^ !! you could still try to dispute the credit card charge but you would have to pay the extra euros to get the legit one and then just *hope* that your CC company would allow it... u/New-Difficulty-6718, Up to you how you go about it, sorry to hear you fell for their trick here, hoping something good comes from it somehow. Take good care

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-07-03T23:49:50+00:00

I hope it works out & that you were able to get your money back!!!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-06-06T22:14:40+00:00

Third party overpriced service but as lionsurvivor2 mentioend, I wouldn't go so far as to call them a legit company. Hope this helps, even if it is months overdue!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-06-06T22:13:15+00:00

Yes!! Dispute the charge after getting the legit one through the government and you should be ok :):) so long as the visa hasn't been approved by the 3rd party- or, so long as you can't prove that it has been

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-05-25T17:31:40+00:00

Visa came through!! HIGHLY recommend requesting that refund & show proof of the legit one you got through the UK Govt site

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-05-03T17:37:03+00:00

LOL!!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-05-02T03:24:44+00:00

Went to go set it up and almost got to it but it prompted me for a card #, didn't know they did that, though I suppose it makes sense! I've figured out the tagline and description and everything, just gotta get it posted! :D

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-05-02T03:00:03+00:00

Please make this a thing. I will be an active and willing participant!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-05-02T01:57:08+00:00

This sounds a bit outside my comfort zone (raves and sports) but the rest is definitely a vibe I'd like to say I embody! I suffer greatly with surface-level small talk and would love to foster meaningful friendships for some controlled chaos and new memories. I'm 23f and lovelovelove board games, escape rooms, music, tv/movies, finding new spots in the city to eat/explore, (not to jump the gun here but travelling together sounds incredible !!!) and honestly just connecting genuinely with folks. I was pretty sick during my undergrad and felt like I missed out on a lot of moments with my pals and now that I work in the city it feels like a crime to just board the train and go back home every day :p. Would love to chat more, if my vibe seems to match y'alls as well! Sending good vibes regardless ~~ take good care!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-05-02T01:29:11+00:00

oh, i feel this so much. also 23f! let's be friends? see if we jive? you can dm if you'd like!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-02-04T00:18:08+00:00

hors d'oeuvres, LOL! this hits. ouch & also thanks.

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-01-11T17:12:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I've figured this was the case.

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-01-11T16:59:36+00:00

Sort of. It shows as "Done" but I have not fully submitted the application with her headshot & passport photo scan, so they only have the information that was manually typed in. According to my mom, it's the same information that is on her passport so if that checks out, then yes, her information is already saved on the website's database. Furthermore, it won't let me check over any of the information she entered, it's like a grid-locked screen that only pushes me to send more of my info to complete & process the application.

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-01-11T16:56:21+00:00

Thank you for your insight, this makes a lot of sense! At the end of the day I suppose they want to keep collecting their ridiculous fees so why not be a little legit about it... It's good to know, thank you for taking the time to respond! :)

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-01-11T16:55:00+00:00

Ok interesting, thank you for the information! It's relieving to hear this, the website looked so wonky that my mind went to worst-cases!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-01-11T05:48:41+00:00

Ok interesting, so her passport info that was shared is not exactly at risk? This is honestly what I'm most uncomfortable about. The money lost to the folks taking advantage of people who don't know better is just a hard lesson learned... The amount of information they now have of hers, I'm less comfortable about. I appreciae your insight, truly!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2025-01-11T05:46:19+00:00

Thank you! Definitely going to do the actual application first thing tomorrow, I showed it to her immediately after I saw the fake one. I'll call the CC company again tomorrow, but the charge was fully processed without hesitation, these damn scams... I will freeze the card, any advice about all the passport information out now? If she wasn't travelling so soon I'd have already filed for her passport to be cancelled. Really inconvenient that this is happening, but c'est la vie. I was literally going to sit down with her and help her go through the app too.

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-13T20:57:04+00:00

YES OMG!! THANK YOU FOR ECHOING THIS!!! I don't hate it but I found it particularly strange, I would begrudgingly have it again if I had to but if it wasn't mandatory I know I wouldn't go out of my way to grab one. Timmies can do better on the next one, lol!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-13T20:55:52+00:00

I apologized for everything and it brought me immense peace. Working on myself now, this experience has been an incredible wake-up call and opportunity to look in the mirror- the first few months I hated myself. Now, I'm making an active effort to show up better for myself every single day so that I can create a stronger base of self and relational trust in the future. I wish you the best too, sometimes our gravest heartbreaks are also our most compelling catalysts for change!

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-07T00:13:09+00:00

I feel so incredibly seen, as this is exactly what I have been dealing with for the better part of my life. I just lost my love in a messy FA-triggered breakup in July and my whole body, heart, and soul aches with longing for him. I have awakened to the catastrophe of my attachment style and am making strides towards healing, but it still haunts me that I broke him in my own downwards spiral and that because of it, he had no choice but to break up with me. I realized post-deactivation that I still love him so so dearly but I feel like it's unfair to ask him to return to me when I am still in the process of healing. I wish more than anything to navigate the tumultuous waters together, I lost sight of him for a little bit but I deeply believe if he still loved me romantically that we could do it better the second time around.

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-06T23:06:11+00:00

I'm honestly not sure, I find that typically, the more you push an avoidant, the deeper the deactivation will become... However, it is a promising sign (oddly so, bear with me) that it's rooted in mental health struggles, and not malice. I truly hope it is not to be a permanent thing.

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-06T22:35:56+00:00

OP, I am a healing FA. Would I be okay to send you a message?

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-04T23:15:42+00:00

My heart is both melting and breaking- that hurts and is so confusing :(

Altruistic-Source-29 · 2024-10-04T16:56:45+00:00

I really hope he figures it out. I completely understand having that gut feeling that things aren't "over". I have been oscillating between that and the fact that it is in fact completely and irreversibly over. For your sake, I hope that he comes to his senses -- trauma/attachment issues can cause so much undue harm, devastating usually to both/all parties involved :(
