Hi,
I am reaching out because I have found myself trapped in what appears to be a long-running Facebook scam, and I urgently need some advice on how to deal with this situation.
For the past three years, I’ve been in contact with someone on Facebook who claimed to be in dire need of financial help. They convinced me that they had no food in their house, and out of compassion, I have been sending them gift cards every week to help them out.
But recently, the demands have escalated. Now, they are telling me that their phone is faulty and are asking me to send more money so they can buy a new one. I am starting to feel uneasy about this situation and suspect that I might be the victim of an imposter scam.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you handle it? I am looking for any guidance on what steps I should take next. Should I just stop sending money? How can I confirm if this is indeed a scam? And if it is, is there a way to report this person to prevent them from scamming others?
