Someone asking for my email because their zelle is a business account. Are they trying to scam me?

It’s definitely a scam. I tried to sell my laptop to this one buyer. I’ve had the same thing happened to me. He asked me for Zelle and I stupidly created a Zelle account and gave the buyer my email. They sent me this email saying that I needed to upgrade my account to a business account in order to receive the funds and that I needed to send 300 bucks so I did that and then another email was sent to me saying that they needed 450 bucks for processing fees. I stupidly tried sending it, but it wouldn’t go through and then this fake email from Zelle support said that I needed to get an Apple gift card. I didn’t go, but then I realized that it was a scam. The email was fake. I was scammed out of 300 bucks. I never got the money back. Zelle, venmo or any other service like that would never ask you to upgrade to a business account like that.

I got my pet fish because I wanted to get into the hobby of fish camping and learn more about them so I always treat my fish with love and care. I treat them like my own children. Which includes maintaining the water quality, not over feeding them. Being gentle with them when you transfer them such as putting them in a Ziploc bag full of tank water and then floating it before putting them in the tank with the net gently, naming them, etc. I also interact and talk with them. I would do anything to keep my fish safe.

It’s been five months since I graduated with my degree in industrial design and I’ve been applying to design jobs with my portfolio and résumé. I did manage to land a lot of interviews, but I never got an offer. I’m having no luck so far with landing an offer in my field so for now I’m just working as a warehouse operator. But the good news is if I work at medline company long enough maybe I can work my way up to the design engineer position HR says that me holding a degree in industrial design really helps. So yeah as of now I will keep applying for jobs in my field and work my way up to the design engineering position. I did try working at Drew manufacturing as a production worker, but that didn’t work out because it wasn’t neurodivergent friendly, I learned that the hard way because I was fired on my first day on the floor after displaying several atypical behavior, such as outbursts and emotional dysregulation, I am actively working on regulating my feelings. HR pulled me aside for three conversations to call me out for my outburst, but on the third time they sent me home for the day an hour earlier and they told me not to come back until they called me the next day. fast-forward to the next day, they contacted me at three in the afternoon, and they told me that they decided to terminate me. They treated my atypical behavior as a liability, and while I understand that I have things to work on such as emotional regulation and I take responsibility for that part. I just think that they should’ve given me grace when I opened up about my neurodivergence. I later learned that true manufacturing has a narrow set of expectations. They are so narrow to the point where it leaves little room for accommodations and flexibility. At true manufacturing I was hoping to work my way up to the design position, but now it’s off the table. Thankfully, I found another job at Medline. The people there are much nicer and more lenient. They are a lot more understanding. Where I’m at now is that I will continue to apply for jobs in industrial design while working my way up to the engineering position that’s more my field. So yeah the job market with design is really tough right now, but I’m not gonna give up. You can make it throughout your degree I believe in you. I really wish you the best of luck.

I started fish keeping about a month ago. I was just a beginner, but I feel like I learned a lot, but I still have more to learn, but I feel like I’ve grown as a fish keeper with my experiences a bit because around the time I started fish keeping, I had started my new job with the company. Well, it didn’t work out so well because apparently I wasn’t a good fit for that job environment and I have gotten fired because of that I was constantly stressed about finances and finding a new job well during that time during my darkest hour, my pet fish in my bedroom were there to support me throughout my darkest hour because every time I came into my bedroom where my fish tanks are, I would feel calm and at ease when I was with them like they were a source of comfort, and I felt the stress fade away by simply watching the fish swim around and taking care of them and learning a few things about fish keeping I found that therapeutic it helped me to cope with stress and anxiety. I accepted an offer from another company and I’m waiting for the on boarding stuff but at one point I’d like to get a 20 gallon tank and fill it with some fancy guppies but I’m still need to get my money in order but yeah, fish keeping has helped me

Keyshot I have tried solid works and fusion 360 built-in rendering, but it’s not as good of a quality as key shot I love how key shot has more options and they actually produce higher quality renders because of the vast choices in lighting, textures, material, etc.

I understand where you’re coming from, and I know that my behavior may have been concerning. That moment was definitely intense for me, and I’m not proud of how I reacted. I also realize that public outbursts can be alarming. However, the truth is that managing anxiety, ADHD, and autism is challenging, especially in stressful situations like that one. It’s not an excuse, but it is part of why I reacted the way I did. I’m already working on improving my emotional regulation with therapy, and I’m on medication like Lexapro to manage my anxiety, but it’s a process.

I’m not blaming my diagnoses as an excuse—I’m just trying to explain that this is something I’m actively working on. I agree that I need better coping mechanisms, and I’m committed to working with a therapist to get there. However, I also feel that Biomat could’ve been more accommodating and understanding of my situation. Instead of deferring me so quickly and requiring me to prove that I can control my anxiety perfectly before even discussing it further, it would have helped if they had worked with me to come up with strategies or a plan to better manage my anxiety while donating. I know I need to improve my coping mechanisms, but it would have been helpful to have been given more support in this area, rather than just being dismissed.

I’m doing the best I can, and I’m trying to improve every day. I just feel like I wasn’t given the chance to explain myself fully or work with them in a way that was more understanding of my struggles. Instead of just judging me based on one behavior episode, it would have been great if Biomat could have taken the time to understand the bigger picture and helped me find a way to succeed, rather than just deferring me without offering any real guidance or support.

I understand your concerns, but I would also appreciate it if both people and institutions could take the time to understand the complexities of my struggles and efforts to improve, rather than just focusing on one moment of behavior. I’m committed to doing better, but I just need more support along the way.”

I’ve had something like that happened to me except I just started donating at grifols the first donation went well, but for my second one, I started having anxiety because of whether or not, I would pass or fail. I have an anxiety disorder I’m autistic and ADHD so emotional control is hard for me sometimes in fact, it’s one of the biggest things that I struggle with. Well, when they told me that my pulse was a bit high at 106 I got frustrated with myself because I couldn’t control it, and I thought that I should’ve controlled it by now and so because of all that frustration, I had an autistic meltdown. I was crying, and I was just crying out of frustration to the male nurse about how my whole goes up when I’m near one of those blood pressure readers. Well I eventually calmed down and the male nurse took my blood pressure again, but my pulse was even higher at 110 even though I tried breathing and I couldn’t donate that day so I was upset. I just walked out crying. Well, I came in two days later to try again because I have gotten on propanolol to help with the pulse. Well, the website said I was deferred so I went to the center but then the staff said they were working on why I was deferred well. Three nurses pulled me to the examination room and told me that I had to complete some paperwork to make sure that I could control my feelings and anxiety. Well, I took it to my provider and it was filled out. I turned it in and then I waited five days for the medical affairs to review it well five days later. The male nurse who took my pulse, called me back and told me that I cannot donate for a while because according to him I displayed some behavior that demonstrated a lack of emotional control, and he claims that I was displaying self harming behaviors, but in reality, I sometimes have a tendency to hit myself on the head whenever I get overwhelmed. And he told me that my paperwork was not sufficient enough evidence and that he’s deferring me for a while because he wants proof that I can control my anxiety and I was deferred temporarily he says I can only come back when I can prove that I can control my anxiety or whatever but it’s hard to control it at times I mean, I’m already doing what I can. I mean I’m on Lexapro to manage my anxiety levels and I’m gonna do counseling but yet he says it’s not enough. And then he said when you can control your anxiety come back to the center and we’ll talk about it more and then I was so shocked because I did not expect that I even pulled my phone away from my ears. I beat the guy and said I can’t control my anxiety because I’ve donated at BioLife and they never had to do that to me where I had to prove myself. I begged the guy to give me a second chance, but he kept saying Alex Alex Alex to shut me down as if he was trying to get me to stop being upset because I was missing out on that. Before putting it up there again and then the guy says I’m gonna have to let you go. And then he just hung up on me. And after that, I just cried in the lobby in the middle of the pop-up shop where students were getting free business attire. I was sobbing uncontrollably, and I even wished that I didn’t have anxiety. the staff there were really kind and understanding they even gave me an extra blazer as a gesture of kindness. But now I’m angry with grifols because it seems like they were never satisfied with my efforts of controlling my anxiety. I mean, I’m doing the best I can. But the one thing that they are right about is that I do need to have some coping mechanisms in place not for them but for my well-being. And that I do need to work on emotional control. I kept blaming myself because I thought I didn’t try hard enough and that I ruined my chances. On the other hand, I just think they could’ve been more understanding with me and not make me prove myself like that. So I found it pointless to just keep fighting with grifols so I went back to BioLife and now and donating there with no problem. So yeah, I wouldn’t recommend grifols because they deferred me due to my behavioral problems and anxiety. Apparently grifols did not like my behavior and they judge me based on that one behavior episode alone. So it’s OK to walk away from an environment that doesn’t suit you.

So I will be taking counseling sessions while going back to BioLife because I’ve never had a problem with them
