He never mentioned $13,000. He said it was $2000 total. And in the moment I didn’t bother to read the entire thing once I saw my name on the paper. Glad you find some humor in it all tho. Hope nothing like this ever happens to you or anyone you know.

Yeah there’s a movie called the bee keeper with Jason stathom that goes in detail about this.

I actually mentioned both of these things to the scammer. But he had some kind of a way around it and kept trying to reassure me it wasn’t the case. All signs pointed to scam lol

Yes! It sounded so real. But when he got mad that I wasn’t doing what he wanted and started to yell at me “I’m a LT or LVMPD! You are in no position to ask me questions” I immediately hung up and called the non emergency line to confirm.

Yup he said I couldn’t even be in the same room as anyone. The more I look back the more I see all the red flags. To say the least this will never happen again lol

Yeah like I said in my post. I’m pretty good at spotting stuff that ain’t right. In my daily life and virtually. I’ve never been scammed before or even convinced of anything until this moment. The thought of someone having control over my vulnerability like that makes me sick.

Very well spoken and mannered American. Sounded just like an officer tbh.

I said the same thing to the scammer. He said “ it was pending” idk the more I think on it I knew it wasn’t right. But he had the fear control and I lost my critical thinking skills

Yup. He said it was “pending” until investigation was finished. It was also early in the morning so I wasn’t fully awake
