Description
I was asked by her if it would help me if $5,000 in my cash app or deliver to my home, to help pay bills. She said that she gets the money from the world humanitarian assistance. I agree that she would send the money to my house. She said that it would be a shipping fee of $50 by a Apple gift card. Then she said the money will arrive at my house in 2 hours. It never did, why? Because now I had to pay a safety fee of $100. She said the only way I will get the money to come to my house is to pay the safety fee. I told her that I had $25, I will try to get the $75. so overall I paid her the $100 with Apple gift cards and she said the money will be shipped to my house today. Then she said something is wrong, there has been a delay in your process. She said because I was slow in pain the safety fee that I would now have to pay a delay fee of $50 and I will have my package in 2 hours. And I said that I will not pay you $50 and I'm beginning to feel as though this was a scam. So I told her I paid the safety fee the $100 the same day how could it be a delay, and all she said was that if I wanted the $5,000 delivered to my house I must pay the delay fee of $50, so I told her no and if she did not send the $5,000 the next day that I will report her. Well, the money didn't come on October 6th 2025. So it's quite obvious that she was not going to send me the money ,so I asked for a refund of the $150, and she said well I don't want you to lose your opportunity to get the money, so again I asked for refund of the $150 and I have yet to hear a response from her.
