I got scammed through someone on Snapchat after seeing friends post
I got scammed out of 6k. I’m in college, 18F hundreds of miles away from family and going to move next week. But I feel like I’ve lost all my hard work and am just sick to my stomach everyday.
I couldn’t have been more stupid trusting guys online who were selling an item, they were trying to get promotion so they said giving stuff out for free. But it wasn’t they charged me continuously for fees, made me call them to make sure I did it. Then by the time they said it was going to deliver it didn’t then for the next week they said there was problems with money processing and had to pay it again.
I already knew it was suspicious but they keep reminding me I’d be wired for a full refund once delivered. I was just in denial that they were actually scamming me. It started with 50 dollars and now I’m embarrassed that I kept sending money, part of me wants to think they actually will refund me and just wait but that’s what I said 5 payments ago, I’m depressed and don’t know what to do, I hear everyone saying that I’ll just make the money again but it’s the fact that I already had it, and that my parents knew I was doing well and now I’m scared to tell them that I’m struggling now. I know I can’t fix it but what will make me feel better, or make it easy to forget and live with, I’m desperate for some relief please help
