SINGLE MOTHER-OF-ONE WHO EARNS $1.9K/MONTH, LOST $49K TO SCAMMER

A woman shared her experience being scammed of close to $49k, as she warns others not to fall victim to the scams like her.

Here is the story:

“Hi all,

This is my personal experience with this scam and I hope to warn more people not to fall prey to this

I believe most people have heard of scammer praying on people who wants to make more money for their family. Yes I myself fell prey to one scam.

I am a single mother. Being a PR here is not easy as we do not enjoy as much subsidy as a citizen. My son is a citizen and hence I am stuck here.

The living standard in Singapore is very high, I myself alone sometimes do have trouble keeping both of us alive. That’s why when there is a chance to earn more money, I would do it for the better future of my son.  Anyways, I’m going to cut short my introduction.

What happened was, I got to know this “GUCCI Mission” through a telegram chat group.

So what this scammer does is, they will give you a mission to verify a GUCCI product.

Thereafter, you will have to make a transfer of the amount for that product to a PayNow account allocated by the “merchant”

After a while, you will get back the money you put in, plus a small commission.

Things went on smoothly and after a few transactions, I made a mistake for not reading PROPERLY.

So I was given a task, in fact, 2 tasks to buy 1 product valued at $6,110 for 3 pieces, meaning in total I have to fork out $36,6600.

So as I did not read properly, I only paid for 1. So this is a mistake I made. The merchant then told me to make payment for another 2 more pieces, which I did. Thereafter, they told me that I did not notify them before I make a transfer, that’s my mistake number 2.

so in order to release the entire amount which I have put in, I have to complete another mission which is in total to fork out another $36,660 to fulfill the mission in order to release all my funds back.

Stupidly, I went around borrowing the sum to make payment. I was not in the correct state of mind at this point in time. And finally, I manage to beg n borrow the final $36,660 and transferred them.

Lo and behold, they said that because of the mistakes, the entire transaction was frozen !!!! Can you imagine what is going through my mind?

So then comes the thaw mission which I have to fork out another $30k to do another mission. I was shocked and my mind went blank.

After calming myself down, I feel that I might be a victim of a scam.

there is no use talking to them, I called the bank to report this issue.

The banks said that recovering the money is very slim. my heart really sank.

What started out as a mother trying to give my son a better life now landed me in a pool of debt. I am at a loss.

My income is merely only $1900 a month, how am I going to repay the loan!

I am blaming myself, for being foolish and stupid that I had just lost $48,880.00

A police report had been made, but I doubt it will be useful in recovering the funds. now my only worry is survival.”

GUY TREATS GF LIKE A PRINCESS, BUT GF TREATS HIM LIKE FREE LABOUR MAID

GUY TREATS GF LIKE A PRINCESS, BUT GF TREATS HIM LIKE FREE LABOUR MAID

A netizen shared how he has been dating his girlfriend for more than 2 years and she expects him to do all her stuff.

She’s so lazy that she even asks him to help her charge her phone when her phone is just an arm’s length away from her.

Here is the story:

“I’m in a relationship with my partner for 2 years+ now and the problem is she expects me to do all her stuff when she’s over at my place from doing her laundry to making her breakfast, I have to fulfill everything she asks me to do.

Sometimes she even asks me to help her charge her phone when it’s just an arm’s length from her…

I know she’s tired from work as she’s working as a front liner but I myself have work too! Just because I’m working from home she assumes I have nothing important to do…

Doing all that I get nothing in return from her sometimes I just want to have a slight intimate time with her but she just shoves me away and either says she doesn’t like it or if I continue she’s going to be unhappy…

please advise me what I should do…

Isn’t there a saying ‘if you want to be treated like a princess, treat him like a king first?'”

Editor’s note: Give her a taste of her own medicine.

STEP DAD TREATS DAUGHTER LIKE MAID & TELL HER TO BE GRATEFUL

STEP DAD TREATS DAUGHTER LIKE MAID & TELL HER TO BE GRATEFUL

Basically, I’m 18 and I have to look after my younger siblings for three hours every Saturday while my stepdad works and mom goes to the gym and whatnot. I don’t enjoy looking after them. They’re annoying and bratty and because their dad isn’t home they think they can do what they want. Any attempt of discipline is met with hysterical crying and screaming when mom gets home.

I hate it. I feel so burnt out. However, I can’t just refuse, as my stepdad is using my phone as a bargaining chip. If I don’t do it, I lose my phone permanently.

Which would be much of an issue, except my real dad lives overseas and currently has cancer. It’s the only way I can keep in contact with him, and I’m terrified he’s going to die and I won’t know if they take it away.

It’s also the only way I can talk to his family, who I miss a lot.

This whole situation has been getting increasingly worse. I feel burnt out all the time. I hate having this responsibility.

On Saturday I sat them down and told them I am done being a second mom. I will not be taking care of the boys anymore, no matter what. Stepdad of course threatened to take my phone away, which devolved into a fight, where I accused him of trying to destroy my life.

He told me I ought to be grateful because he’d “let my mom keep me” instead of tossing me into foster care with the other ungrateful brats. Two of his bio kids are in foster care because their mom died and he gave up his rights.

I turned to my mom and asked how she felt comfortable with him abusing and parentifying me. She got her hackles up and stated that babysitting is a normal teen duty, and I should be grateful I get any reward for it at all, as most teens don’t.

Since then tensions have been high. He’s constantly going crazy and mom keeps telling me it’s my fault, and I ought to apologise for hurting his feelings.

My real dad is telling me I need to smooth everything over, for the boys sake. I disagree. I think my stepdad needs to realise I’m not his live-in maid. Dad told me I’m no better than him, letting the kids suffer, knowing I can fix it.
