Hi all
I have been scammed last tuesday 2nd July, the same story as very one, she added me or lets say he added me on FB, nice asian photos , claim he is in Canada but Filipino, after a chat on FB messenger she asked me to Skype and things as usual led to exposing my self as every other story... she cut the cam and said wait my room mate walked in, wait please, so after that she asked what type of music u like? I said classic then she sent me a link of a song on u tube, I opened it it was okay then she said how about this song, and there it was me ..... I was shocked, she asked me did u like it? I said this is not right please remove it, then sent me a number of my family friends in FB, and said do u like me to send all these friend a link of the video, I said please don't, I was so panicked , shocked, then she said I will remove it if u do something for me, I asked what, she or he( I suppose) said okay send money to help my sister she is in hospital and needs help, I said how much u need? she said u tell me, I said $500 , he said better make it 1000, I said I am in tight situation these days, he said please do it because I don't want to lose my sister, I am sorry of doing this but had no choice, I don't want to destroy ur career, just help me and I promise I will delete the whole thing, I said how I will know u will do that, he said i give my word on my family, and to show u that i mean it I will remove the video now from youtube, which he did, i said okay but i can only do it tomorrow morning as banks are closed now, he said go to ATM , I said I can't, please wit till tomorrow and give ur sister name so i will do it before 10 am our time, he said he will give the name as later his sister is in hospital, he will see who can collect it, and he said don't delete me from FB or Skype I will leave a message tomorrow to whom u should send the money and if u do anything I will put the video again and send the links to the list I showed u and will keep checking on my Skype and FB to see that u have not deleted me. I said don't worry and he said okay i have to go work now i will leave a message for u later, and he said he is so sorry for doing this. I noticed that he was still on line on Skype for long time, maybe fixing another victim.
I was so paniked, i almost had a heart attack, how stupid i was, it was so easy and obvious, how a man in my age can be fooled like this,, any way after i just clam down i googled for help and I was lucky to find your site, reading the stories and articles really made it easier little bit for me and took all the steps recommended by the site, blocked him , deactivated my FB, blocked him on Skype and later deleted him, also made alert on google just in case he post the video..
Today is the the fourth day , nothing, thanks God happened so far, I managed to block him from one of my brother as she invited him to be friend on FB and also he invited my two sons, who are 24 and 19, i managed without telling them what happened even my brother to block him, send messages to most of family who are with me in FB to be careful and not accepting any invitations from this FB account and even block him if he did.
I am much better now but still sometime bad thoughts comes to my mind and feel depressed, by the way I am divorced but still worry if this video is seen by anyone of my friends or community what he will think about me,, I hope this scammer will give up on me and the video is lost for ever.. as I have seen from some of the answers here that these people don't really save the videos for long time and they always give up in few days time..
But i keep telling my self this is a mistake and an experience you have to learn from, and try to be better person now, I started to be more closer to God now and keep praying on time. I will be from this a different but better person and take things in much better way..
I would like to thanks all the person behind this site, it really made a big difference, I was prepared to pay the $1000, but thanks God who really led me to see your site..
Special thanks to Wayne who helped me to open my account here and thanks for the live help I got yesterday..
Thank you all
