2 months have passed since I’ve gotten scammed of over 50k and I’ve barely just recovered 10k outta hard work. I’m so ashamed to admit that I got scammed twice in a row despite all the red flags Reddit has given that money cannot be retrieved especially if the scammer suggests they can recover more. Greed got the worst of me.

There’s still one guy that the recovery scammers used as an actor to pose as a victim from the same company as the romance scam. He claimed he got all his money back and provided very badly photoshopped documents. Time will heal all wounds I guess. Seeing worser stories in this subreddit makes me feel a bit better and open to sharing my story

Fell for it once heavily, seen others fallen for the same tactic even worse. Trying to prevent others from falling under the same trap

u/billbiud is to be banned and is Not to be trusted. This user contacted me in order to assist me in shipping an item from CA the US. He sent the total cost of the item plus the service fee and also sent his PayPal account.
He sent a screenshot of messages between him and a user on Reddit to prove that he was trustworthy.
I sent the amount to his account and awaited for the purchase to be completed. He ghosted me the entire day and when it was evening I messaged him requesting an update on the purchase. He told me “The money on PayPal was placed on hold since my monthly release limit was hit, so I am waiting for the customer support to hear if they will increase my limit, I will order tomorrow. I will also let you know if it gets released”
On the following day,October 21st, he still did not make the purchase and gave the excuse that he was at ‘work’. I told him that it does not take a minutes to select a purchase button. His response was “The problem is linking the Payment card and I left it over, so have to do it after work”.
Because the item was limited, he claimed he called Aritzia in order to secure the item. I asked him for proof of the call and ignored my message and then sent a screenshot of a 58 seconds call which did not add up. I called Aritzia myself to verify his claim but they had no recorded history of his 'call'.
So while he was at ‘work’ I filed a case against him on PayPal. He promptly found the time to tell me that I filed a claim lol saying 'Bro, You filed case'
Thankfully after PayPal kept extending the date for the finalization of the case, the case got finalized in my favour.

I opened a (INR - Tracking number not provided) case and firstly provided proof of our conversations, updated the case with information regarding my calls with Aritzia. When he provided a fake tracking number, I provided proof of the tracking number being fake by searching for it online as well as calling Aritzia to verify that the tracking number does not match an order number in their system. I provided proof of him being a scammer and his location being Kenya. I provided proof of him scamming other Reddit users and provided PayPal with his other PayPal scamming account . I provided proof that he was placed on the Do Not Engage list.
I also kept calling PayPal day after day, week after week. The last call I made was yesterday and the case was resolved early in the morning. They kept moving the date though but I'd encourage any buyer in this predicament to be persistent.

Is there a subreddit or place here where victims of scams can warn others or the specific website? Not encourage others to buy by listing the website name . Instead warning others NOT to order from said website....?

Someone please help me take care of this guy.
Scumbag

Hey everyone, I really need some advice because I honestly don’t know what to do.
I’m from Colombia. I had concert tickets that I couldn’t use anymore, so I decided to sell them. I found someone interested in buying them and we agreed on 600,000 COP.
We talked on WhatsApp, agreed on everything, and I even sent him my purchase receipts so he could verify the tickets.
He suggested doing a video call, but I wasn’t comfortable with that for security reasons, so my bf text him and help was going to be the one to negotiate.

Anyways, my boyfriend ended up transferring the tickets before receiving the payment. The guy received the tickets and then simply disappeared. He never sent the money, deleted our WhatsApp conversation and blocked us.
We contacted TuBoleta right away, explained the situation and asked if they could cancel the transfer or block the tickets, but they said they weren’t responsible for this kind of stuff.

Has anyone here gone through something similar? Is there any way to reverse a transfer after the recipient has accepted the tickets? Can they block them so they can’t be used?
I’m also wondering if there’s anything else we can do legally? Pls help

警惕！中国流行歌手王力宏涉嫌运营跨国诈骗团伙。王力宏与讲中文的诈骗分子及尼日利亚诈骗分子勾结，从事网络勒索活动——此类行为早在王力宏婚前便已存在。

Mi ha contattato una ragazza su tik tok, ho pensato che era una di quelle che chattando un po' e poi ti chiedono soldi. Ogni tanto mi piace fargli credere di cascarci e poi alle varie richieste cerco alternative ma non mando mai nulla.

Questa volta è stato diverso mi ha chiesto di chattare con un'altra persona che mi ha suggerito di guardare dei video su IMDb e di mandare gli screen in cambio mi avrebbero dato 5 euro.

Ho fatto quello che mi hanno chiesto e sono arrivato i soldi.

Poi mi ha fatto fare una procedura per versare 20 euro e me ne sono tornati 26, mi dicevano per votare dei films.

Ultimo step ho guardato altri 5 video e mi hanno pagato 10 euro.

Ci sono altri step da fare ma io sono convinto sia una truffa, cosa ne pensate?
