FAKE “SHOPEE PAY” APP, NEW JOB SCAM VARIANT

0

11 people have fallen to the new job scam variant known as “Shopee Pay” losing a total of at least $53,000, The scammers typically contact people through social media and offer victims a job.

The app is not related to the online shopping platform Shopee.

The job will include asking the victims to transact on the app and promises commission earnings through the sale of products on the fake mobile application.

To complete “work” criteria and trade within the bogus mobile app, victims would be urged to deposit monies into their “Shopee Pay” accounts by acquiring cryptocurrency (e.g., USDT) and sending it to cryptocurrency wallet addresses specified within the app. In certain cases, the cryptocurrency would be acquired via peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions such as bank transfers or PayNow.

After completing the jobs, it would reflect that the victim is earning money in the app.

However, victims were advised that the “Singapore Monetary Authority” had blocked their “Shopee Pay” accounts and that further fund top-ups were required to free monies. When victims were unable to withdraw the commissions reflected in their “Shopee Pay” accounts, they realized they had been duped.

GUY FEELS SAD AND WORTHLESS BECAUSE NOBODY REMEMBERED HIS BIRTHDAY

0

A netizen shared how he feels worthless because nobody remembered his birthday.

Here is the story:

Literally no one remembered my birthday and I feel so worthless

I typically don’t care about this sort of things so I didn’t mention it to anyone but absolutely no one remembered it was my birthday today.

It’s crushing. Not my real life friends, not my teachers, not anyone from work, not any online friends, not my roommates. Literally no one.

Never in my life have I ever felt so completely alone and worthless. I feel like my life doesn’t even matter.

No one remembered me on the one day that is kind of for me, even a little bit. I don’t even like celebrating my bday; I just wish people said even a small happy birthday.

Editor’s note: Happy birthday!

WOMAN TELLS HUSBAND TO BUY LIFE INSURANCE OR DIVORCE

0

A man shared a story online after he got into a dispute with his spouse on insurance coverage. Life insurance is typically marketed as protecting your loved ones and the story goes way beyond.

Somethings lost their value after doing for the sake of doing and forcing the decision on others

Here is the story:

I need a place to share my thoughts. My wife has been asking me to buy life insurance and place her name as the sole beneficiary.

I am in my early 30s and I have been married for 3 years, my parents are still not as old yet but they are soon reaching the age of retirement. I feel that putting only my wife’s name is not right. However, she had a massive argument with me over it.

I then told her to do the same, putting only my name and omitting her parents. (I said this to make her know how I feel). But she scolded me and said a lot of nonsense that “It’s not the same”.

I always have plans to do a 50-50, if anything happens to me my parents get half and my wife gets the other half. This is the default but she said that if I don’t put only her name she will divorce me straight.

I was thinking in my heart, She is also working as well and does she need the money that badly.

The thing is, we don’t even have kids, my plan was to buy the life insurance as soon as she gets pregnant and I am 100% sure is not because she has some health issues. If we were to have a kid we have to go through the medical way, this is confirmed by the doctor and in no way is she pregnant.

Married for 3 years, together for 8 years.

Before marriage, everything is sweet and fine. After the marriage, everything is about money and money.

The thing is, she is having a wonderful job earning over $6k a month and I’m about the same. We have a healthy amount of savings and she is still forcing me to do this.

This issue on insurance has been going on the past week and we are barely talking.

Sometimes, I used to question why other married man people cheat in their marriage. I can see why now.

Marriage has transformed from a sacred ceremony to a business transaction.

Should I leave her?

GIRL’S 12-YEAR-OLD SICK DOG IS GETTING PUT DOWN, SHE IS HEARTBROKEN

0

A girl shared how her dog is sick and can’t stand up on his own anymore, and that he is getting put down at the vet tomorrow.

Here is the story:

“Today my family and I decided it was time to say goodbye to our sweet 12 year old puppy. He has been having multiple seizures per hour, can’t get up on his own, getting stuck in furniture, and running into walls/getting confused.

I know it is the best choice for him, but it feels like my world is ending.

I am losing a friend, a family member. One that has never done me any wrong, who has loved me unconditionally, and has comforted me in a way no human ever could.

I am broken.

I can’t bear to imagine how painful it will be leaving the vet tomorrow without him. This feels like a massive loss.

I hope tomorrow as he drifts away he knows how much I love him.”

Editor’s note: So sorry for your loss…

HUSBAND CAUGHT WITH MULTIPLE ESCORTS & FEIGN IGNORANCE

0

It was during the beginning of the pandemic and my husband was saying weird things. Things I recognized but not from his mouth! It was a woman we both worked with. So I kept saying you sound like such and such… are you talking to her? No my love, I’m so sorry…it’s just something we say at work. So it happened a few more times and I kept it to myself! I decided to check the phone records…yes I know. I’m a horrible sneaky detective. I am the worst kind of person. So I’ve been told! I am so unforgivable for doing such a thing! How could I?

Ha! Sooooo, I found multiple numbers that I googled and it turned out to be a bunch of escorts. Same girls over and over again. So I researched them all and got their info and I blasted him and freaked out on him. The next day I realized I only checked the text messages and didn’t even check the phone logs! Ughhhh! I wish I never did that but I am glad I did at the same time. Even tho it ruined my life! He was calling this woman we both worked with for a whole year behind my back while still working with her. Sometimes 10 to 12 times a day and not one phone call to me… I just want to say Thank you for not calling her on my birthday!!! We’ve only been married for a year! Wtf!!! So,I brought it to his attention…”They are just friends. Never had sex! She’s married!” Ok, so then who got you all excited in your shorts while you were at work while I was at home? Yes, they were a mess! Another unforgivable thing I did!!! I am the worst person right now…even tho I wasn’t the one cheating and lying!!!

I was sad and so alone! I felt betrayed! I don’t trust him. How could someone lie to someone they love for so long! I wasn’t allowed to see family or go much of anywhere because of the pandemic! I was so insecure. He kept saying you are so jealous! Why are you so insecure? All we do is fight. I just want to be happy….Ummm hello jack***….you just effing lied and cheated for a whole effing year of our marriage. Our first year of marriage!!! Jealous??? Insecure???? Wtf! You made me feel this way!

It’s now a year later…he still works with her but no longer talks to her or keeps in contact with her! Yea right lol!!! You still get to effing work with her. I still get anxiety when I go to pick him up from work and I see her there. It kills me. My stomach hurts. I start to shake and I want to cry! How is he allowed to work with her still? I wonder if they are hanging out afterwork on the nights I don’t pick him up. My thoughts consume me. It’s not fair!

I’m trying to work on myself. I got really sick and I think it’s because of what he put us through. I was so consumed on finding everything out. Everything he lied to me about. I put all of his bullshit lies together and I figured it all out!!! I don’t know everything but what I do know is enough to make me sick to my stomach! Stressed out! Questioning my worth! Questioning how I look! He destroyed me…I thought I was stronger than that!!! Well everything finally destroyed my insides…I am sicker than I ever been. My sister thinks he will be the death of me. I won’t allow that to happen. It’s about me now. Noone else!

He wants us to be together and he loves me but in my head…I am so confused. Will he ever change? How do you have escorts in your phone but never had intercourse? How do you not have feelings for her? How can you hurt someone who has loved you from day one!?!

To the woman who was calling him everyday: I think you are the worst kind of woman and Karma is coming your way! I hope the weight of your lies pile drives you into the ground!

I want a better life… and that means surrounding myself around people who only want the best for me. The two of you have done nothing but bring me down…and I’m done! I hope you both live with regrets!!!

GUY MATCHED WITH FRIEND’S MOTHER ON DATING APP & HAD RELATIONS AFTER

0

A story was shared online by a guy who frequently uses dating apps to befriend women who are older than him as he has always been fond of older women.

He ended up matching with a mother of his friend and had relations with her after befriending her.

Here is the story

“So I’m 25 yo and have known a friend who is 21 for about 4 years.

He has a mother who has a very good figure.

I’ve never met her before but I’ve seen pics of her. One day I matched with her on tinder, I have always used Tinder to befriend older women because I prefer women who are older than me.

We chatted for 1 day and I knew that she is interested in me and wants it from me.

She’s divorced, 44 yo, brown hair, super fit with a nice figure.

I invited her to a hotel and had relations with her.

Best day in my life as I have always dreamt of ‘exercising’ with her from the moment I saw her pictures from my friend’s social media.
