Got scammed and feel like the dumbest person on earth
Long story short, I had a very stressful week and yesterday was peak stress for me, I was working on a challenging project I wasn’t fully confident I could pull off when I got a text that there’s been a withdrawal attempt from one of my accounts (not bank, an investment app) and to call a number. I normally am so suspicious of literally everything, I check my banking info every day, but I called and of course got fleeced in 40 minutes for 2k. I don’t even know how that happened but someone else was in the room and didn’t think it was a scam either from the sound of the call on speakerphone. They were that convincing I guess. They had pre recorded messages like all representatives are busy etc, they had confirmation numbers. Nothing on the app said beware of this text scam. I cried all day then slept like shit and my body is filled with adrenaline and anger. I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m not even upset about the money, money comes and goes, but the overwhelming feeling of betrayal, I feel so gross and dirty and stupid. I have come close to being scammed before but always caught it. Guess there’s a first time for everything. Has this happened to someone here please tell me it gets better because I am losing my mind
