tried helping out someone, ended up getting scammed - Herbert - Nov 9, 2014
Hello HF,
as some of you may know I've been a victim of scamming quite a lot the recent two years, today it happened quite unpredicted. so this girl on my instagram list became a seller for clothing a while ago everything seemed fine people looked satisfied with the clothing so I saw something I like and contacted her about it, she said the shirt costs $50 which was a insane price for a shirt she designed, but as the generous guy I am I wanted to help her and I did like the shirt so I sent the money to her bank account and she would set the delivery for the package ready and it should come in 3 days, so I also told her if she needed help with a website for her products she simply didn't answer so I waited 3 days and contacted her again, asking politely where my package is. and I got no response so I waited 24 hours and sent her another message I seen that she was quite active on instagram so now I warned her if I don't get an answer in 24 hours I'll take measures. So tomorrow if I don't get a response I'll go to the bank and clear things up show them proof of our conversation etc. Stupidly she forgot I know her name and I could figure out where she lives and teach her a lesson or two about stealing but I'm not that guy. so in a situation as I am, what would you do?

I would probably let it slide considering it's only $50. But if it was any higher, I would do the same thing as you would.

Wow that sucks man I would try sorting it out with the bank.

As Supreme said, 50$ isn't that much. If 50$ is worth that much though I suggest you clear it up with the bank and try and get your money back.

Hey man you are herbert..that's why people target you since your old and innocent:/..
Anyway I think you should teach her a lesson and get your $50 back, if you do you might be saving other people from getting scammed.

Maybe there is some problem or delay with delivery? You can wait for few more days else you can end up telling this case to Bank.

Don't do it John, you won't last in prison, especially on a rape charge.
Sorry you got scammed :P

Don't let it slide because she is a woman. You were thinking with the wrong head... Report the police/bank or whatever.

Nah dude money is money do what you gotta do. Don't let her get away with that.

Find out where she lives, get money back + double or more amount for the trouble you had to go through and maybe shutdown her scam site.
