I Was Scammed By My "Friend"

Ойын-сауық

One of my informants-someone I considered a friend- decided to scam me! Please remember that scamming will never get you anywhere in the long run.

    @Dont_Tread_on_me Of course... I was trying to help out someone who was seemingly trying to better themselves. You can't write off a whole continent because some, even a lot, or even if almost all were corrupt/bad. Everyone deserves a chance individually. However, I'm not stupid, so I only gave him half up front and we are only talking about an amount I spend on snacks at a gas station for my family, not some huge sum. That is worth it to me to see if someone wants to prove themselves or take advantage. I've been to South Africa and met some of the hardest working people who live in what we would call a shed, but would still give it to you if you needed it. However, due to corruption in the government and a poor economy they are not able to pull themselves out of poverty. The only people who truly get ahead in Africa are the ones who are corrupt or work for western companies. The schools we visited were single room shacks with campfires for kitchens. If the entire next generation were honest hardworking people, it would still take them 40+ years to turn the government around. So I'm not going to blame one individual for how his country is ran.

Chone was an Asshole and a Jerk and Karice was nice and sweet. 🤣 I stopped posting as Karice for a couple of days, I think I said something like,"I'm going on vacation for three days." I still continued posting as Chone. After the three days, I started posting as Karice again. A Poster asked Karice,"How was your vacation?" CHONE WILSON responded,"My vacation was good, thanks for asking. 😀 The Poster responded,"Uh, Chone, why did YOU answer the question I asked KARICE? Oh crap! I forgot to log out as Chone and log back in as Karice. Other Posters also noticed this. I made up a VERY lame excuse and claimed I got Karice and Chone Wilson mixed up. Posters were like,"Chone, how could you get Karice and yourself mixed up? And besides, Chone, you didn't go on vacation. You've been here all along!" Other Posters agreed. I finally came clean and admitted to being both Karice and Chone Wilson. 🤭🤣 Posters had a good laugh out of that one! 🤣🤭

    I actually had something like that happen to me 2 yrs ago. A girl whom I met on snapchat we became fast friends, but after a month I started to catch on to certain things, she was a scammer. She is someone who would ask for money saying it cost $30 then she'll call 2 more times and say she keeps getting the price wrong and ask for more money and item that cost only $30 was now $100. When you question her about it she'll start screaming at you because she hates being questioned, in reality she knows your on to her B.S. She lives 8 hrs from me, one morning I got text from her saying she was there in the city I live in. But she wouldn't tell me where she was at and every time I would ask where she was at she just say "OMG this place is the devil". Then she said someone was going to text me and don't get the Police involved, I knew right there and then it was another one of her B.S. things. Long story short the person text me saying shes been kidnapped and they want a lot of money for her but, if i can get him 1K he can sneak her out. I knew right away it B.S. They said dont called the cops because they scanners on and they know and they'll kill her. I straight out told them I don't believe this crap and so find someone else to scam. The person got pissed and cussed me out and bunch other stupid stuff. I just blocked them afterwards. And of course she blocked me on insta, snap, and my phone number afterwards. One way I knew it was B.S. was because her name is Ivette and the who text me spelled correctly, anyone who would of just met her would have spelt her name Yvette.

Just wicked, twisted souls on the mortal coil. Let's be our best to counteract them as Ben does as well as his colleagues and equals, by being lovely quality humans. What a pathetic "life" the scammers and thieves lead. Be well everyone, and thanks a million Ben lad.

It's best to stand by myself rather than stand with snakes 🐍
