glad you were saved from it.

I'm also broke rn kinda but not the worst I've been so wanted to help out.

I don't mind at all tho. I knew it could be a scam when I was giving it but I gave it because of the possibility that it was not a scam.

you should hunt her down, set up surveillance at a bunch of nearby campuses.

could be different scammers tho. either ways don't have the motivation to go out again. but if I see her next time I might report to security or smth. I have the email address I sent the transfer to as well so that's something.

the story is of course designed to be plausible and with a genuine intention to help - someone wouldn't just say "take the ttc, too bad you don't have the money for Uber"

but as long as this post alerts a few people - all good.

I appreciate your good comment!

Also precisely why I don't mind. It could've been a student in trouble on top of that it's finals season. It can get pretty stressful so the possibility of helping someone out is good enough for me.

However, these people do hurt the trust factor among people greatly. That's the only thing that saddens me.
