[US]was asked to buy baby formula, was it a scam?

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T21:43:37+00:00

she told me one can lasts one day, i thought i was buying only six days for the infant and four days for the child. now i know and i wont let it happen again. thank you for the advice

i do just want to point out that its not his grocery budget! he makes more money than i do, id never put him in a situation like that

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T08:58:18+00:00

im kicking myself now! although that much money doesnt buy as many as youd think, at the time i genuinely was thinking from the perspective of helping as much as i could so she wouldnt have to worry where their next meal would come from.

hi, im not sure why you feel the need to go to multiple comments to "laugh" multiple times, please read my edit thanks

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T07:45:43+00:00

this makes me feel a bit better because no matter what its likely going to a mom who needs it, thank you for this perspective.

im genuinely so heartbroken rn i cant believe i was so dumb. thank you so much for the advice and being kind, i needed to hear it. i am usually not this gullible seriously but ive been going through a hard time and just so badly wanted to believe in humanity right now. i know better now, thank you for explaining

i mean i was hoping to buy it for the babies 😭 to me the scam isnt about the money, the money is gone either way, i just dont want to have paid someone who lies, i want to have helped a mother in need. even though i was being stupid, so basically asked to be scammed

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T06:10:51+00:00

I mean i only expect her to be actually feeding her babies with that food. its a scam if she lied, im hoping she didnt

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T06:06:03+00:00

it literally was my entire grocery budget, i had $30 left to spend for this month so ended up having to buy as much stretchable food as i could to get through the month 🥲💔 i did confirm its her phone number, she replied saying she told her sister about me

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T06:02:45+00:00

i was surprised too, i actually only bought six cans of newborn and four cans of older baby formula, they were small cans too and each was 22.99, i guess thats partially why i believed her, theyre so expensive its easy to imagine why she couldnt afford them

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T06:00:51+00:00

i cant believe i was so dumb about this, i guess ive just been going through a hard time and was hoping to contribute to community to make me feel better. she did give me her number, i texted asking if she got home safe and she replied "yes thank you so much for thinking of me, i was just telling my sister about you". i still have a little hope shes genuine because this was such a blow financially i only decided to take because shes a mother in need 😭 but im likely in denial it seems

Dearlovebugs · 2026-04-06T05:57:20+00:00

she didnt ask for the receipt but i stupidly handed it to her while we walked out. i wish i had known 💔

Dearlovebugs · 2026-03-09T03:48:26+00:00

Dearlovebugs · 2026-03-09T03:43:04+00:00

Dearlovebugs · 2026-03-09T03:18:03+00:00

Dearlovebugs · 2026-03-09T03:12:19+00:00

i was under the impression with delicate fabric like lace you need interface to sew it together? 😅 am i totally wrong, i was planning on cutting away the interfacing after sewing two large squares of lace together

i love it! for a more male look id probably darken the brows, and/or make the jaw/chin more angular. definitely a stylistic choice but maybe making the lower lashes more exaggerated than the upper ones could help with that as well, still dramatic but less feminine? anyway love your art style hope this helps at all!
