    Default internet rip off

    my cousin lent 1200 dollars to some chick off the internet and now has discovered fake address and she won't give the money back, apparently he had been talking to her for 5 years and she had never once asked for money until now when she was desperate, he had never meet her and is now broke for xmas as he got the money off his visa, all he has is her number and she keep say she well put the money in that day but never happens, been over a month since he paid her and she was suppose to pay back in a week, what do you think he should do?
    he came and asked if he could borrow off me as he dosn't want his parents to know
    i let him a couple of hundred but not sure if i should lend him any more

    Course this is the painful thing called "experience" and from it comes "wisdom"

    Dont give him the money. And tell him not to be naive enough to lend money to people on the internet he doesnt know.

    what do you think he should do?
    Get a full frontal lobotomy and a vasectomy so he can't spread his stupidity to the rest of society.

    ^ True dat. I'm guessing he didn't get a contract, either. What form did he send the money in? Does he know her *real* first and last name? Finding her is one thing, extracting the money from her is another... which would mean getting the law involved... which would mean 'fessing up to his parents.

    I would like to add to the above statement:

    .... and live with!!!

    Anyone else thinking: A fool and his money.... ???

    Don't become another fool. Don't lend him anything more. It's his own stupid fault for not having the common sense to lend money to someone who he has NEVER met, only has a phone number... *insert eye roll here*

    I also agree with the above course of action.

    i let him a couple of hundred but not sure if i should lend him any more
    Could his story be bullshit to cover for something else? Who is scamming who?


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I think he should realize he got scammed and will never see that money again. I dont think you should lend him anymore money until he pays you back what youve already lent him or youll end up in the same situation hes in....
