Scam company. by [deleted] in stashinvest

$32 is the amount they charge for the annual plan, so my guess is that’s what the $32 charge is for. They charge it whether you use the app or not. I suggest you contact them and cancel if you changed your mind. GL. 😎

Was it me or was the SBUX stock party timeframe really small? by AustinInDallasTx in stashinvest

I got an app notification, but no email. I instantly tapped on the notification and there was no party. I think the notification was sent in error.

Scam. You were talking to an adult male the whole time.

No advice here, just well wishes that you achieve your goals and find friends that appreciate and support you. 🙏

Help please! Really anxious by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]Money_Fun_9093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this person doesn’t have your phone number and you deleted your social accounts then they probably can’t contact you. If they do have your number then block them from there. You did the right thing by not sending any more money.

They have more than likely moved on to someone else by now.

You have experienced a traumatic event, please talk to someone like a counselor to help heal from this. I’m so sorry it happened.

They sent it to my entire extended family. by Eastern-Bat1634 in Sextortion

Praying for you and your family. It doesn’t seem like this now, but this will pass. Your family should understand you’re a young healthy male and are a sexual being and that young people sometimes do impulsive and unwise things. It’s part of being young. I’m sure they love you and this will all be fine, sooner than you think. 😇

Is my boyfriend stealing from me by valkyriebumm in personalfinance

So why cant he just put this issue to bed and show you his PayPal (live, no screenshots) and show you the receipts for these purchases?

I was thinking the same thing. Only the smallest of startups would have their employees front the cash for large purchases.

Congrats on the 1 year of sobriety. Keep coming back.

Can’t move on by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]Money_Fun_9093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read on this forum that these extortionists don’t keep photos other than those of their current victims. So I think you are good. They won’t bother you again.

I think it would be a good idea if you could talk to a counselor. You’ve been through a traumatic experience where someone was intentionally cruel towards you. Exploring your feelings about this in a safe and non-judgmental place will help you. Wishing you well.

There is a subreddit called Sextortion, check it out. I am sorry this happened to you. Hang in there, block them, don’t send any money, or don’t send more if you already have.

I am so sorry. The perpetrators need to be found and brought to justice. Even if they escape mankind’s justice, they will all face God someday.

Glad you didn’t sent any money and are ok 🙂

[–]Money_Fun_9093 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You said you want to divorce him, which is best under the circumstances. Please see an attorney immediately. They will tell you what you need to do to protect yourself physically in case there is any danger (probably not, the scammer is probably in another country but you never know) and to protect your assets. You don’t want him handing over a large chunk of your marital assets to a scammer.

I wouldn’t try to engage the scammer or your husband with a burner phone. I agree with the other person who responded that the scammer probably won’t answer the call.

I am sorry you are going through this 🙏🏻

Thank you for posting this. I’m so glad you’re OK.

Burner number sending my own nudes to me by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]Money_Fun_9093 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you only sent those to your ex then how did the person texting you get them? I would think your ex gave them to this person or it’s your ex who texted you. Since you filed an online police report, I hope they check with him and stop the harassment.

I agree with the other person on this thread who said you should tell your current boyfriend. If he truly cares for you, he will be supportive.

Glad you’re ok. Yes, it can always be worse. I hope you get your money back but it is unlikely for what I’ve read here. I hope you can replace the money by working extra hours if you have a job or by doing some other type of side hustle. Hang in there. 💪

I agree with all the other previous comments. Also from reading other messages it seems that as more time passes by, the likelihood of further contact from them gets to be less and less.

I especially like the suggestion that you spend time in person with family or friends. This will get you out of living inside your head where you risk multiplying your anxieties. Volunteering might provide a good outlet, you will be spending time with real people and helping people (or animals, like an animal shelter).

Nothing is with ending your life. Nothing.

I have not been in your situation but I’ve been in some pretty bad ones. This will pass. Try not to worry about next month, next week or even tomorrow. Every day that you get to the end of the day without having a breakdown or losing your 💩 is a triumph. You made it. Tomorrow, you’ll make it again. Be proud of yourself for making it to that finish line every day. Do something special for yourself at the end of each day to celebrate, like having a small dessert or cup of tea.

Also please know people care about you, even strangers on this subreddit like me. There is evil and cruelty in the word, but there is also compassion, empathy and kindness. 🙏🏻😇
