My aunt lived there as an adult from 1998 until July 2022. Because of my aunt’s current disability, she could not take care of the house properly and could not make the repairs to satisfy the 12 state violation codes. She moved and lived with a relative in Spotsylvania, VA beginning May 2022. A letter from the City of Virginia Beach, dated July 20, 2022, was mailed to several other family members and me, that “the structure had to be repaired or removed within 14 days.” It was signed Raymond Mattes, Code Enforcement Supervisor. Although the house was deemed unsafe, trash and animal feces on the floor, I went inside the house and was able to find the deed. On August 30, 2022, my aunt signed the property over to me. I was able to find a contractor, Daniel Painter of Daniel’s Landscape and Hardscape. He gave me a contract dated 8/24/2022, to demolish the property for $9500. That was the best offer, he was referred to me by a relative, so I put full trust in him. He requested $4750 down to begin the project. The Code Enforcement Officers of Virginia Beach Raymond Mattes and James Howard helped Daniel Painter with information on how to acquire the permits, but Daniel did not follow through. On May 10, 2023, Daniel Painter reneged on the contract and said he would refund my money. I contacted him numerous times, he responded that he would refund my money, but has not refunded my $4750 yet. Because he does not live at the address that is on the contract, internet searches did not give his current address, and he refused to give me his current business address to be served the Warrant in Debt. I finally realized that I had been scammed. The City of Virginia Beach hired CM Munden Construction Services to complete the demolition instead. They could not wait on Daniel, and I did not have the amount to pay another company to complete the job. I reported Daniel Painter to the Virginia Beach Police Department Economic Crimes Unit for Theft by Deception and misrepresentation. They were not able to help me by charging him. I later realized after thorough research; Daniel Painter was never licensed to do the job. I also reported him to the Better Business Bureau and made several complaints to Angi’s List. I have all documented communication between the contractor, the city code enforcement officer, and myself. The City of Virginia Beach Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Code Enforcement Division is giving me until February 2024 to pay them $11,325.12 for them having to hire another contractor to complete the demolition that was completed in May 2023. On November 1, 2023, I was finally able to get a current address for Daniel Painter. My civil lawsuit court date was November 20, 2023, at 8:30 AM at Virginia Beach General District Court, Civil B, but he did not show. 2 days later his daughter contacted me because my phone number was on the Warrant in Debt. She said her father was in Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in ICU on Life Support. I admit I cried because I was sorrowful toward him and his family. I empathized with her and told her I forgive him for what he has done to me, and please let him know. She could not promise to return the money that he owed. My next court date is December 18, 2023, at 8:30 AM. I’m sure the judge will rule in my favor since Daniel Painter was served, but I am still out $4750, and the bill I owe the City of Virginia Beach is $11,325.12. I contacted a mortgage company regarding building on the property once the $11,325.12 is paid. It is going to cost me at least $200,000 to build on the property. However, if I can get at least $11,325.12, I will be most grateful!

Scammed over weeks

Hello and thank you for reading this.

Let me start at the beginning to give you context.  At the beginning of 2023, my wife came to me and raised concerns that her mental health was deuterating.  After discussing it, we thought we could survive on just my salary so she resigned from her role and started focusing on our family.  After a while it became clear that we could not survive on my salary alone but to try and protect my wife, I attempted to reduce our expenses and find side work that I could earn a bit of extra cash to keep us above water.  It must have been something I posted somewhere with regards to looking for side work that led to getting a message from someone claiming that they had part-time jobs in the UK.

This is where the scammer steps in…

I was put in contact with a local manager who would walk me through the job.
You start with 100 USDT (cryptocurrency) which in fact they gave me most of it for free.  I would then submit optimization jobs for a set (40 jobs) and each one would earn a half of a percent per job.  You were only allowed to do 3 sets a day and when I ran the math it came out to 20-30 USDT per day in profits.  There was also a ‘salary’ provided which followed the idea that if you logged in consecutively for 5 days, they would pay you 800 USDT.  Before I dived into this too good to be true ‘job’ I did attempt to research the company, the job, etc.  The company is listed as a legit company in California and nowhere did anything mention a scam like this.  I figured I would give it a go and see how things went, especially as I had only invested about 20 USDT at this point.  I finished the first day’s set and was allowed to withdraw the funds.  I had in fact turned my 20 USDT investment into about 160 USDT.  Day 2 rolled around and again I was able to run the 3 sets of jobs and now my balance was up to 225ish, which again I was able to withdraw from their platform and move to my personal digital wallet.  My confidence was growing considering I was not being forced to keep the funds with them but was able to withdraw each day.  Then day 3 happen and I was introduced to something called a ‘super order’ which required me to deposit a bit more funding to overcome an order that cost more than the balance I had available at the time.  The difference was about 50-75 USDT which I was reassured by my ‘manager’ and ‘other workers’ that this was normal, and it would be fine.  Nervous but feeling like it would be OK, I went ahead and purchased more crypto and then transferred it in.  I was able to complete the set and withdraw the funds now pushing 300ish USDT.  Day 4 started and again it went fine with me moving my balance up to 350ish USDT.  Day 5 was the day when it all went wrong.  I started the first set and that was ‘normal’ but then as soon as I started set 2, as promised they deposited 800 USDT into my balance.  This pushed my balance in the platform over 1000 USDT which scared me because I knew if I was hit by a ‘super order’ I would be in trouble to pull the funds out.  Looking back, I honestly wish I had stopped there and just taken the loss of around a hundred USDT.  I was reassured by my ‘manager’ and ‘co-workers’ that I would be ok and just needed to finish the set and withdraw the funds.  During the course of doing the set I was hit by a total of 3 ‘super orders’.  The first two I was able to pull funds together to keep going but it cost me around 2500 USDT to do it.  Then on job 40 of 40 for the set, I was hit with the 3rd ‘Super Order’ which required another deposit of 3300 USDT.  At this point, I had no more funds available to sort it out.  I voiced my frustration with my ‘manager’ and ‘co-workers’ who all claimed I just needed to finish the set and I would be fine.  I even reached out to the company’s support complaining that they had set me up.  Over the next few weeks, I ran the numbers and realized that there was a high risk that playing this game would result in huge losses of money.  I knew at this point that it was a scam, but I convinced myself if I just finish this last order, I can pull the money out and then walk away.  I even tried to make sure they (scammers) thought I was still in the game myself by saying things like, once I unlock, I am going to keep going.  After getting paid, I nervously but confidently purchased enough crypto to finish the last job of the set, fully expecting to be able to then withdraw the funds and walk away.  I should have known better as they ‘changed the rules’ and now required me to complete 15 more jobs before I could withdraw.  At this point they funds were already with them, and I had no choice but to take a chance that their system would let me get through the 15 jobs and then withdraw.  I made it to the 13th job before it asked me to deposit another 2200 USDT.

I am done with the game and fully expect that I lost because the game was rigged in the first place.  I have managed to put my family at risk now because we no longer have the funds to cover the bills this month.  I have explained to my wife why I did what I did and while she is not happy with me, she understands what I was trying to do.  I have reported them to the authorities, and I am speaking with others to see if there is any way to recover the funds but none of it is looking promising because the ‘business’ in California may in fact not actually be behind this platform and may be having their name and logo used without their knowing.  I have in fact reached out to the business to find out if they are in fact aware of this.

All and all, I am in the hole by about £5000 ($6400) and my wife and I attempting to figure out how to deal with the loss and recover.  We have a partial plan which will take time and being very painful to do but if anyone out there is feeling helpful and generous and would like to assist us in recovering quicker and ideally less painfully, we would be ever so grateful.  I am hopeful that I can raise between £5000 and £7500 ($6400-$9500) to get out of this hole and if we are ever so lucky get slightly ahead.

Per the suggestion of this website, I have created a pay.me link for my wife’s PayPal account which can be found below.

Was stupid, got scammed.

Hello to those who read this. Just a guy who never thought he could feel this low and angry at the same time. My wife and I are expecting in February, and I wanted to surprise her with an investment fund for our baby. I was trying to get to a web page and clicked the wrong link apparently, entered some details and the next thing I know I had $4500 stolen from me. It’s a feeling I pray you will never have to experience. I’m so stupid, I should have slowed down, paid more attention, and now there’s no way to get my money back. I just don’t know where to turn and now I’m at the mercy of any who are willing to help. Thank you so much!

Seeking help after facing tax fraud

Last year was incredibly difficult for me after discovering I had been a victim of tax fraud. In 2021, an unknown perpetrator hacked my personal information and used it to file a fraudulent tax return with the Canadian tax authorities. Ever since discovering the identity theft, the impacts have been immense.

Dealing with the aftermath of having my identity stolen has been a full-time job in itself. I have spent countless hours on calls and filling out paperwork to try and resolve the issues with both the fraudulent return and properly submitting my own authentic returns. However, the government processing of these matters moves at an unfortunately slow pace. As a result, I have fallen severely behind on payments.

To make matters worse, while wading through the red tape of identity recovery, I received an additional blow – a diagnoses of an immune disorder. This new medical condition means I cannot sustain my regular work hours or duties. Just as my income streams were faltering due to the tax predicament, my health deteriorated – further weakening my financial stability.

My strained financial situation has negative ripple effects, too. I am responsible for child support payments monthly. And as the primary breadwinner , the full weight of household costs are on me alone. Between  taxes, debt and basic living expenses, the pressure has become unbearable.

I am at a true crisis point and desperately need help getting back on stable footing. Any assistance to pay down accumulated debts and obligations would provide significant relief during this overwhelming season. I appreciate any consideration of support through my PayPal account.

 

Thank you very much

Please  help me, i never ask much in my life.

i served my country and it feels i get nothing back

A con artist took it all – any help would be SO greatly appreciated

Hello  to all,

My name is Josh, I’m 32 years old, and I have a crazy story to tell.

Unfortunately this story led me to lose almost everything I worked so hard for :( Starting in 2019 I fell victim to a full blown con that I didn’t see coming from a mile away. The person was a wanted felon long before they found me, and today they are sitting in jail, but before they were arrested they took nearly $15,000 in cash from me, and wracked up $66,780 in debt. Over the course of the last 4 years some of that debt has been dropped and erased, but what I am left with today is as low as it will get. All the cases have been closed, and the battle in the legal system is done. What’s left is being considered ‘mine’.

The story starts with a girl working for a temporary employment company. The company I had been with for 10 years hired her for a brief 3 month job that we had, and in the course of that 3 months, we had met and started dating. It was absolute love at first sight. I thought I had found ‘the one’. She made me fall in love with her so fast it made my head spin. I was completely elated and felt the same from her, nothing had ever been so perfect for me… come to find out it was all by design… Shortly after the end of her 3 month contract with my company, she came over to my apartment and told me she was getting rid of her apartment (which I had never been to in the 3 months we had been together; odd in hind sight) and wanted to know if I wanted to get a place with her and move in together. It seemed somewhat fast to me then, but also I was extremely serious about her and figured ‘why the hell not’; I wanted to put a ring on her finger someday. So that’s what we did. About 2 months there after getting a place with her is when things start to get extremely ugly.

It started with one of my credit cards being ran up out of nowhere. I caught it very quickly, got on the phone with the credit card company, and opened a lost/stolen card case. All of the charges were reverted and a new card was to come in the mail. Within a couple of weeks my new card (which I had not received in the mail yet) began incurring new charges. My mind was blown and I got on the phone again with the credit card company. It was them who clued me into what might be going on: someone was getting into my mailbox and stealing my mail. There was only 1 individual possible, my ‘beloved girlfriend’. I confronted her about it and she lied and lied and covered till the bitter end, but I knew better and I stood my ground. Eventually I worked it out of her and she broke down saying she was extremely sorry and would never do it again, “I’ll do better, I’m so sorry” etc. etc. etc. I believed her, and while I was very upset, I stayed living with her, but told myself I would be extremely cautious. The credit card companies were unwilling and even unable to reverse the charges because on a technical note, it was someone using my card who I knew. Even though I did NOT give permission or consent to ever use it, the credit companies said that was on me. I was upset but carried on.

Within a month of confronting her about stealing my mail and credit cards, I come home, and she is entirely gone. Absolutely nothing left in the apartment of hers, and very little of mine. Anything of value was completely cleaned out. I called the police, and what I found out with them that day was horrifying. She was not at all who she said she was. Come to find out I didn’t even know this girl’s real name. I had been living with a stranger, and that stranger had access to everything important in my life. Over the course of the next few weeks letters began coming in the mail. She had somehow gotten a hold of my social security number and every other personal bit of information needed to do pretty much anything she wanted to with my identity. She bought 2 cars acting as me with the help of another male, opened several accounts (both credit card and bank) adn ran them up, and even got a second apartment with my name and the help of whomever she had working with her. I gave the police every bit of information I had, and they were able to find her in working with the websites and businesses she used for all of the items she purchased or accounts she opened. She was wanted long before me with felony charges of identity theft, fraud, and grand larceny. She was put in jail for a little over a month before she bailed herself out. Shortly there after I get a horrifying call at work from my apartment complex saying my apartment was on fire and to please get there ASAP. I show up and sure enough my apartment was in flames. The fire department came to me and said they had reason to suspect foul play and that detectives were on the way to speak with me. Fast forward several months and it was found that gasoline was poured and lit on fire, and they had named the main suspect as my now ex-girlfriend; out of jail on bail and doing everything she could to get back at me. Low and behold they found her and added on felony counts of arson and endangering lives (as the apartment complex she caught on fire had others living in it), and put her in jail without bond. As I mentioned earlier she is sitting in jail still to this day, but all of my cases have been closed, and while a large portion of the debt and accounts were dropped, I am still left with $66,780 that I have absolutely no way of paying for. I had to relocate because for a while, I was fully in fear of my life. In this process I lost my job and pretty much everything I had. For a brief minute I had nothing but my car.

I moved to a new state and I am currently working 2 jobs trying to catch up, and may even need to get a 3rd, but even despite my effort, I’m falling further and further behind. I fear that I may lose my apartment I am in now if I can’t get this figured out. Bills are starting to come for all of the debt and there is no way I will be able to make it on my own. I am extraordinary upset with everything that happened, but I learned some extremely valuable lessons. And at the end of the day I’m still alive, and there is no greater gift than that. Life isn’t fair, and there are some very evil people out there. But at the end of the day whats gotten me through all of this is knowing that even though there is a lot of bad in the world, there is still a whole lot of good too.

I am here to ask for any and all help possible. There is no amount too small. I am grateful and happy for absolutely anything. And I plan to pay it all forward someday when I am out of this mess. Thank you all, and here is my PayPal.me account if you do so chose to help; I am humbly grateful and I wish the very best for you and yours.

I got SCAMMED – Now falling behind in more debt – Please Help

Dear generous reader,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you today because I find myself in an extremely challenging situation, one where I am struggling to meet my financial obligations. The mounting pressure from outstanding debts, including my mortgage, credit card debt, and a car loan, has begun to intensify, leading to phone calls from the creditors and looming financial uncertainty. My income is insufficient to restore all my accounts to a good standing, and I find myself in a relentless cycle of accumulating more debt every day, even to buy groceries. It is my sincerest hope that you may consider extending your kind support to help me navigate this turbulent period as I work towards regaining financial stability.

My financial turmoil began when I fell victim to a fraudulent scheme over the past 2-3 months. I lost approximately $25,000, which originally did not belong to me. I was drawn into what seemed like a legitimate “job” in the realm of cryptocurrency “investment.” The scammers involved me in high-risk crypto investments that promised exceedingly high returns. These investments operated through a series of “daily tasks” and initially paid out smaller sums as returns. For instance, I could “reserve a seat” with $100 and expect to receive $140 once the trade concluded. They primarily engaged in Futures trading on the crypto market, creating an illusion of genuine gains.

I naively believed that this method could help me pay off my credit card debt and settle overdue bills that had been accumulating. Consequently, I borrowed $11,000 from a private financial institution at a staggering interest rate of 35%. To fund these investments, I also borrowed from my wife’s credit line and relied on the generosity of two friends. This financial journey began on August 15, 2023, and for a brief period, it seemed like I was finally on the path to financial recovery. However, my hopes were dashed just two weeks later when I discovered that I had unwittingly embarked on the most significant mistake of my life, losing every cent I had invested.

I am currently engaged in a challenging pursuit to track down the scammers and, hopefully, recover some of the lost funds. This process is protracted and demands further financial resources, as I need to enlist the services of a cryptocurrency firm to trace the transaction routes in the hopes of securing a refund.

Meanwhile, I am grappling with the burden of regular expenses such as my electricity bill, car loan, and mortgage. The situation has worsened since I am now servicing a new, high-interest loan that I didn’t have before, and my wife’s part-time job pays less than the average income. As a result, even providing our three children with proper meals has become a daily challenge.

The weight of regret and shame I carry is profound. I should have known better, and the most distressing part is not being able to adequately provide for our children, given the predicament I have placed us in.

If you have reached this point in my message, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your time and consideration. I am already appreciative of the opportunity to share my story on this platform in the hopes of finding assistance to extricate myself from this dire situation. I am also committed to raising awareness about the specific type of scam I encountered, as I wish to protect others from falling victim to it. As my financial worries persist, I will explore the most effective ways to reach a wider audience and make a difference.

From the depths of my heart, I thank you for taking the time to read my story and consider lending a helping hand. I am more than willing to provide evidence of the loans I acquired, the funds I transferred to the scammers, and the complete account of how this unfortunate episode unfolded.

Thank you so very much for your consideration and support.

Sincerely,

Lost money in crypto scam

Hello,

My name is Serah. I am living in Canada, I am divorced, being on my own for over 10 years now.

Last year I needed some extra income to help me to pay off my car loan, customer proposal debt and other living expenses.

I responded to the add and invested $250 in cryptocurrency to gain more money. I worked with the broker and slowly my money grew in my investment account.

The invested money were growing to the point where I wanted to withdraw them to pay my bills, but the broker told me I have to invest $3000 CAN dollars in order to withdraw what I already had in my wallet.

Because I am very inexperienced in cryptocurrency, to my disappointment, after sending $3,000 dollars to the company, I have never been paid the money I supposedly earned.

I felt frustrated and started loosing faith in humanity and in the goodness of this world.

I was left with over $3000 dollars in debt on the top what I already own to the other creditors.

It took me a lot of time to recover from the fact that I was scammed and to get over the feeling of total disappointment.

I learned my lesson in life and I will never repeat the same mistake again.

I still own those money to my credit card company as I am only able to keep up with a minimum payment.

I am asking from the bottom of my heart to help me to clear that debt and I will be forever grateful.

I want to believe that there is someone who cares and I will pay forward the same kindness to someone else in the future.

Thank you,

Serah

Help me get MY money back from scammer

My name is Latoya. I’ve come to a point in my life where I have been a victim of a Crypto investment scam and I cannot seem to retrieve any of money back.

I was initially introduced to OptoxFx (previously FxOpen) in August 2022 due to their auto-trading robot. I thought it was a smart way to invest at the time especially as I had little trading experience and wanted to earn a second stream of income. So, I started by depositing a small amount of £300. The profits grew a little, until it grew to a certain amount and they asked to me to deposit another £500 to continue growing my investment. Not too long they asked me to deposit another £1,590 to upgrade my account.

However, the problems started when I started to request my withdrawal. The company then began to find ways to demand me to pay more and more exorbitant fees. They always seemed to find smart ways to charge me for something (whether it be for account upgrades, HMRC taxes, insurance costs, bank account linking, rates and etc). It got to a point where I got very frustrated because at each stage, they kept promising a bill was the last I had to pay for me to receive my withdrawal, when in truth they were very dishonest and requested me to pay for another bill the next day.

In the end I sent a total of £16,612 to this scam company and made £21,932 profit, but whenever I kept trying to withdraw my money, these scammers did not give me a single penny and kept charging me more fees.

I didn’t know what else to do because I was desperately trying to get my money out of the company, but at the same I got into a lot of debt because I had to take out loans & credit cards to pay for all the costs. I was just hoping & praying I would receive my withdrawal money quickly at the time so I could pay off all my debts – but that promise never came…

I see now what a big mistake and error of judgement I made for allowing myself to invest in such a scam. I am 32 years old! In a lot of debt, and I am still struggling to pay off all my loans & credit cards a year later!

I am sincerely asking for help for someone online who has read my story to help me please!!!
