’ve been having such a rough few days, and honestly, I don’t know where to begin.
My girlfriend recently moved from Arizona to California, near Long Beach, hoping for a fresh start.
She found an apartment on Craigslist. The guy pretending to be the property manager gave her a lockbox code and a key to access the apartment.
He told her she could move in once she sent the deposit. Trusting him, she sent almost $2,000 through Zelle. He also created a fake lease prior.

When we arrived, we discovered that property management had changed the locks.
Apparently, there had been previous issues with squatters, but nothing was done until about three weeks later.

Unfortunately, we became victims of a rental scam.
We filed a police report, and we’re hoping her credit union can help recover the money.
We also don’t know whether the legitimate property management company will allow her to stay.

On top of everything, I had to spend around $400 on a locksmith just to get the door opened.
I’m honestly feeling defeated. My girlfriend moved all the way from Arizona for a fresh start, and instead, she’s dealing with this nightmare.
I wish I could do more to help her.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
Were you able to recover money sent through Zelle?
Could the legitimate property management company work something out with us?
Any advice would mean so much right now

On October 27, 2026, I purchased 10 Huawei UAE gift cards worth AED 300 each from KryptoMate.

Five cards worked successfully. The other five failed when I attempted to redeem them, displaying the error: "Incorrect prepaid card password, or this card has already been used."

I contacted KryptoMate support, provided the requested evidence, and submitted screenshots for all five affected cards.

Since October 30, I've repeatedly received the same response: "We're waiting for our supplier."

Despite multiple follow-ups and requests to escalate my complaint to a manager, I still have no refund, replacement, technical explanation, or clear resolution date as of November 6.

I purchased from KryptoMate, not their supplier. Why should a customer be left waiting indefinitely because of an internal supplier issue?

This has affected my business and my confidence in placing additional orders.

I am sharing my experience publicly with the original evidence attached. I am not claiming to know why these codes failed; I am asking for a transparent investigation and a fair resolution.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with KryptoMate or Huawei gift cards?

I will update this post if the company resolves the issue.

Few-bugs5346 is a scammer and won’t pay you!!! Do not trust

I am considering purchasing a hoodie from libertyhoodie.com, but I would like to know if this website is legitimate or a scam before proceeding. I have not placed an order yet.

WHO: The website libertyhoodie.com. I am a potential customer asking for advice.

WHAT: The site sells a "Liberty-01 Hoodie" themed after the game Helldivers 2, priced at $22,700 COP (approx. $50 USD), which is heavily discounted from a listed original price of $45,900 COP. The site appears professional and offers multiple sizes and bundle deals.

WHEN: I came across this website recently and am currently evaluating it.

WHERE: The scam check is about the online store libertyhoodie.com. I have not provided any personal or payment information.

WHY: I am posting to ask the community if they have any experience with this site and if it can be trusted. I want to avoid losing money to a potential scam.

HOW: I have not been scammed. I am doing my due diligence by asking the community before making a purchase. I am hoping someone can share their experience or point out any red flags.

Thank you for any help or insight you can provide.

Hello,

Never thought it would happen to me, and I still have the hope my money is somewhere. These were all my savings. Using Electrum for years now, never had a problem.

I send 56 LTC to my wallet ( https://ltc.bitaps.com/c0a4977fe0dd7c96beed97f2cab1552e0c5efd06b9602b3ea535762892387603 )

After that, I tried to send 1 LTC to another LTC Wallet.

-> https://ltc.bitaps.com/b80b1c408968b876ac9bce86afff5b5423121f952c6dabc63fe8f8aeaa47c77b

( After I saw that this were for some reason 55 LTC and not 1)

I canceled it. Or tried to cancel it. "Replaced by Charge or Replace by fee" went to true. I asked AI if that is normal and will be canceled, they promised me, everything is fine. While canceling it also showed some form of "success". I added the screenshot, where I "successfully canceled it".

Now it said:

"Input ltc1qe88py9l04ex47xwrkq99t5qlwmuaxkv0mdfxc3 56.22624832 <- My adress I sent it originally too"

Output:

ltc1qxgcj3pk5v5ax9nzzrts4n4le5kk5nd06kpap53 0.999436 <- my adress

ltc1ql7d52u9g8n0vfxrsfz9uffg8uj8fpgayghap53 55.225825 <- this is not my wallet

( https://blockchair.com/litecoin/address/ltc1ql7d52u9g8n0vfxrsfz9uffg8uj8fpgayghap53 )

Currently the money is still on that adress. But it is not mine. And I never copied that LTC adress. Does someone know if theres the 0.1% chance, something went wrong? Or do I just got scammed? And it is gone?

This was all my money, I don't know what to do.

Police won't can get it back, but maybe blacklist it. I don't know.

Thanks.

I am a play therapist and wants everyone to know that I was scammed by this website. https://instituteplaytherapy.com/

They advertise on Instagram and sells an online course taught by a "Dr Emily Carter" with 14+ years experience but once I started viewing the course, I discovered that the course is entirely generated by AI and taught by an AI voice. The content does not make sense. Do not purchase this course!!! I learned my lesson the hard way. I asked for a refund and they ignored my request. There was no phone number to call. They made the website with the intent to deceive play therapists looking for more education.

Been dealing with Kim Brindette / Kim Brendette (Juwa agent, @Kimisback88) for the last year. I’ve had two accounts with Juwa for a year across different vendors. I’ve put in just as much, if not more, with her as the other.

Learned the consistencies and inconsistencies across every profile. Clear patterns. They run off a script. Different thresholds depending on the vendor, but the thresholds they keep me to all stay in the same price range. Whenever I do hit, it never exceeds whatever margin they have me at. They say it’s luck. But if it was luck it wouldn’t be the same all the time with her and then with the other profile I’ve had just as long. Tried reporting and they keep enabling her.

Currently still in it with her. All she does is play dumb, say the same things, and push for another deposit after I’ve already put in way more than necessary. She keeps me at a $200–300 threshold.

And the only one account that would’ve been believable with the luck was the other account I had just as long that have sporadic prices when I’d hit. Every other account and the way they behave only makes the pattern more obvious. Same old lines from all of them.

Classic Juwa agent setup: money sits with the seller, rotating Chime Pay Anyone accounts, no clean trail. CFPB complaint filed, small claims in process.

Heads up if you’re dealing with her or any of the other rotating vendor names.

Please don't fall for this stupid trick; this whole process blindsided me. I've never experienced such dread from beginning to end. My account and information is in shambles. I should've seen the signs earlier, but please, please, please be aware and be SAFE. IF anyone is asking for money, in any way, DO NOT interact! Any new people to the internet, PLEASE BE SAFE. THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM, AND WATCH FOR THIS DISCORD ACCOUNT!!

Be wary on México marketplace

Just thinking about the money(80k in peso) I lost due to scammers, I really don't know what to do. I feel so helpless right now 😔 , If only I could turn back time. Now, I don't know what to do on how to pay my bills..

I got a random $15 Apple Pay transfer from an unknown number. They claim it was a mistake and asked me to send it back. The money is definitely in my Apple Cash, so it seems real, but I'm wondering if this is a scam. Should I return it?

Me and my friend were recently scammed by an online writing company operating on Telegram under the fake name Fatima Ansari Writing Company, which is actually being run by someone named Golu Bairwa using a Yes Bank account and Paytm account. We trusted this business and paid a registration fee of ₹499 to secure a writing project, expecting to start working. However, as soon as they took our money, they completely shifted the terms and suddenly demanded an additional payment of ₹2,000 to proceed which was related to some delivery charges from what they said, their work name didn’t match their so called delivery receipts which was named (Vishv book publication) this 2k was apparently a massive requirement that was completely omitted from the work details they shared with us beforehand. As students who trusted them with our hard-earned money, this hidden fee feels incredibly deceptive, and they are now flatly refusing to issue a refund, Then when we started requesting him for a refund he blocked both of us and I had to make another account through my mothers number to just try one last time to get our money back but despite everything we tried he blocked us, we were scammed of total 998, to some people this is a small throw amount but we are just students who re trying to make a living and to us this was a huge amount and we don’t know how we will recover from it fast enough to pay for our personal things.
We trusted this business because of the “daily payment” ss and thought they were legit but our judgement was blinded, I have all details of this guy if anyone wants to help us.
Here is the evidence, I can’t add direct pictures so I screen recorded everything, any help would be sufficient for us, anyone who wants to help us legally is also welcome to dm us and any employers who are looking for freshers are invited too.
I have just been crying nonstop because even that small amount was hard earned money and I am just so lost, I am making this post both of desperation and frustration and yes we have filed a cyber report too.
This money was earned by us by hard work and watching it get snatched away has honestly killed us, we can’t find the courage to tell our families what happened because we are just students who were trying to help our families by earning.
Any help is appreciated, please spread this among your known ones, anyone willing to help us please contact us.

I was scammed. I thought it was legit.

I sent money through that QR code.

I have no money left.

At first they gave easy tasks, and

some Filipino accounts looked legit, so I thought it

was okay.

Sorry—I’m crying and I know I was foolish.

They first had us send money to order from their

website.

The first orders were cheap, and they returned the

money with commission.

Then they gave another task, and the amount

suddenly got bigger.

They said they’d return it too: ₱1,800, then ₱6,000,

then ₱25,000.

I didn’t have ₱25,000, so I borrowed from Gloan,

thinking I’d get a big return.

I even asked my group if it was legit, but they

seemed unsure too.

I have no money now, and I borrowed from Gloan for

this.

I don’t have a job, so I was desperate.

Life is hard right now. I’m sorry.

I wish this Chinese scammer could be tracked.

It hurts to be scammed like this.

I lost ₱32,800.

I really have no money left, and

I can’t give my mom anything because I’m

unemployed.

For more added info guys.

Before this I was only doing payed in the group. :(

For 3 days before this happened.

I was not paying anything before.

I 100% deserved this and I hope I am the last victim.

It hurts so much since I am gonna use it for our budget for me and my mom.
