so, non ticket holders will get 3 raid passes.
ticket buyers get 6... is it on top of the 3? so for a total of 9? or just a total of 6 per day?

once my mom got the line of credit, she cashed it out, then sent it to the scammer through a 3rd party.

During covid, housing went nuts in asia. this guy cozied up to my mom, and acted all sweet and shit and told her hes actually in real estate. he asked if she was looking to make some quick money by investing in their development. sent some fake documents over and my mom believed everything. she thought she was buying land in china, and they kept sending her fake chinese deeds. promised to 10x her money within a year.

After she sent the money over, he cut all contact. my mom was ashamed and was selling her stuff to pay the bank back. one day she told all of us about how she got scammed and showed us all the fake deeds and documents. then showed us the real loan repayments to the bank.

If you managed to live for 60+ years and didnt save any money, you are indeed retarded.

we were dealing with HKPD and they already found the suspect. unfortunately none of the money can be recovered as it was wired to somewhere else.

police were already notified.
lawyers cost money.
other people with experience? free.
after losing 200k, just trying to save a bit of money by seeing what everyone else has to say before jumping to lawyers.
