A scamming thief conned me out of $28000 in loans which have never been paid back and now I’m so broke, I can’t even pay for utilities or food. Then last week he even went and robbed my house of every single item of value, plus many, many items that are so sentimental and irreplaceable. This on top of the fact that I was barely surviving to begin with. He took away whatever fight that I had left to live. I’m done. I’m so stupid. He played on my sense of empathy and compassion and used, lied and scammed me until there was nothing left to steal, including my spirit. I’m done, done, done. I can’t hang on for many more days, or even hours.
Thank you for giving me a place to vent and share. I’m too ashamed to let people in my real life know what happened. :'(

It is beyond words of feeling to descibe what this so called human being has done to another human being. We really are the worst creatures.
Kateralia, humans are mostly evil monsters, save for a few who are unfortunately in the minority. Sorry that you’re also here on this website. 🙁
If it makes you feel any better, my gf cosigned student loans for her ex fiance when they were together. Shortly after he tried to steal her identity and took off. She’s left with paying for his loans because she co signed. And the loan amount is somewhere in the 50k range. Sorry to hear about your troubles. That’s horrible what happened. I find most people on this planet to be a virus. The sad part is, it’s people like us who have been through so much, we are the most caring genuine people. And we’re losing the good guys every single day. So please don’t kill yourself. We need people like you to help brighten up our world.
Omg afflictedsmile I feel so bad for your gf. That is really disgusting. Poor girl. You’re right, the most depressed people are often the most soft hearted and compassionate ones, so we become the victims of the greedy, evil humans of this world. I’m so sorry to hear of what her ex did to her. Also sorry that you’re here. 🙁
Revenge can be extremely empowering…downright therapeutic..this son of a ***** is a despicable human,and has dealt you a blow that is devastating.He has crushed you,dear,yet its not over ..The police I hope are alerted? Report him asap if not. This is so disheartening and cruel and so so wrong of him …perhaps you were naive,BUT that doesn’t make you stupid,and its not grounds for any self condemnation. IF anything,the opposite is whats needed now. You must be kind to yourself,now,and reach out to a friend for support -besides us,I mean. IM so sorry that humans are foul treacherous users…but youre living through this right now-youre surviving this,my dear. Talk and write of it,and express everything you are struggling with. This is not necessarily the end,at all. Its a choice thats always there,and you can return to it anytime you need to-death is always waiting. You are suffering,and you are outraged,-how dare HE? Anger is sometimes the best way to go,because it can lend you strength when you might otherwise lay down and die…Being a kind and trusting person can be a painful and crushing thing when you are surrounded by sharks. I do not think you should try to be anyone else than who you are,though. If you can lean on the anger for a bit,good.If not, then know that you are a beautiful person who cannot be stingy and unkind and that this is triumph in any circumstance!! This world has so few of your kind….do try and hold on
Misanthrope Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I wish that I could feel more anger, but I feel stupid and used more than anything else. I did file a police report after giving him a chance to return our ( my daughter and my) belongings. Worst part was that the loans were for money he needed for life saving cancer treatments, then money to save his condo which was about to be repossessed and money that he needed to pay for cancer and pain meds. Also bail fees as he had been arrested. When he robbed my house, I had let him spend a few nights because he had been sleeping on the street due to the condo situation. Then one morning I woke up to discover that he had robbed everything of value. Emptied my house while I slept. I’m such an idiot. I wasn’t even dating or intimate with him ever. I just know too well what it is to suffer and felt that I should help this human in need. I believed his empty promises to repay me and never thought that he would harm me. I’m a certified idiot. This happened throughout 8 1/2 months.
Thank you so much for talking to me. I’m much too ashamed to let people that know me in person hear about how stupid I’ve been.
Sorry that you’re suffering enough to also be here 🙁
whoever did that to you is a fucking piece of shit!
Hjerteblomst Yes, he is a real piece of crap, but thanks because it feels good to read someone else calling him that!
Oh cagedtiger, I so feel for you. I know the shame of being scammed and financially exploited first hand. I have lost out thousands to scumbags with no conscience too…rest assured they will get theirs eventually. I too feel an enduring sense of shame despite it was a trusting and generous nature which got me into this mess in the first place. I have no advice for you – just my deepest sympathy to share with you. Please don’t let this bastard shame you on top of the financial damage you have accrued. I hope there are legal avenues you can pursue.
Seppeku Really? Oh God, I’m so, so sorry to hear that you have also lived through this kind of horrible ordeal. I have seen your posts on the site in the past, but don’t remember you mentioning that. It’s very damaging not only financially, but also psychologically to be robbed like that. Have you been able to recover anything? I can try to recover some of the money through the courts, but the sentimental items that were stolen are lost forever and that kills me more than anything. :'(
I’m sad for you to be here and also to have gone through that like I have. 🙁
* Seppuku I meant! Unable to edit spelling errors as I’m accessing the website through my phone, since he also robbed my computer. 🙁
Cagedtiger, I’m so sorry this happened to you. I have to say you sound like a kind and compassionate person, and this awful person took advantage of your good nature.
