━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Does anyone have experience with this?
She got scammed online out of $11k and has contacted the site, of which they said they probably couldn’t get it back to her and to contact law enforcement. She went to the station and contacted a constable who seemed like he didn’t believe her and said to email her info.
This is her whole life savings she sent, and was intending it to be an investment. And she isn’t someone who is irresponsible by the way at all. She is super responsible and just had super bad luck.
Anyone know of any other steps that could be taken? I’m at a loss at trying to help her as I don’t have money either, and now she is going to be struggling. She is going to have to take on another job, even though she already works 7am to 6pm while we are still taking classes. Not to mention we are going to have to move once our lease is up because it’s getting expensive and the whole city is getting expensive.
I feel like we are slowly going downhill and there is no way to stop or slow ourselves down.

I kinda sorta doubt the cops will do anything unless you are related to someone in the police force. UPS stole something worth a lot of money, and the cops weren't going to lift a finger or even look into anything without some solid leads.
:( It stinks that there are people willing to take someone's entire savings like that. At least it's possible to rebuild although the time it takes to do so is pretty long
Just when bills and rent are about to happen.
I'm in a bit of a money crunch too, but I'll try to check in again after 2 weeks and see where things sit. (And try to help some ideally)
