I have multiple food intolerances that cause extreme bloat. Been dealing with them for years but can’t ever seem to win. I look pregnant and I know this. Like you though for medical reasons I can’t so whenever someone asks me about my “pregnancy” I want to die a little. I’ve never had a kid and never will.

I used to work at an airport and we would have to get weights of individuals plus the weight of their carry on. We never actually weighed them and only asked them for approximate weights. Well people had a habit sometimes of telling me their weight plus added with the weight of the bags they planned to check. So when she told me 400 pounds I without thinking said. “Ma’am I need the weight not including the bags you will check today.” The look I received and the feeling of embarrassment I was filled with is something I will never forget.

I am so sorry this happened to you. Sadly most cases like these are scams. One thing to keep in mind is that there will be other people offering you to recover the money, but that is a scam as well.

I’m not sure what country you came from, but most countries have so many laws to make scams like this difficult, sadly the US lacks laws and measures like this.

There is a good chance that the “girl” you were talking to is not even a girl but someone that does this for a living and you never stood a chance. They probably live nowhere near you.

Never send anyone money via Zelle, Cash app or Venmo, as you have no way of getting back that money. If you pay someone with PayPal don’t use friends and family, as that also doesn’t allow for you to get your money back, you should always select merchant.

In the future, if you are unsure if something is a scam, it probably is. If you need confirmation ask on r/Scams.

Oh god, the awkwardness of your answer reminded me of the time me and my brother went out to eat once - I'm 8 years older than him, but we look about the same age. He also has really long hair. I'm a cis female, and he's a cis male.

A waitress comes up to us, refers to us as "ladies" - realises one of us is not a lady. She apologised, my brother laughed it off, he gets that sometimes, nbd. She then later made the same mistake again, apologised again, then says "my bad, you guys are a really cute couple!"

My brother quickly made his order because he knew I was cringing my way out of the restaurant at this point, god I really wanted to correct her but the poor girl looked so awkward and uncomfortable already.

You are absolutely right! This is such a no go! Somebody threatening you is not acceptable at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you may know this from yourself ... if you are under pressure, some people tend to find very offensive words, to express their anger. What shall he tell the bank, if he cannot pay the credit payments? He may also see his own family in danger.
