Single Mum Rebuilding – Now Left with Nothing by Online Scam

I’m a single, unemployed mum who was recently scammed out of over £10,000, money from the last of my savings. That money was meant to support my child, pay for our housing, and help us get by while I searched for work after being unemployed for over a year. Now it’s all gone.

This happened just weeks ago, and I’ve been an emotional wreck ever since. It has led to severe insomnia and nightmares during the little sleep I can manage. I wake up crying from the stress and trauma not knowing what to do. I truly believed the OST stocks and LIBERTYCOIN crypto trading were genuine and would help me make a small profit to stay afloat, so I wouldn't completely drain my savings before finding another job. Instead, I’ve been left shattered and in financial ruin.

I’ve reported this to the police and the trading platform’s customer support, but both said there’s nothing they can do to help recover the money. A police reference number is available on request for anyone who needs reassurance that this is genuine.

What hurts even more is that this happened after I had already fought so hard to rebuild my life.

It took me a long time to pick myself up after surviving domestic abuse. I lost everything, my home, my stability, and my peace of mind, all to protect my child and keep us safe. After years of starting over, I began slowly rebuilding from scratch.

I spent countless sleepless nights studying, working hard to build a career so I could give my child the basics in life. After regaining some ground, I even began helping others, supporting friends and family back in Africa each month, both men and women in need, especially lone parents and survivors of domestic violence, because I knew that pain personally.

And just when I thought I was finally moving forward… this horrendous, devilish scam knocked me flat again.

It took me a long time, pacing back and forth, losing the little dignity I had left, and humbling myself to finally find the courage to voice this out and write my story. I’m sharing this because I don’t know where else to turn. I have no way to pay for shelter, repay what I borrowed, or survive with my child, and to continue helping those I support back home, who still look forward to the small monthly help I send them, while I search for a new job.

I couldn’t keep this ordeal to myself. I had to explain to my child why I couldn’t keep the promise I made to her for this summer holiday, even after she worked so hard in school for her final exams. She held my hands and cried. We’ve been left with nothing.

If you can help in any way, no matter how small, I would be incredibly grateful.

I am very thankful in advance, and I sincerely pray that God continues to meet you at every point of your need. May you never fall, nor ever become a victim of the wicked ones, in Jesus' name. Amen. I’m truly grateful.

Thank you for reading my story.
