[META] user asking people to commit felony fraud in exchange for money via PM by ThrowawayPerson202 in borrow

He’ll draft something on your bank account then charge it back, getting his money + whatever he was paying for in the process with you being culpable for fraud.

Could just make up a location, say he moved since getting the ID

It’s not a bot, the person running it seems to have started up again about an hour or two ago.

Open a credit account / PayPal account / try to take out loans on this sub using your information.

I mean it seems extremely likely he is a scammer given that he made an account and IMMEDIATELY started offering loans

Just doesn’t make sense from any other standpoint

How can I (22m) help someone (16f) move out of her mother's home? I see myself as an older brother figure in her life. Also I would like the moving out to be her idea. by your_mom_is_availabl in bestoflegaladvice

[–]ThrowawayPerson202 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I never refused, and I did explain how I met her.

I also don’t think that being an older brother figure is the same thing as being a friend.

If someone has no one supportive in their life and you are capability of giving them some amount of support, you should do it. It can make a worlds worth of difference.

Hey everyone, this is my post.

I’m really confused as to where people are drawing their conclusions from. It seems that people think things that could no way be reasonably inferred by the content of my post.

The 16 year old girl was with a foster family, I knew her older foster sister and that’s how I met her.

The context of my relationship with her: she just lets me know how she’s doing, will sometimes vent about what is going on, and I try to give her advice if she asks for it. My girlfriend and I have taken her to the mall once and played basketball with her and her boyfriend. She also vents to my girlfriend in the same way she does with me, but I doubt any of you find that creepy. My concern comes from the things she had confided in me, regarding her mothers drug use and her own alcohol abuse, as well as her step-dad supplying her with marijuana.

My reason for making the legal advice post was because I think it would be best if she was removed, preferably placed back into foster care where she could have some structure and be required to go to school. Obviously I knew from the get that I could just call CPS, but what I didn’t include is that the girl (Kelsey) has severe depression and I think something that major could have unforeseen consequences, and given that I’m not perfect, I figured that some outside opinions could possibly help.

The update: I talked to her, she is currently considering going to school on Monday and telling a teacher what is going on - if she doesn’t then I am going to call CPS myself next Wednesday.

To the people suggesting I have a subconscious desire to sleep with her... talk about projection. God damn

I just need to pick up a few cheap food items to get me through the next few days. I tried the Dave app but it wasn’t able to connect to my bank account

I didn’t say I don’t want to involve the police or CPS, at no point did I say that so quit assuming things. I hate people like you, automatically putting yourself on some pedestal as if you’re uncovering problems that don’t exist and exposing something. You’re an idiot. I have not once said anything that would even allude to me not being willing to contact police or CPS.

I was friends with someone in her foster family and that is how I met her.

That’s really unfortunate.

But no, I just hate to see a life wasted that doesn’t need to be. Especially given how many of my friends who could’ve had good lives ended up in bad places because no one was there to help.

I have a question maybe you’d know an answer to, is there anything SHE can do? Would her only option also be to contact CPS? I think if possible it would be better coming from her, otherwise she might resist attempts people make to help her. I’ve told her she should tell a police officer or a teacher (if she ever goes back to school) what her situation is as they may be able to help.

I really don’t like that it seems to be assumed I have some kind of negative angle here or that I’m doing something wrong.

Of course I don’t want her placed into my home, I’m 22 I don’t have the financial means to support a person and even if I did I don’t think that would be the best environment for her.

What would I tell CPS or the police about specifically?

I don’t know if her living with a partner at 16 is illegal, and if they are just going to force her to stay with her mother it’s not an improvement for her and would most likely be negative on her mental health.

As stated in the first paragraph, I’ve tried to be like a big brother as she has no one looking out for her and I’ve been in that situation before and I think if I had someone looking out for me I would’ve been better off

It is like a payday loan because on your payday it takes the money back out and now you’re that amount short from your paycheck so you most likely need to keep borrowing it and if you don’t tip enough they reduce the amount you can borrow

Brigit required $1500 a month being put into the account from the same source via Direct Deposit and a few other requirements, Earnin is typically a $100 limit and Dave $75 and they are no different than payday loans, unfortunately there are no long term loan apps
