I was just reading a horrible article this morning in WSJ that there are organizations enslaving people -- luring them to near Myanmar, then crossing the border, taking their passports and chaining them and torturing them if they don't generate enough income, forcing them to run scams of various sorts.
So it's not impossible that whoever you spoke to that scammed you has it way worse than you.
I hope you can get your money back.
And if not, that you find yeshua and enough to start again. |
Read that same article today. Great paper.
I used to think I was helping society at large if I stayed on the phone so they couldn't scam someone else. But that article says they get in hot trouble if they don't bring in enough leads. What a sad situation.

Op call your bank and stop it. I’m so sorry you went through this. Your bank should be able to stop the transfer. Good luck!

Op, A family member of mine was scammed of about $10,000 a few months ago. I believe they got a little bit back from the bank but most of it was lost... The scammers work a little bit differently in their case....
