So i got scammed on Dating site
#22209772 - 09/08/15 10:16 PM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

Few Weeks ago i was on a Dating site, i got a message from said person, When i asked how they were. Well here is there message.
"I'm on the verge of being homeless bc I was unemployed for 2 months, so I'm behind. & I just started working again, but I don't get paid til Friday. & Today is the last day to pay it, but I'm a little short.. My roommate won't work with me at all, I even offered to pay her double on Friday. It just sucks. The worst part is I'm alone in this. There's literally not one person on this planet that I can count on right now."
Me Feeling bad for them i asked how much they were behide and they said $100..i once being homeless myself told them id help them out but they must pay me back cause im unemployed myself and i have nothing to eat once i give them this money. They said "YES OF COURSE ILL Pay you on WEDS & TAKE YOU OUT TO DINNER" So i gave them the money when they came to my house to pick it up.
Weds comes nothing i try and contact them after a long weekend and part of a week of not eating anything which i could handle cause i gone without food for a long time before And they ignore me...I feel so Stupid at this point and the hunger on top of being scammed hurt the situation even worse...
So me being the computer savy person i am made two fake accounts on the dating site, one a week after this happen to give it some time, they said the SAME EXACT SHIT, But i played like yea ill give you the money but Give me Your name Address and send me a picture of your ID just in case you dont say who you are & They did, They even sent me a video of them self. They i didnt reply.
Another Week later i made another account and did the same thing, Hey how are you, They replied all the same BULLSHIT! "I need help im getting kicked out im $100 Short etc etc" Now i have Emails & Text of them Doing this. What Legal Means can i take against this person?
I feel sick that someone out there would do that to someone, i helped them out of the kindness of my heart and went hungry for an entire week just to help another human...just to find out they were scamming me & there trying to do it to other people. its sicking...

You can file a complaint with the FBI.
Not much you can do unless you can attempt to track their ip but I doubt they aren't using some type of mask.

It won't do anything and who cares he is still down a hundred bucks. Best is just to take precautions to not fall for that shit.
The scam seemed super obvious btw.

I just looked it up. There's a judicial crime called False Pretenses that fits the situation more or less. However the language used points more towards a house or car (the word title is used).
There's a civil offense on the books also, which is fraudulent misrepresentation.
I don't know if money is covered in these though.
They basically say it's against the law to lie or defraud someone by making statements you know to be false, in order to gain from them.

You can file a report and nothing will probably happen and these thugs will continue to steal from people. Cut your losses and move on IMO.

Like i said i have ALL there info I.D Card, a Google Picture of where they live, Where They Suposibly Work. And All the Messages they sent on 3 Different accounts with the Same BS Story. It was only them that showed up. They must do this on a pretty regular Basis cause they piched me the same story on 3 Accounts.
I Feel Stupid for wanting to help someone & Giving them the last of my food money to help them out.
I want my Money Back & Them to learn a Lesson. Ive never fallen for a scam but i had a moment of weakness cause i stated before ive been homeless i know what its like and would never want to see anyone go threw that. i did it in good faith they pay me back. just to find out i was being scammed.

It's really not worth the headache. Nothing is really going to come of it. Despite Niffla's optimistic hope that you would be making life difficult for them by reporting it, chances are you won't. Money's gone. Go ahead and try if you really want to, no one is going to blame you.
But you might as well accept now that nothing will happen and you won't see that money ever again.

Thing is though, in my opinion it's not even about the money at this point. It's just the fact that this person is going to continue to do this, and has probably been doing this for quite some time. Now yeah, this is a learning situation for OP (as far as doing this type of shit, like loaning money to complete strangers whom of which was met on the internet). OP made a mistake that could've/should've been avoided. No question.
But OP apparently has some details on who this person is, and this person is stealing from people. Probably scamming some poor bastard right now as we speak. Just letting it go seems wrong to me.

What did they look like? Was it a chick or a dude?
What a shitty thing to do...but definitely sounds like a scam.
I'd consult with enlil maybe about it but I doubt there's anything you can do. As someone pointed at above I don't think that you can get them in trouble for lying...you did give them the money...
I have no idea.

I don't really think it's all about the money either, but I really doubt the cops are going to do anything about it. I find it even harder to believe that higher up law organizations would even get involved. Would probably need dozens of people filing reports before they'd so much as ask their supervisor if they should check it out or some shit.
May be wrong or whatever, but if it were me (and I somehow found myself in this situation which I never would) I'd just chalk it up to lesson learned and move on.

I read this thread. I'm very annoyed with you OP. Why wont you tell us, are you a women seeking a man, or a man seeking a man.
It's a confusing bid here. If your a dude why would you hand them the cash, unless your sexual preferences lean towards that. Did they show aggression? Where you afraid because they know where you live?
Set up another date at a friends house threw a fake account, or a vacant home. Be hiding and have your friend out side. Jump out with your video camera and scare the shit out of them calling them out on their shit!
Post video on youtube and shroomery and get mad props!
You might want to have a gun on you. lol
Reason for edit: yea have a gun!

Why don't you sue them? They made a verbal contract that they would pay you back, and they didn't. Not to mention fraud..
You could probably sue the shit outta them. It sucks man that they stole from you, but don't feel terrible about you falling for it.
You seem like a good guy, hell, I bet if you made a gofundme account people would donate for you to have that 100 dollars back. But if you wanna teach that person a lesson, I'd say call the cops. or call a lawyer.

You can't sue the shit out of them (that implies suing them for very large amounts) and getting a lawyer involved would be kind of absurd.. It's 100 bucks. A lawyer probably won't even give you a half used kleenex for 100 bucks.
Unless these people can be tied to a scam ring of some sort where they've scammed thousands of dollars, this is just petty theft at best. It's a fine, and maybe some community service if the judge feels like being an asshole. That's the judicial side, you can then sue them in small claims (civil) but you're not going to be getting thousands of dollars out of them. If the court house isn't just down the street from you or something and you get paid more than minimum wage, you're going to probably spend as much in gas and lost wages to take it to court, as you stand to get back, if you even win, and if they even pay up.

Yeah slip the more I think about it, you're probably right. There's some grey area involved, and not to mention the amount of money in question isn't going to exactly move their proverbial needle much.

Public embarrassment is the way to go! I'm telling ya! Record the people responding on the dating site to multiple fake accounts. Record them showing up some where and call them out. Make sure you can get clear video of the person(s) face!
Take a screen shot from the video, go to a printing zone (in my town we have a few places that will make signs for cheap) or use the internet to have some made.
Put their photo on the sign, with words like "DON'T GET SCAMMED" "KNOWN SHAMMER!", add the dating website the scammer is on/ the URL. If you cant have signs made for cheap, print that shit on regular paper and put it all over town just like the "lost dog signs".

I mean this is okay and all but I still think the Louisville Slugger route would be the more effective of the two.

If OP was of the mind to be able to rob them back or uppercut them, I think he would've already did it, instead of thinking about calling the cops.

It would be but you don't wanna hurt no one because of legal problems. I'm sure some one could try to sue you for putting their picture every where but fuck em they can't prove it was you. I suppose you could mug em to and get away with it!
If one was concerned tho just wear a hoodie with some sun glasses. Maybe even a wig. I have two wigs for hiding my identity if I need to for weird shit like this. I know it sounds crazy but they are cheap on ebay.. like $3 free shipping and handling!
Something else OP could do that would cause major problems is claim to the scammer threw a fake account "Oh your broke? I feel so bad I help people all the time threw charity at my local church. I'm currently staying with a friend so I can't have you over here, please let me come to you. Ill even bring free gift cards to redlobster I got from my church."
Convince them to give a address and phone number. Now what you do from here is get their photo. Maybe they are using a real one from the dating website. Just get it if you can get the address it should be possible.
Take their photo and information and post it on the deepweb on sites like the PinkMeth. Put the phone number, address and photo's. You can even explain why you are adding them to the list, people will be persuaded to take action.
You can edit the face into other images to make them nude

Maybe. He should probably stay away from fast food places if he unleashes that dragon.. Bad shit has been known to happen to people who constantly get shit on and walk into fast food places with an attitude.

Why wouldn't he be giving us a photo, or at least some description? That seems fishy to me. If someone ripped me off on the internet and I had their info I think I would at least report all relevant info so other people can find out about the scammarr.

I dunno, I haven't read the entire thread, but something tells me it wasn't even a chick that picked up the money.. "I got ripped off by a dude pretending to be a chick online" is a hell of a lot more embarrassing than "I got ripped off by a chick online".
My first clue that something was up, was when he asked how they were and they start giving an entire sob story. That right there would've had me like

Sorry for the Delay on Reply phone died.
Like i said i have ALL There Info ID Card, Address Picture of there Face. Id like to wait & take Legal Actions against them.
The Reason i dont do anything like Smash there face in is because i dont want to get in trouble with the Law nor cause harm to someone( Even Tho They Deserve it)
The Reason i dont post there info on the Shroomery is because i have so many Threads of me growing stuff and stuff and dont need my Shroomery Linked to me in case anything happens.
Im going to take them to Small Claims court & Present my Evidence. Hopefully the Judge Helps, If not Then ill Put all there Info online. EVERYWHERE....Even make a Video & post it on youtube.

I have to agree. OP gave someone money because they had a sob story. Prove they weren't behind 100 dollars for rent. If she said she had cancer and lied you would have something, I don't see how he can prove this isn't true though.

Report them to the police, spread their info, sue them. Fuck those assholes they deserve it all.
Praying on the good nature of others is the worst, I have had it happen before myself and it feels terrible especially if you cant do anything about it.
For instance once I had a homeless guy walk up and ask for some money, so I open my wallet to give him some since I had decent amount on me (I was pretty young) anyways dude just reaches out real quick and grabs like 20-50$ I forget how much and runs off. I just stood there watching him run off. I assume he needed that money more than me and hope he didn't just go spend it on drugs and if he did I hoped maybe he would at least think of what an asshole he was for doing something like that 
Someone like in your case though who is clearly continuously trying to scam people deserves to go to jail IMO, and or get a big fine. Or be sued by you.

You know he went straight to the liquor store with it. Probably didn't even give a shit.
I don't give money to anyone. Mostly because I worked retail and became intimately familiar with almost every single begger that is in our city. They all just want money to buy cigs or booze.
I thought it was all of them but I guess there's a new one now. Some 20-something kid walked up to me the other day while in grocery store, obviously high as hell and was holding a bell pepper and asked if I could spare a dollar so he could eat. Was kinda random. Maybe whatever he was on just had him really craving a bell pepper..

Whenever someone asks me for money to eat, I usually will offer to get them something that costs a dollar or whatever from either a gas station or a fast food place..
There's not many beggars in my city. In the past 2-3 years, I have only ever seen one. All the other homeless usually pick up cans or something. I've bought food for 3 of them around town, and they all seemed really grateful.

I don't think we really have much of a homeless population, if we do, they hide themselves well.
Every single person who asks for money in this city literally does it every single day. They will sit outside of one store til they get run off by management, then go to the next. Their story never changes either. There are quite a few of them. I've had to run them off numerous times and they still ask me for money at other stores. I mostly just ignore them at this point (Used to just be like I don't have it) if I'm feeling particularly dickish I'll make eye contact and then ignore them.
If I really wanted to be a prick I'd tell them I was the manager at xxxx and have had to run them off numerous times and I've seen what they do with the money they beg for.
Oh and lol one person tried that while I was working, I saw it all go down while on my cigarette break. The begger got all pissed off and started cussing the lady out. Some shit like "You don't trust me? Just give me the money I'm not ready to eat right now" or something. The balls some of these people have is amazing at times.

The homeless here are really nice, a lot of them look like backpackers, or hitch hikers. Dress is mostly not torn clothes, and just have a backpack. A little dirty, but not like they don't care. The majority of them hang out around a 7 eleven under the shade of a tree during the day and start moving at night.
The majority of them have carts or bags full of cans and food and whatnot. If you go to the bigger city right next to me, there are beggers EVERYWHERE. All down the streets. Some of them are legitimately homeless, others are just trying to bum money.
But there's this homeless "shelter" that gives out canned food to the homeless. They do it like 2 times a week. There will be 30-50 people lined up for food. I always try to donate some canned to them. The homeless around here and genuinely nice

Since OP does not want to admit it, I am honestly really certain that a guy with a penis picked up the money in a shady way and OP was so naiive about it he still gave over the money and doesn't want to admit it. He certainly would have mentioned if a pretty young lady with a soft voice picked up the cash.
It could have been some Nigerian dude that picked up the cash.

Seriously..if someone is going through hard financial times why would they just be casually chatting on a dating site instead of getting off their ass and getting a job or something.

plus if the OP had any brains he wouldn't have given her the money just so she WOULD get kicked out of her apartment, and then she would come live with HIM

OP should listen to this episode of This American Life about these guys who scammed a Nigerian scammer. Got the scammer to run around a wartorn foreign country for weeks trying to get the money they said they were going to bring him.
http://tal.fm/363/1
It's full of shit like getting the Nigerian scammer to meet them an airport in near the Durfur border in Chad (a Muslim country) holding a sign that says:
LOOKING FOR THE TWAT MUHAMMAD
When they decided it was time to end the con on the Nigerian before he got killed, they told him his mother had died and he needed to get back to Nigeria.

What is wrong with Nigeria is that it is filled with human being who are borns into poverty, and in Nigeria or the surrounding area there seems like at some point there must have been some individual or group of innovators who took the models already being used by western spammers and used the same tools to commit fraud, since they really have nothing to lose. It's an interesting question though, what factors caused them to be infamous in this way.
I think the problem lies with those that fall for scams operated by people with little to no formal education, and most of the time just copy/paste form letters. I can't really blame the scammers as much as those who apparently have access to significant resources but are much less innovative and clever. I understand getting mad, but in terms of Nigerians who are co-opted into criminal gangs I feel like they are likely to be victims themselves.
Scam-baiting is pretty funny, but resenting Nigerians or stereotyping them like that is wrong. The lack of cultural understanding between America and the rest of the world is to blame as much as the scammers themselves.

didn't I hear the reason was that they were fishers and America kept spilling oil killing all their fish, so then they turned into pirates and scammers out of revenge?
it prolly started out as prank calls like yo I think you forgot your oil over here

Yeah, I wouldn't take this to that twat Judge Judy. She's the biggest bitch on TV & would rip the OP apart about doing that. Fuck her!!
However, I would call or visit your local District Attorney & see what he thinks about the situation. Personally, I like the idea of setting that broad up by getting 1 of your good buddies to act like he's willing to dish out some dough-re-mi to the chick. Have her meet him at some specified location & you be hiding somewhere close filming the entire transaction. Of course, have your pal hand over an envelope with some Monopoly money or just some pieces-of-paper in it. You jump out of your pre-arranged hiding place & let the snatch know you're taking that to the D.A. for prosecution purposes. Then watch her face go numb with "Damn! He has me on tape!"
Or just write it off & get hammered tonight. Lesson learned.

We can all hate and criticize OP but the fact of the matter is he never gave us/ filled in the fucking details! He's not going to. We made such a big deal out of it he must be situationally obligated not to because embarrassment. Women seeking a man? Man seeking a man? We will never know!

I'm sure most places don't do this but cops in area would probably do at least some investigating especially if the scammed are targeting multiple people. Hell the cops came to my house once yo arrest my girlfriend after she missed her court date for a freaking tailgating ticket. She tried to just plead guilty and pay it like you used to be able too with any traffic violation, but now they force you to go to court to pay the damn court costs also. It's a friggin racket. She has never been in trouble with the law before and only missed it because me and her had a stomach virus.
I see on my local news warnings of different scams going around. Most of them the scammers target older people, dum dums, and really sweet generous trusting people who have faith in humanity only to have their sound crushed by dishonest scumcocks.

Unless the poon is all stank. That happened to me before. It really turned me off but what the hell can you do, just put all my clothes back on and skidaddle? Nah I had to be a trooper and pound for awhile til she got a slight orgasm. I felt pretty ashamed for awhile after that ordeal. Now I always smell women's seats when they leave the room.

I don't know if this has been posted because I didn't read everything before this but I would make an account, when they ask for money I'd say yea and give them a place to meet up that isn't your place, when they show up I'd pull a gun and demand my money back. If they went to the police I'd deny it and say they robbed you. I would meet in a place where a camera somewhere wouldn't catch you pull your gun, possibly in a car or something.
I don't care a bit about losing the 100$ but I hate scamming pieces of shit and I'd love to finally get a chance to meet with them in person.
I know everyone is going to start flaming me for saying this, the thing is I don't give a fuck, if you don't like my way then don't fuckin do it. It's just what I would do.

What you should do is read through threads before posting.
Pretty sure the OP already has made other accounts to get evidence of them scamming.

I already read where he got "evidence". I already seen where he made more accounts. I said he should make another account and meet up with them. Maybe you just need to re-read my post because your reply to me didn't tell me anything new or different from what I posted. I didn't tell him to get more useless evidence did I?
musiclover, this shows just how stupid you are. he gave them money, no laws were broken. He could take them to civil court and say they had a verbal contract to pay him back. The scammer and the OP both know that he's not going to do that, he would lose money on that deal with just the lawyer

You don't need a lawyer for that. Personally I'd take them to civil court print out all the evidence of the conversations they had. Print out the evidence when he made other accounts and he/she tried the same scam. Sue for court costs and whatever other money you were out. First I would file a police report that only makes the case stonger. Nothing may come of it or it could all work out in his favor, people win cases like this all the time. The only difficult part would be finding her actual name and when he wins getting her to pay up. You only need to tip the scale slightly in your favor in civil court. I would almost guarantee if I did that in my town I would win that case. Or at the very least put some heat on this person.

No need to be insulting, your post just did not really reflect that you had bothered reading through this thread at all.
I have chatted with you it other threads and I know your a whimp. You think banging chicks is terrible so I'm sure pulling a gun is to you is the worse thing ever.
Maybe you should think about what you read in the OP's first post. He isn't even eating he's so broke. Do you think he can afford a lawyer to sue the guy with? Let's say he doesn't get a lawyer and sues them anyway is small claims court, still has to pay to get the guy served papers correct? It's like 35$ a try to have a cop attempt to serve someone here atleast.
I know pulling a gun would be stupid, but I get pist when people scam they know how to do it to where they don't brake laws. So I'd love for a piece of shit thief/scammer to get in my car see me and know that the tables have been turned. I know my way wouldn't be for everyone but I make it a point to settle up if someone fucks me.
I got a good example of how far I take shit. Bought a memory card off ebay and it got here and looked legit. I left positive feedback then after testing it found out it was fake. I filed a complaint with ebay and the seller said they were going to refund me if I sent it back so I did. the seller admitted in ebay resolution that they received my returned item. the seller kept saying he was going to refund me tomorrow. finally the seller deleted their account so I was like ebay aren't you going to give me my money. ebay said nope you didn't get tracking on the package. tracking on the package to another country was like 20$ at the time that I wasn't about to pay out of my pocket, besides the seller already said he received it. ebay pretty much told me to fuck off and they weren't paying me. I told them in my last message to them that I was giving them one more chance to make it right. they declined. the next day I listed a phone for 300$. Once it sold and I got the money(i have a good seller account so I get the money immediately). Once I pulled the money out I opened a complaint with the buyer against myself. I said I'm not sending the buyer the phone and I told the buyer sorry. I said see ebay, all you had to do was give me my 60$ back but you didn’t, I told you I'd get you back. I opened the complaint because ebay would be forced to give her money back ASAP because it was obvious I wasn't refunding or sending the phone. I felt bad that the lady went without her money for a few days but I got ebay back. Ebay for months sent me letters asking for the 300$ back. Each time I said send me my fucking 60$ back and I'll send you the 300$ I said if they didn't send me my money then they needed to fuck off and quit sending me emails. about a year later ebay called and said we'll bring the 300$ down to 240$ if you pay us. I said no fucking deal bro, I want a 60$ check from you then I'll send you the 300$.
Most if not all of you will say I took it to far or that I'm an asshole for doing it. your probably right. But I would have lost sleep if I let them fuck me. don't tell me you have buyer protection then let the buyer get fucked.
when someone fucks me it just gets under my skin and I'd rather deal with the consequences of my actions rather than feeling like someone disrespected me.

yea maybe a gun is too much. I think instead if it were a man I'd just stomp his ass out or if it was a girl I'd have my girl knock her teeth out. That would be good enough for me.

I wouldn't say I am a wimp but I am against violence for the most part.
Especially ins situations like this, it might feel good to get them back like that but is 100$ worth risking lives over?
A lot of people take shit seriously an having a gun pulled on you is pretty damn serious, could quickly escalate the situation and make thing much worse.
Like I said there are alternatives to suing, he can get revenge many other ways if he doesn't have the money or time to try and sue them.
Also where did Quote:
You think banging chicks is terrible
come from I bet that is a vast oversimplification of something I said.
I am too baked to reply in much detail, I would say in that situation ebay deserved what they got. Thought 300$ for 60$ is a big jump, they can take it tho

Op is doing a disfavor to any other shlubs these people scam by not going to the police or not suing them. File a police report. You never know there could be half a dozen others who have also went to the cops. If enough people go there going to start investigating. Hell in my area I bet one claim would get the cops looking into. I live in a pretty low crime clean cut area though and cops take everything pretty serious. The cops even seem split on whether to ticket people who were caught with marijuana. And if they do its pretty much like a traffic ticket. They crack down hard on opiates though since we have seen a flood of opiates throughout my area in the last 10 years. Used to be pills now heroin is everywhere.
Go to the cops op. Sue them. Stomp them out. Do something or they will keep scamming. I don't recommend violence though that will only lead to you going to jail or getting hurt. If you rob them or beat them up your probably going to jail. So do something appropriate.

The scammer and the OP both know that he's not going to do that
They hope he wont, they rely on their victims not doing anything. That is part of what allows them to get away with it over and over again.
There are plenty of other options too, pulling a gun on them seems the stupidest out of them all to me 
No need to be insulting, your post just did not really reflect that you had bothered reading through this thread at all.
I have chatted with you it other threads and I know your a whimp. You think banging chicks is terrible so I'm sure pulling a gun is to you is the worse thing ever.
Maybe you should think about what you read in the OP's first post. He isn't even eating he's so broke. Do you think he can afford a lawyer to sue the guy with? Let's say he doesn't get a lawyer and sues them anyway is small claims court, still has to pay to get the guy served papers correct? It's like 35$ a try to have a cop attempt to serve someone here atleast.
I know pulling a gun would be stupid, but I get pist when people scam they know how to do it to where they don't brake laws. So I'd love for a piece of shit thief/scammer to get in my car see me and know that the tables have been turned. I know my way wouldn't be for everyone but I make it a point to settle up if someone fucks me.
I got a good example of how far I take shit. Bought a memory card off ebay and it got here and looked legit. I left positive feedback then after testing it found out it was fake. I filed a complaint with ebay and the seller said they were going to refund me if I sent it back so I did. the seller admitted in ebay resolution that they received my returned item. the seller kept saying he was going to refund me tomorrow. finally the seller deleted their account so I was like ebay aren't you going to give me my money. ebay said nope you didn't get tracking on the package. tracking on the package to another country was like 20$ at the time that I wasn't about to pay out of my pocket, besides the seller already said he received it. ebay pretty much told me to fuck off and they weren't paying me. I told them in my last message to them that I was giving them one more chance to make it right. they declined. the next day I listed a phone for 300$. Once it sold and I got the money(i have a good seller account so I get the money immediately). Once I pulled the money out I opened a complaint with the buyer against myself. I said I'm not sending the buyer the phone and I told the buyer sorry. I said see ebay, all you had to do was give me my 60$ back but you didn’t, I told you I'd get you back. I opened the complaint because ebay would be forced to give her money back ASAP because it was obvious I wasn't refunding or sending the phone. I felt bad that the lady went without her money for a few days but I got ebay back. Ebay for months sent me letters asking for the 300$ back. Each time I said send me my fucking 60$ back and I'll send you the 300$ I said if they didn't send me my money then they needed to fuck off and quit sending me emails. about a year later ebay called and said we'll bring the 300$ down to 240$ if you pay us. I said no fucking deal bro, I want a 60$ check from you then I'll send you the 300$.
Most if not all of you will say I took it to far or that I'm an asshole for doing it. your probably right. But I would have lost sleep if I let them fuck me. don't tell me you have buyer protection then let the buyer get fucked.

You didn't even get your money back and fucked over someone else out of getting something they paid for

Believe it or not some people have faith in their fellow humans and give people the benefit of the doubt.
A much better solution would be people be less greedy not less giving, in today's corrupt world of course that is not a reality though.
That is how people like OP end up learning these hard lessons

Let me break this down for you.
Ebay kept my 60$ that they were supposed to give me because of buyer protection.
I took some ladys 300$ on ebay and told both that I was keeping money for previous reasons
ebay gives woman 300$ back. I told ebay they'd pay if they didn't settle up with me.
So yea I got my money back.
re read if it still manages to confuse you.

Where does it say anywhere in this post that you received a check for $60? Can you not read your own post?

He basically fucked ebay into getting 300$ back for his 60$ since they fucked him over it. That is the logic here, idk what you are not getting 
I think you are just being difficult.

But as far as having faith on humanity goes, I'd lend a family member or close friend $100. When a person I've never met on a dating site responds to my how are you with, I need money, and then drives by my house and picks it up, that's just absurd

If I loan someone money I make sure I can live without it. I'd hate to go without and begin to hate someone, especially a friend, over money.
I try not to loan friends money. I understand if a father can't feed his children he'll do what ever it takes to get the money even with the intent of paying said person back. But once he can't pay that someone back a gab begins to build between the two. If you owe me 100$ I just say pay me when you can, if you can never pay me back that's fine to. If I don't get paid back I'd never loan money to that person again, but I don't want to lose a friend over it. That's why if I give you 100$ I make sure I can live without it.
My dad went through a rough patch where he borrowed money off me in 1000$ increments. He always said he'd pay me back and I always said don't worry about it. He never paid me back cause he couldn't, I understood that. I never gave him a nickel I couldn't live without.
Years later his life is back on track and everytime he's around me he pays for everything. That's his way of paying me back. If I call him right now and say I owe some guy 1000$ and he's coming over to get it he'd tell me he has the money in hand for my friend.
money will ruin friendships only if you let it. I'm pretty drunk so I'm not sure if some of this didn't have meaning or was just plain useless. fuck yea

it's called "prostitution" when it's done properly, that being that you receive something in exchange for the money. sterben desnt think that far ahead
