I WILL NOT TELL YOU THE PERSONS NAME.
7 MONTHS AGO, WE WERE HIRED TO PACK UP, PUT ITEMS INTO A STORAGE UNIT AND DO AN ESTATE SALE. I CLAUDIO, MEET THIS LADY THAT JUST SOLD HER HOME FOR WELL OVER A MILLION DOLLARS. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS GOING TO TRAVEL UP AND DOWN THE COAST WITH HER BOYFRIEND AND MOVE TO THE MIDDLE EAST. IMMEDIATELY, RED FLAGS WENT UP AND I TOLD HER TO MAKE SURE NOT TO GIVE HIM ANY MONEY. I CALLED THE POLICE BUT THEY NEEDED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSON BUT I DIDN’T HAVE IT. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THERE IS A BIG ROMANCE SCAM GOING ON FOR YEARS AND I HAD SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE TAKEN FOR THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. SHE SAID THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE AND NOT TO WORRY. THE NEXT DAY, I TOLD HER AGAIN NOT TO SEND ANY MONEY AND TO PUT ALL YOUR MONEY INTO A TRUST TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SHE ALSO STATED THAT HER BOYFRIEND COULD NOT MAKE TO CALIFORNIA WHICH SIGNALED ANOTHER RED FLAG. SHE SAID SHE WOULD DO THAT AND IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. I WAS STRESSED FOR TWO DAYS ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE LADY WAS GOING OUT TO GET BOXES AND WHEN SHE RETURNED I ASKED YHER NOT TO SEND ANY MONEY TO THIS MAN. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I HEARD HER SAY SHE WAS SENDING HIM SOME MONEY AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST IT AND TOLD HER NOT TO DO IT. SHE WALKED AWAY FROM ME AND THEN I LOST MY TEMPER AND TOLD HER I WILL NOT WORK FOR HER AND I WILL QUIT IF SHE SENT HIM THE MONEY. I USED A LOT OF FOUL LANGUAGE AND SHE TOLD MY TO ……….. SO I TOLD HER I QUIT WITH MORE FOUL LANGUAGE. I WAS VERY UPSET ALL NIGHT AND DIDN’T SLEEP WELL SO I CALLED HER TO APOLOGIZED AND ASKED IF I COULD COME OVER. I CAME OVER AND WE GAVE EACH OTHER A HUG AND I TOLD I WAS SORRY BUT I DIDN’T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT HER SITUATION. HER RESPONSE WAS THAT I MADE HER RELATIONSHIP MUCH STRONGER WITH MY BEHAVIOR. I CALLED HER A WEEK AGO AND SHE SAID SHE WAS HOMELESS AND WAS LIVING IN A HOTEL AND SHE LOST HER CAR. SHE IS COMPLETELY BROKE. PLEASE PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY MONEY TO ANYBODY ON THE TELEPHONE. THIS SCAM IS A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY NOT MILLIONS- BILLIONS. CALL THE POLICE AND REPORT ANY FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS CORRESPONDING ON THE INTERNET THAT YOU FEEL IS NOT LEGITIMATE. I HOPE THIS POST WILL SAVE SOMEONE FROM LOSING THEIR LIFE SAVINGS.
