PLEASE HELP ME- 75 YR. OLD GRANDMA WAS SCAMMED

Hi, I’m a 75 year old Grandmother

that was recently SCAMMED. Here is my story. 

PLEASE SHARE for me…

Back at the end of July, I got an email saying that I owed ROKU a certain amount of money for a year subscription. So, I called their number and told the guy that I needed a refund because ROKU does not charge anything. He said, 'You’ll have to fill out this refund sheet.' I filled out my name, my phone number, and what their refund was gonna be for me. After I did that, he says, 'Oh no, you made a mistake. You added an extra number. This is awful.' He said, 'You’re gonna have to pay us back the money.' I said, 'Well, how am I gonna do that?' He said, 'Well, go to a CVS or Walgreens, get three $500 gift cards, and then go home and give me the numbers off the back.'

Well, I did what he said because he threatened me with the FBI coming to my door. So, I went to the drugstore, got three cards, $500 each, and he was on the phone the whole time listening, telling me not to talk to anybody. There’s another red flag. What’s wrong with me? So stupid. I drove home, sat down, gave him the numbers on the back of the card, and he said, 'Now tear them up and show me a picture.' I told him no, I wasn’t gonna do that. He got all nasty with me and told me, 'OK fine, I’m going to lock your computer. You’ll never be able to get another computer.' The same thing happened. This whole ordeal took about 6 1/2 hours. I couldn’t believe it. I was devastated losing that money.

That’s all the money I had in this world. That may not be much to you, but it meant everything to me and was for my house taxes that were due in a month! I was so sick to my stomach and felt so ill. I didn’t wanna live anymore. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before. Please be careful of scammers. If this helps just one person, that means everything to me. DON’T GET SCAMMED!!!!

If you find it in your heart to donate, I will be so grateful and thankful for you. Thank you in advance for any help you give me.

If you have a curiosity about what I went through. There is a video channel on YouTube called 

“SCAMMER PAYBACK”, what they do is track scammers talk to them and take them down and you can watch it all happen. It’s so interesting. I watch this channel all the time. 

Don’t get scammed!!!

Many blessings to you all!
