I am a victim of scam.
I am embarrest and feel like a fool. the scammers prey on gulible people they had asked to me to go to the bank and withdraw$31K to pay the people who were involved with child pornography. Thankfully the bank was closed. SO they changed gears for me to go to home depot and purchase giftcards of $2000 a piece I only could only purchase 3 so I paid $6,000 and never followed through with the transaction My hubby came home and was furious for me for falling for this scam.He yelled into the phone that he was going slit his throat and kill him. If he ever got a hold of him. i don't even know what I was to do with these gift cards. WE got the home depot fraud department involved, they will try to get our money back it sounds promising I am an idiot. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

I'm so sorry I'm glad it wasn't more. Hopefully home Depot can help.

Don't be hard on yourself. This happens all the time in so many different ways. I gave some phishing website my phone password a few weeks ago but realized my mistake quickly and changed all my passwords. Nothing happened.
I hope the fraud department is able to help. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

I am so sorry this happened to you, Bizi. I also fell for a scam to the tune of $300 in gift cards. The scammers posed as a friend who asked for help via email. They said it was for their niece's birthday, who was dying of liver cancer. I was eager to help and hypomanic and rushed into action.
I felt pretty silly when i found out it was a scam too. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's natural to want to help, and shows we have good hearts. Let's be mad at the fraudsters, who are heartless. It only takes one time, now i am much more careful about fraud and you will be too. |

I also got scammed out of $500 in my bank account. Had to close it and open a new one plus change ids and passwords. The bank replaced the money but it took around 2 months.
