Did you ever get your money back after being scammed?
Hello,
This is so embarrassing for me to admit (too ashamed to write about what happened in my journal lol), but I got scammed and paid over 4000 to adopt a cat that doesn't even exist.
I was looking for a cat on Dubizzle and got too attached to a Ragdoll kitten; I even gave her a name and prepared her litter room. I was informed that adoption fees are 500AED so I paid it, THEN they told me that there are delivery and ownership documents which will 600AED, then I had to get "pet insurance" that cost 1000, etc etc
See, 90% of me knew that it was a scam at that point, but I was still hoping that the kitten actually exists and will be mine. I kept transferring the amounts they requested and didn't realize the total reached 4K, which is nearly my entire salary lol.
I contacted my bank, and they'll try to request a recall,
And I will visit the police station tomorrow to report them.
I am too embarrassed to ask this question, as this was entirely my fault. I should have known better, especially since I am 26 Y.O and not a 60-year-old grandmother. Is there any way I can actually get my money back? I have already accepted my fate but getting it back would be very helpful.
Tbh my main concern now is the realization that I am no different than men who spend thousands on OnlyFans. that kitten was so cute to the point that my brain stopped functioning.
Please share your stories if you ever experienced a similar situation. And please don't bully me anymore bc my friends and siblings already accomplished that mission
