This is very serious.
I was scammed through Reddit of all places, trying to get help just to stay safe a month, and now I owe 2500 or else I can possibly go to jail. This is not a joke either. And I'm absolutely terrified. I've been having constant panic attacks since I found out. I didn't know it was a scam, I fell for it, I can't take the money back because it paid for rent. I know I'm stupid for falling for it, but I needed to keep this house. But now it's a worse hole than it's ever been, and I'm being threatened with a possible felony since it's considered fraud and theft, apparently. I didn't mean for this. The guy tricked me hard. I literally don't know what else to do but beg here. I'm terrified, I need help, I'll do anything. Absolutely anything to save myself from this. I feel like an idiot. Please help me.
I have evidence for everything and I plan to look into a lawyer or so but honestly I know that since I ended up with the money, I have to pay it back. I don't want to end up in a legal hole, I'm so fucking scared. Like I don't want to beg for help anymore but I need help to pay for this, it's a horrible double edged sword to ask for monetary help when I was just fucked over but please, you guys have helped me before, and now I'm stuck big time, and I'm doing everything I can to keep myself afloat and out of trouble. My PayPal is paypal.me/zwhack if you want to help me, my venmo is this link, I can pay you back when I'm able, I don't mind, I just need help with this now, I'm scared. I'm genuinely beyond scared shitless. I feel like I just fucked up my entire life, just trying to do the right thing and thinking someone could be so genuine and kind. I'm trying to put trust into you all here once more, because no one has steered me wrong here. I tried to use reddit like people told me and this is where it got me. I'm never asking for anything ever again after this, I don't care if I'm struggling or starving. This was too much, I'm in deep, and I'm scared half to death.
I don't want to suffer for my entire life just because I fell for something so stupid because I wanted to keep my family safe. I want to be able to enjoy my life, and this would destroy everything I've ever wanted to do. All because I was gullible and naive. I can't forgive myself. If I'm able, I was going to use all 1200ish of my tax return to fix part of it. Which means I can't go visit my homestate and see my sister for her 21st birthday. All because I fucked up. Which hurts the most. Ive been heartbroken over the thought, I havent seen my family in years and I had to go on the phone and tell them everything and tell them I cant see them this year even though I've been planning FOR a year and, fuck. All I can do is ask for help, please. Help me fix my mess, help me erase this issue and pretend I never did something so dumb, help me move on from it, please.
Gods Iām so sorry, really wish I could help with money butĀ i canāt afford to give more than 5 usd, I live in a third world country so Iāve no money and dollars are incredibly expensive, I hope they help, and i wish you the best < : (
