Guy I barely know asking for paynow of $300 to feed him and his daughter
Met on a game on clash royale and chatted on WhatsApp in 2018. Suddenly been calling me and texting me to send him $300 as his wife took his money and left with his daughter to Vietnam.
Claims he is jobless and trying to feed his other daughter.
What do you think you’ll do?
I DID NOT AND WILL NOT SEND HIM $$$
Netizens’ comments
- why the need to justify not sending $300 to a sus online stranger.
- OP I am poor help me. Send me $250 enough. You don’t help me I may die. It will look bad on you. You will be deemed horrible human being if you don’t help me.
- And he has time to play clash royale instead of earning money for food?
- If he is really strapped for cash, there are jobs he can do that pay daily. I suspect he needs the money to feed an addiction.
Will just tell him I don’t have the money to give him. If he whines, will just block/delete him
- I’ll give the benefit of doubt that OP is concerned this is actually a genuine case and they are really starving in vietnam.
I also don’t want this to result in the daughter starving because we conveniently write it off as a scam, no matter how unlikely it is imo.
I haven’t played clash before but is there like a VIP system or someway to reasonably estimate how much he has been spending on the game?
If you can tell that he has been spending thousands on clash and now his begging for donations?
Thats sus AF.
The other option is instead of sending cash because for all you know he ends up using it on in game purchases, alcohol and nothing for this so called daughter of his, offer to send NTUC vouchers instead.
Vouchers cant be used for alcohol or tobacco so at least its going into grocereys
- I think you should look family centre and ask him to go there because you won’t if you paynow 300 bucks is really use to feed him and his daughter or use for other items.
Now got delivery service. You really want to help just call the supermarket to deliver those essential items to his house to tide over this period.
In short be careful. If you are willing to paynow 300 then you must be prepared 300 wun come back liao.
