Ts treat it as money gambling lose or bursa saham. Life is short yolo, mostly everyone die at 60 yo

this, we all still have a life to live even if scammed. as much damage it has done to your life and so on, there are still ways to earn back the lost money

Damn bro, i feel your pain. I got scammed once before of 32k. All my savings, gone. Just started work few years and living frugally, eat economy rice everyday, use secondhand car while my colleagues all buy new cars etc, just to give it all to the scammers.

This is the hand u have been dealt with. Take it, learn from your mistakes, take some time to grief and move on. You can also talk to your wife. Lean on her for emotional support.

Once u have moved on, you will remember it, but u wont feel like eurhhhhhhh sakitttttt when u think about it.

shit bro, this is why i damn paranoid with the rate of how much scams cases are rising. everyone is damn desperate in trying to earn more due to rising cost of living so they are getting more easy to prey on

its not the end of the world, but the feeling really sucks. last time i only kena skem on buying a phone, wasnt huge amount (<1k) but fuck i feel like i want to vomit just rethinking about it

For me it wasn't even about earning. Scammer mentioned my kid and used that to blackmail me. Didn't help me emotionally. Credit card companies can only say the transactions are valid so I have to tanggung lah. Wishing that my saving account got back something, but they told me they already withdrew the money. Just praying for some goodwill amount that will help.

yeah this is another of my fears, confirm will fucking panic, its like imagine if you get a call one day and was told one of your family members got kidnapped, give RM10mil ransom or else.. you dont feel safe already when people threaten you this way. its a whole diff level kind of fear struck into you

but the main gist ive taken from your case is to always be calm, dont rush to react and think it thoroughly before doing anything. especially when it involves money

Exactly this, all logic goes out the window. Have to remind myself to calm down the next time this shit happens. Still feeling very stupid a bout it.

this is normal, your brain will always remind you of stupid shit that youve done in the past. can be something minor like failing an exam which makes you feel dumb

but ultimately rice is porridge ed, so best to do is to continue living and move on. if there was a button to go back in time heck i would SMASH it to go back in time to undo my stupidity

Yeah, the police are very unhelpful. I don't want to discount the banks just yet, but they all want me to restructure my payment just so that I can pay them so yeah....

you also need to remember one thing. the police's job is to investigate crimes and catch criminals

in a scam case however, they have no way at all to do any of this considering its all related to bank transactions and digitally. the most they can pin the crime onto are onto the "owners" of the bank accounts you have banked in to

in reality thats where their jurisdiction ends cause they have no resources at all to combat these level of crime
