I Just Got Scammed And I Feel Stupid And Ashamed

I just got scammed and I feel stupid and ashamed?

As long as you had an agreement with him (you translate and he pays you however much money) then you have legal standing to sue. You have proof that what you sent was accurate! Keep all of the conversations you have with him (texts, emails, etc...) and you can even get a statement from the professional who looked over your work. Make sure you have credible contact information for this guy. Remind him that he has the opportunity to send the work back to you if there is a problem and you will redo it, if he opts for no then kindly let him know that you will take legal action if you do not receive payment. By the way, the only person who should be ashamed is him! Not you! People play silly games like this with only their selfish gain in mind. People like that are out to trick people so don't beat yourself up. You can take legal action against him and get justice and make him pay up! I understand that you weren't able to trust anyone but DO NOT let this one persons selfish and deceitful actions determine how you are, otherwise he has won. Not everyone is like that, you do have to be careful with unknown people but know that there are people who are out for bad. If I were you I would seek legal action, keep up the job search, and keep my head up. Trying and difficult times will come but you can't let them destroy you! Always, always, always remember there is someone who is in a worse situation than you so don't forget to be grateful as well, even in this type of situation. Hope this helps! Keep your head up!

Did I get scammed because I'm stupid?

Recently, I needed to call Facebook so I looked up their number on the internet. I found a link that gave Facebook's phone number so I called it. Through Teamviewer.com, the woman I was talking on the phone with tapped into my computer. She told me that my Facebook wasn't secure at all and scanned my whole computer and told me that she found at over 5,000 files that were not working properly. I saw it on my comp screen and it did say this. She told me that she can fix my computer but it will cost $129.99. Out of panic, I allowed her to do it and I payed her my money through Paypal. When I told my sister this, she told me that it sounds very sketchy and I soon realized that I got scammed. My sister did some research and read that scammers target the young and the vulnerable. I'm 19 years old so I should have known better. It's not even like I don't know what scamming is. I feel so stupid for trusting the woman I was talking to because only those who don't have much knowledge about computers or being scammed and stuff will fall for it. I read that this old woman who is not into new technology got scammed in a similar manner as me, but I def use the computer a lot. I feel so ashamed and stupid for this. This guy I kind of liked told me that I seem smart but if he found out how I fell for this scam, he will think that I'm very stupid. I feel so ashamed of myself. I have a huge fear that people will use my identity or take my information and my computer has had viruses before so I was thinking that the viruses weren't removed from my computer and that my information can be leaked to third parties so maybe out of panic I trusted the woman? But even still, shouldn't I have known? Please, I need HONEST answers. Did I fall for this scam because I'm naive and stupid? If somebody told you that he/she has been scammed in the same way as I've been scammed, would you think that he/she is stupid?

I scammed someone, and now I feel bad. However...?

So I scammed someone and got his email. I posed as an important person requesting his information, and he did give me them. I felt an instant guilt, I felt that I did something really really bad and felt ashamed. However quickly after the incident and before changing the password back, I got an email from what it seems to be his other email, threatening me and saying that you will regret this moment for your life and he is going to track me. I told him that I'm going to return it, however he have never replied after few days and till now. I don't know what to do, I'm confused. I'm aware that what I did was really bad and it was very stupid, but now I'm living in fear because he threatened me

Help! I'm so ashamed. My belly button has popped out from overeating! How do I get back in without surgery?

I don't know that surgery is needed for your belly button.

You state that you are eating to "cope with the emotional rigors of daily living". Maybe you should consider talking to your doctor and having him/her recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist. You may be going though serious stress or depression. You may have an eating disorder.

I am trying to be kind about this because it is serious. I eat a lot and have trouble sometimes with binging. I crave food so bad it drives me nuts...I am over weight. I am trying to manage my weight and I know it is hard. I am trying to loose my weight at Weight Watchers..Its a good program, you might want to consider something like that, but see a doctor first because 400 pounds, is really unhealthy. You might have other health issues than your belly button.

True diet and exercise is nice, but I think you may need extra assistance by medical professionals to loose that kind of weight. Even speaking with a dietitian might be beneficial.

Be careful of would-be experts on the Internet. Even well meaning people might guide you wrong.
