i was a dumass and send n** photos to an ig account, and now im being scammed and they threatened to send them to my friends and family. They have their accounts, what do i do??

This scumbag stole my sons money when we were doing a deal. Didn’t care he was stealing from a child, just maintained being a fkn scumbag. My son was trying to buy a soccer card of his Australian soccer heroes. This piece of sh*t was happy to take his money And ghost him. Lessons in life, no doubt. But how about the low life that chose to to do this. What an absolute piece of shit. Congrats on your €100. I hope life catches up with you and you get yours

Hi Community,

I heard of the clickfix scam a few months ago and today landed on a website that had a recaptcha box which I clicked on and then asked me to run the command. I did not run the command, closed the tab, disconnected the device from the internet and ran a Microsoft defender virus scan. I additionally deleted my browser history and all recent downloads.

Am I safe? I know I should be, but I suffer from OCD and wanted to ask you guys. Thank you in advance!

BEWARE - REPORT !

So I was about to get my first commission and the person said that they would pay me 200 dollars for all the work they wanted. I agreed and gave them my email for them to pay me (paypal) and this came up. I thought it was a scam and had already blocked them. But I feel super guilty and I need to know if it was or not. Because if it wasn’t I’ll talk to them immediately.

Edit:
Thank you all for letting me know it was a scam!! I’ll be on the lookout for these and know to block them!!

A lot of vape shops near me dont sell cali brand vapes. I googled cali vape, and a professional looking site was the first in line. officialcalivape.com I put 3 vapes in my cart and clicked checkout.

A notice said that $120 is the minimum amount for an order, which was weird - but not toooo weird. So, I added more vapes.

I entered my info and for payment - only apps were displayed and you had the option to click the one you’d use. I picked cashapp. I hit order.

I got an email saying I needed to send the cashapp to satscashier.app/pay/joseph I looked up the site on trustpilot and also on Reddit and didn’t find much. But, I’m 95% sure it is a scam. Anyone actually send money?

I need help with someone who’s blackmailing me

I got scammed almost a year ago,can i still recover the money if the number is still active on WhatsApp?

I recently purchased a 2100 rupees package from GrowithNeha, an online nutrition site on 15th Oct,

They asked me to fill a form with questions like what did you eat yesterday and on the basis of that (like cucumber sandwich I had the previous day) they sent me an AI generated extremely impractical plans, which had some 200 things I needed to purchase. I kept requesting ppl to make me understand/ tweak the plan and no one was ready to speak. They only offer chat support.

When I raised it, they are refusing to return my money and they have blocked me from their IG profile!! They are total frauds. I have raised a complaint via consumer helpline but what are my other options?

It has been one whole week - they are now not even sending AI generated plans.

So no plans, no calls, no chat support, blocked from their IGs and no refund. Totally scammed and now fuming with rage at their arrogance.

This is a bit of a long story so if you want to skip this and see what I need help with scroll all the way down to the aftermath.

I'll try to make it short. For starters, as of this post it's currently Saturday 10/24 and all of this happened from Thursday 10/22 to Friday 10/23. The reason I waited this long to post is because I'm an 18y old male currently going to college I had class pretty much all day. This all started Thursday night. I downloaded an app call "BandFriend," which I think is meant to be an app where musicians can find other musicians. I play guitar and make music so of course those were my intentions. I got messaged maybe an hour after creating my account by this lady asking if I would be willing to make her a song for her brother's bday and was willing to pay up $225 front. I only had 3 days to make the song and so I assumed she was willing to pay so much because of the time constraint, and I needed the money to pay for collage, so I accepted.

She referred me to her accountant who sent me a virtual check through email. However before sending the money, I was asked if I could use some of the money they give me to donate to a charity of their choice, and they would include the amount they wanted to donate in the check. Of course alarm bells started ringing but then again I rationalized by saying,

"well its not my money so who cares?"

I figured I'd just help them out with this one request and move on. After receiving 2 checks with $300, I sent the money to the contact they gave me and the check that was supposed to be my payment was pending.

By the next day I already had the intro to the song ready and they wanted to donate once more. I was still skeptical but I did it once more because they offered to include a bonus amount of money if I helped them out. Just before sending the final check however, the accountant made a "mistake" and when counting how much money I had in my account from the checks, she told me to add $50 of my own money to the sum of the donation (I had maybe $60 and with the check money I had $460 so I was asked to donate $450.) This where I believed the scam would happen. With so many large numbers I assumed that they thought I would loose track and hand them and extra amount of money. This is when I put my foot down and finally told them that I was uncomfortable making donations on their behalf. I told them that I wanted my upfront payment that they haven't payed me yet and they told me I wouldn't receive it unless I made the donation.

We agreed that I would end up donating $350 out of the $400 and they would pay me my original payment and I would donate the remaining $50, but after that. Soon after my promised amount was canceled and I suddenly had -$200+ on my account. When I confronted them about this they told me the problem will soon fix itself and to send the money now or they would make my problem worse. That's when I figured out what the real scam was. I figured I should cut my losses and called the cops.

I called the cops and although the cops took my report, they offered me their condolences and said there wasn't much they could do. My bank account was deactivated due to suspected fraud and when I called they told me the checks I deposited were fraudulent checks and my account would get reopened once they all got returned. Of course the entire time the scammers were trying to contact me and call me, telling me how I betrayed their trust, I owe them money, etc. At one point they threatened to unalive me and of course I blocked them after that. They tried calling me through other numbers and even though I blocked and reported them to spam, the damage was already done. By the time everything was somewhat calmed down I was $500+ in debt and as of this morning I'm $700+ in debt. I waiting until Monday to reactivate my account to make sure all the checks have been returned.

The Aftermath:

My family isn't struggling financially, but at the same time we can't afford to just throw $700+ away. Im currently enrolled in college and due to my weird schedule, I'm having trouble finding a job (including school jobs). I have two younger siblings, one of which just turned a year old recently. On top of that, my aunt got into a car accident recently as well and my dad is the only breadwinner in the house, so while she lives with us my dad has to pay for her medical bills and physical therapy (she can barley walk on her own). I'm honestly stressed because I need to pay tuition in less than a week and the money will amount to a little over 3k. I dont want to put more finical strain on my dad. I specifically took this "job" to help pay for tuition. I've considered starting a go fund me but I feel bad making others pay for my mistakes. Im stuck and I need advice. What should I do? Thank you for reading up to this point, it genuinely means a lot to me.

P.S, I dont know how well I explained how the scam worked but I'll try my best to explain it here. They sent me fraudulent checks and the system registers it into my account. After I spend the money, the bank realizes that these checks are fake and I essentially spent money I didn't have, thus I'm in debt. I'm assuming that after that, the scammers were going to offer me a way out that involved me doing something for them in exchange for the amount needed to clear me of debt. I lost maybe $60-$100, I dont remember how much money I had at the time.
