The Atlantic Monthly Group Reviews
I met a man on facebook who said that he lived in Chicago, IL.
In a few days he was going over to Australia for his shipping company. A few days after the ship left he informed that pirates had been attacking other ships near their location and that the ship had to stop in Turkey and had to package up all his important documents and other things.
He told them that I was his wife which was a lie. The company started sending me emails stating that I would need to send them $5,000.00 in order for them to ship the package to me. I told them that I did not have $5,000.00. I found out that the man from the ship told me that the package contained some documents, his ID and $750,000.00 in cash money.
I thought this was somewhat unbelieable to have that much cash to carry around. I sent $100.00, but I was also told that I would have to send to another person located in Florida and was only given this person's name and the state and no other information regarding this person.
This went on and on about sending more money.
I feel so stupid that I ending up sending $1,700.00. I am a poor, elderly single lady and have limited funds to live on each month. This has put me in so much debt. As of right now I cannot even pay this month's rent for my very small apartment and am in fear of being evicted and having no where to go.
I don't if anything can be done in regards to this situation that I got into, but I am hoping that by reporting this incident, that maybe it will help other people to be on guard and not to send money to people or companies you do not know.
