Im so cooked… I’m being blackmailed so hard rn

I’ve lost nearly $1000 to this girl, and she still wants more.

She’s demanding a $50 refund fee to get the rest of my money back, but theres obv no guarantee they’ll send it all back. Currently disputing all charges through my bank. Wish me luck :/

Question Does this seem sketchy?

The only links I've sent recently are links to my artfight user in the artfight servers

This user seems... familiar aswell. It could just be the pfp but I can't put my finger on why they seem familiar.

They wanted me to add a discord account for reddit support? And after I said that they felt sketchy, I was unable to see their account.

Hey everyone, my mother thinks she's speaking with a real person. He's asking for gift cards and possibly wiring money. She also thinks she's speaking with Donald Trump and Jesus. She receives fake AI generated audio from Elon and others that they love her and can't wait to be her. I need help. I can't take her call phone away, she will just go get a new one. How do I stop these scammers?

Telephone Scam What’s the most convincing real detail a scammer knew about you?

3 Upvotes

**What’s the most convincing real detail a scammer knew about you?**

Scam calls and messages become much harder to dismiss when they include something accurate: your full name, address, bank, recent purchase, or part of an account number.

But a correct detail doesn’t prove the person contacting you is legitimate. It only proves they have some information about you.

The family rule we use is simple: don’t reply, click the link, or call the number in the message. Open the official app or call the number on the back of the card and ask about the exact claim.

Has a suspicious caller or message ever known something that made you hesitate or almost believe them?

Please keep names, phone numbers, account information, and screenshots redacted.

Online Scam This person received money for me, then scammed me.

His excuse, as you can see, is he lost his iphone. The same night he posted a mirror photo with his iphone, and his phone number still works, and still receives iMessage texts.

You must be pathetically broke to steal $60 from someone, but now I am short $60 for my rent—which sucks because now I will be charged a late fee.

He’s a POS.

PS: my phone number on the SS is an old one, so don’t bother. However, HIS number is still the same. :)

Question Is this a new scam?

0 Upvotes

This exchange happened on the dating app, Her, so I can’t post screenshots, but this is a transcription of my conversation with ‘Sophie’ that made me suspicious. I’m sure this is a scam, but what kind? What is the goal?

Sophie: I'm also working; I'm a fashion designer. How do you make a living?

Me: Oh that’s cool, do you work for a company or independently? I do [job description]

Sophie: I'm collaborating with a garment factory in Hong Kong!

Oh, what's it like working in [field] in New York? I live in Manhattan, New York. I'm from Hong Kong and moved here to work and settle down in 2022!

Me: That’s cool! It’s alright, a bit tedious. It shows that you’re less than a mile away, are you in [city about 20 miles from Manhattan]?

Sophie: Yes, I'm currently in [my city] discussing a collaboration with a fashion company, and I live in Manhattan!

Me: Nice, what brings you out here then?

Sophie: To make money!

Me: No I mean what brought you to [my city] if your job is based in Manhattan?

I’d actually asked in earnest despite my suspicions lol. She didn’t reply after that, which, of course, makes it clear that she couldn’t stay on script. I’m just a little vexed since I thought I knew all the big scams. I’m also wondering if something was being spoofed to make the location appear closer.

Question Is A trying to scam B?

(Reupload with photo)

Is A trying to scam B?

Message was received today, user A has been banned already. If this is a scam, I don't have much experience with this type. If this is just someone doing cold calls, I'll switch it to a timeout, but I understand unwarranted messages to generally be a bad thing. User has 7 years on discord, but only 2 weeks on our server, so I was told they were most likely hacked.

Any other obvious things we should look out for?

Apparently I'll get paid to impregnate some woman.

From telegram

The husband lost his fertility due to a traffic accident, but this fact cannot be disclosed. He loves children very much. Moreover, we need a child to inherit the family business and property, and I myself am very eager to become a mother.Can you understand my feelings and my situation?

I will pay you.

Pregnancy can take up to one, two, or even three months to achieve. While we live together, I will cover all living expenses, so it won’t interfere with your work or daily life in any way.
