I keep falling for stupid scams for rideshares. I don't have a vehicle and though my boyfriend has a vehicle I don't want to always rely on him to give me rides when I want to go out of town for a modeling shoot or an acting gig. Lots of times I need a ride from rideshare and though in the past it has worked this last time I got scammed. I should have known and trusted my gut but I really needed a ride, so I just thought maybe I was being too anxious or reading too much into it. But no. After sending the girl $45 to reserve a seat for me on March 8th I have gotten scammed. She has asked for more money since her overdraft took the money I sent her and she said she needs the money available. I did not re-send her money but I should never have sent her the money in the first place. Her Facebook account was set to private so I couldn't even tell that she only has 1 Facebook friend (which would have told me that she is not trustworthy.) anyways, I'm not sure why I seem to be dumb with these things and get scammed. The worst part is that there is nothing I can do. Cops won't do anything and so I am stuck not being able to do anything about it. I really hate scammers and I hate that I fell for a scammer.
Have you ever been scammed? What have you been able to do about it?
I wish I was more technically inclined so I could search where my money went after sending it to her. It's a shame that that happened but it's even more a shame I fell for it. Needless to say I am upset. :/
