Description

I was befriended on chat google about a year ago. We talked for about that time and became close friends. I was lonely and they knew that and played on that, I'm 67 and live alone. They made it sound really good to move on to be roommates. And we talked about were that might be and i told him where i want to move to. Then about 4 months ago he said that he needs a few hundred dollars and i gave it to him and i did get it back. Then he said he wanted to come home for Thanksgiving and needed money and he didn't have it and i didn't either then he tried for Christmas. In the meantime, I gave him to much information and he used it against me and toon all my ssa money for the month of dec. That left me with no money for the month for bills and food. He also got me to transfer money out of Pay Pal that he deposited in the account. At the time it was always in there to trans out. I even called Pay Pal about it and they let me do it. Now they are billing me for it, I am getting a $13000,00 bill from them and 2 calls a day to start paying on it. I just bring in enough to pay my own bills and for food and that is all. Allan scammed me to trust him and I did and now i am sick about it cause i can't pay it.
