y u so stupid lend strangers money???? wah lau...Originally posted by brazen:Hi, I helped a total stranger or rather an acquaintance met online by lending $450 with the promise that she would pay back by today. As the story goes, she became totally uncontactable after the money went into her bank account and she just logged onto MSN only to quickly log off when I asked her when she would be repaying the money lent to her out of goodwill.
Her handphone never on thereafter, emails sent no reply etc etc.
She gave a fantastic sob story and she sounded pretty convincing about paying back etc.
Now I feel like a total idiot after being kind because she said her mother passed away and the landlord wanted to throw her out etc...when I went to the address she gave, there was a family living in it and not just her and flat mate as she said!
How can I get my money back?
Pls help...
u bery rich??
gotch her foto? post here leh... maybe some of us can identify her n help u get back the monye -
GG. Hmm, i think u're too good - lending $450 to someone whom u've just known and didn't seven get to see his/her face.
Take it as Lesson Learnt.
Cheers.

friendster ? or #teens ? or hotline ?
hah i have to think twice even if lending anything more then a hundred to my FRIENDS. i really can't imagine u lending it to a online "friend"
im not rich . gek gao is a must.
so the bottom line is are u rich ? if yes, 450 treat it as a donation.
for this case , i really hope u go to the police , see what they can do . -
tell bank.
omfg, i transfer to wrong account number. can u pls transfer back?
-
Hi.. I have simialr experience as u ... Have to plan carefully on how to get ur money back .... Most importantly keep the reciept (Acc no)... Others detail and report to police and make them believe that it is a scam... Then they will proceed to check lo... If u one can PM me about the email and others detail and i get the investigation done for you...

why can't you at least meet up with her or something.
if she can get $450 within a matter of days to repay you, why can't she negotiate with the landlord for a few days grace?
why do you think loansharks need your IC before lending you money? for goodness sake, be more alert. -
Did you get conned by this girl from Friendster, cause I thought I heard some similar crap story from "her" and I told her to go Fcuk herself.

Wonder if there is anyway we can track this mother fcuker down using his IP address or something? -
