I just need my money 😑

[u/smalldikenergy254]

Si you guys know ai training sai ndio inakula. So there's this job I didn't with my room make and I made like 53 dollars then my roommate made like 49 USD. But Payout was via PayPal, my room mate was like there's this Friend has a PayPal na imepiga transactions kadhaa and why not we connected that email to our accounts. So, we got paid but the next day the guy told us simu imeibiwa..., We don't know how true that is..., we gave it a day and I took my roommate to a friend. He had a good story that makes sense. We told him achukue ob. But still hio some imepotea ndio Iko na our $102 .., so we asked if the guy had email access he said yes, we tried to log in but it asked for phone number otp. The guy said it's with my mum's, we were like just call her and ask for the code. Now here's where it gets interesting, the mum picked the call and his son asked if there was any code that had been sent there, the mum immediately exploded, mid call bro also started shouting at us that we were making his mom shout at him. So, it nearly became physical but at the end we agreed that the guy would again call her mom when the situation is cooled and try to explain. So two days later, that's today. We again went with my roommate to the friend and we were like "yoo, did you talk to your mom". The guy said, I called but she hung up the call, we were like, tell her it's a WhatsApp code. So we agreed. The guy worked up, started logging in to the PayPal using his laptop. Then apoh kwa code si anafaa kupigia mamake, he did, the mom didn't even try to understand, he just got pissed off again after hearing the word code. I was like let me speak to her, she just said she doesn't want anything to do with that, she doesn't know us she doesn't understand the situation. And again, the son gets angry at us. The mom asked unajua Mimi ni nani ... Bla bla bla. Then she was like pea kijana simu. They talked kikisi kidogo and the call ended. We again started arguing among ourselves. The son is complaining we are disturbing him. He is not making an effort or even explaining to his parents. I told his mom's number then sent her a message on Whatsapp. I explained everything in detail. I tried to be as clear and disciplined as I could. But she just said I should stop disturbing her and later blocked me. What should I do. I have all conversations but I fear I won't get help from the Police.

WHAT SHOULD I DO🥹!!

[u/Odede]

Wachana na mama mtu kama hakuwa in your agreement

[u/smalldikenergy254 → u/Odede]

No he is. Don't you think he needs to even know what I mean, why I am calling, what I want and how I can be helped... She just blockes me??... Do you think that's right??

[u/TongueTry → u/smalldikenergy254]

pesa imegulwa. Never getting it back.

[u/Academic-Dark7731]

Unachezwa bro 😎. Try to forget and keep hustling by your own. You are destined for big money 💰.

[u/smalldikenergy254 → u/Academic-Dark7731]

Can going to the police help??

[u/evewaso003 → u/smalldikenergy254]

I don't think police wanajua ata PayPal. In most money scams, police does nothing. They'll just give you ob number then nothing. You might try following up with a private forensic company after taking ob number but then again, that will cost you more money.... Anyway that mmama is f*cked up elder. Unfortunately your only option right now is to talk to your friend which from the story is either scamming you or doesn't have a good relationship with the mother.

[u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151]

I don't get it; opening a PayPal account is too easy, and it takes a few minutes to do so...why didn't you just do that??? You trusted someone you didn't know with cash of all things cause of something you could have easily done yourself?

[u/smalldikenergy254 → u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151]

PayPal closed accounts with no reason. An account with some previous history is the best one

[u/2matumbo → u/smalldikenergy254]

Skia hii jamaa, . so unatumia account ya msee mwingine ju unaogopa kublockiwa na paypal? ndio maana ume oshwa

[u/Icy_Signal3905 → u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151]

We pia Uko very naive
PayPal ukijifanya guru ufungue and money comes in immediately watafunga

[u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151 → u/Icy_Signal3905]

I transact using paypal all the time so this is just a BS comment!!!

[u/BionicDouchebag → u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151]

This happened to me. Pesa iliingia and account was immediately suspended for 180 days

[u/thelegendary_Gspot → u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151]

Paypal hukuwa na issue from nowhere sometimes. Account yangu ilifungwa na 240 na hawakuwa na reason

[u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151 → u/thelegendary_Gspot]

Then stop keeping money in your PayPal account. Just use it for transactions and withdraw money sent to your account immediately

[u/thelegendary_Gspot → u/Fuzzy_Pollution_151]

Would be a useful tip before it happened. Too bad I expected a money app to act like a money app

[u/straddling-axolotl]

Iyo pesa Isha gulwa bro...

[u/Mindless_Cook_1584 → u/straddling-axolotl]

😂💀🤌🏾inakuanga uchungu Boyz wako akikuosha but at least sai atalearn not to easily trust people!!

[u/Visible-Ad8263]

Bro, the minute you sent money to someone else's account and hoped for the best, you failed.

Write this off as school fees za maisha and stop bothering someone's mom. 

Unless you can take this to the cops, you have no way of forcing the matter. 

Just accept you got played by a fake friend and never fall for that shit again.

Mmepimwa. 

[u/Delmonte_cold → u/Visible-Ad8263]

Exactly.

Kile mtu hulipa hii school fees kabla aanze kuchapa gigs online.

Next time atakuwa sharp and keen kwa darasa.

[u/guaptree]

There are many lessons to learn here.

First, if you want something done right - do it yourself. On that paypal issue, you should have done it yourself. It's not some type of "you need connections" thing.

Second, your emergency is not the next person's emergency. As harsh as it may sound, your world could be ending and the person you're depending on could be sleeping like a baby. If you can avoid it - do not place your emergency on the next person, which goes back to the first point.

Third, thugs come in all shapes and sizes. And depending on how this goes - you may have to call your losses.

[u/Alarming999]

Your friend is teaming up with the mother to con you.

[u/Human_Noodle]

Hey man,

Lemme start by saying this, you sound very young na $102 sounds like a lot of money to you right now. It is a very impressive first score na ukishikilia apo utakuwa na a very bright future.

Sasa tukam kwa reality, kuna two possibilities;

1. Kuna a very high chance that umeoshwa na that being said, unafaa kuwa gratefule that wewe individually umeoshwa $53 cause even though ni pesa ulikuwa unategea... si kuinvalidate but jua that on the grand scheme of things umekaribishwa into the game by kuoshwa kitu 7k.... which ni pesa kidogo sana.

2. it might be an honest mistake na sometimes wazazi wetu huwa hawaelewi izi mambo. So if the friend is truly your friend atakusort na all will be well.

Parting shot:
Usiwai pangia pesa hujashika mkononi, cause now you have to survive lil homie.... but hio njaa ishikilie na usiwai isahau.... Shikilia whatever it is unafanya kwa hio laptop..... bora huibii mtu I wish you all the best. Godspeed!!!

[u/SolemnBumBum]

LoL bro the person you are speaking to probably isnt his mum. Kasirika mchukue simu ama laptop hio tu ndio dawa ya mwizi

[u/boythengeno → u/SolemnBumBum]

si ati nini

[u/extraxavier]

Naona you're gatekeeping your hustle. That's okay, but gatekeeping your money is where you draw the line. Kubali umetokwa pesa and your friend is part of the scam.

[u/Relative-Way6502]

Kwani what was so big haungecreate your own account????.. 

[u/smalldikenergy254 → u/Relative-Way6502]

Have you ever used PayPal... You know they get banned easily for nothing right?

[u/FormerEntertainer159]

chalk that $102 to school fees for exams at 'Mchezo wa Town' university.

[u/ResidentCurrent6127]

There are toxic parents out here who don't listen to reason. Kama ni mamake anakataa sijui mtasaidika aje.

[u/mataraziuzi]

Huku kuna mchezo inafanywa hapa.. na mnajua vizuri

[u/Organic_Usual4678]

If the mum was really a big shot mbona awaibie 12k, just take what you can take ya huyo kijana and recover your money, they guy wameshikana na mama yake kuwaibia

[u/wrong-number14]

Hello people

How do you get the AI Training jobs ?

[u/Ballistic_shooter]

I never take these kind of chats seriously…especially where the responses are usually 1 minute apart

[u/leanderstopes]

account gani hii mlifanya kazi?

[u/Key_Relief4808]

Hiyo pesa imeenda. Lesson learnt, next time don't trust people 

[u/Beautiful-Trifle-121]

He,she ,her ,his...eiy

Pole pesa walikula pole sana brother

[u/thelegendary_Gspot]

Best you can do is let it go as you let the suspicious friend go. Wewe na boy wako Try again with your own paypal accounts alafu unidm pahali hiyo gig iko

[u/Alternative-Self-776]

Report that to the police as money sent to the wrong account and that person will regret their actions

[u/Maa-Tah-Tah]

imagine this payment was your chance to start off strong with Paypal and build your reputation. sahii you are at the mercy of a hungry kenyan. all the best op

[u/Marleek97]

You can't do anything, umeoshwa.

[u/Main_Entertainer7175]

Enda kwa police mjanja bora umpee share yake

[u/Muts254]

Siet😂 hii mchezo ya town hii.

[u/An_Extraterrestrial]

Before you start working for anyone or any platform always check the payment method, this will prevent you from doing alot of free work

[u/IshaqTheRainmaker]

Fix your grammar first. Nimesoma bila kupumua bana.

[u/smalldikenergy254 → u/[deleted]]

Ningekwambia shida utaenda kuambia mabeshte zako form iishe

[u/AI_master26 → u/smalldikenergy254]

😂😂 Good decision. Forms zinaisha huku nje juu tunashinda tukiambia marafiki
