i got into a job scam last year and lost around $50,000 SGD. Yes, i graduated from NUS and made such a stupid mistake.

I have made a police report and till now, police is still investigating.
I am still holding onto the hope that i may perhaps get some money back.
I can’t get away from the guilt and pain from the loss. Coming from a single parent family, my mom had worked her whole life bringing my brother and me up. Now at her old age, my mom is still working and did not even have $20k in her savings, and yet, i squandered away $50k just like that. The money lost could have improved my mom’s quality of life and perhaps, allow her to not work so hard now. The guilt has been eating me up daily.
How can i walk out from this?
Here are what netizens think:
- Your education doesn’t matter. Remember anyone can get scammed, If you are lonely, they have a love scam. If you are greedy, they have lobangs. If you are skint, they have job scams. They’ll find your soft spot.
- You are still very young. Take the 50k as your school fees on how evil this society can be and learn a lesson from it. Find a job, a side hustle whatever and quickly earn back the 50k. It’s no use wallowing in guilt and self pity.
- Dang. I’d have bought a Rolex Daytona with that and still get some spare change for some good food and wine…
- Lesson learned, no to betcoin. We’ll, anyway damage has been done, all you have to do is to embraced it and it served as a lesson for you that there’s no such thing in this cruel world is instant. God is good all the time, you can get through this. Just have faith.
