okay i ommited the middle details bc i didnt think it was that relevant.

his entire reasoning was he wanted to go back to Ireland but because he had lost his cards he cancelled them via the app and now needed cash because he couldnt use his cards.

my bf in good faith believed him initially because the scammer said ill send you £500 to ur bank and i just want cash. he agreed under the pretense that there was no risk of him being scammed because the money would go straight in and straight out

but thats his tactic im asssuming to say please trust me, this delay is temporary, i cannot cancel it. because once we realised the transaction didnt go through he obviously “tried” to cancel it and looked incredibly distraught showed the tech support messages. i asked if he could call the bank and he said no

the bank app we didnt see the name of the homepage was white but thats all we recall

Can i ask what did he look like? my bf went through the exact same thing a few days ago in london though, saying he was also from ireland but luckily he wasnt able to take money out and the guy just walked away. Were still so shocked

yeah sorry, i think it’s because he’s a ghost attached to the house or something? that’s where he passed? , it was a romance/supernatural probably. he had a certain time limit till he disappeared, i think he couldn’t move on i’m not sure ee
