hi

someone posted this up the other day, my emails started last month (july) and said that i could be away on the 12th of August and i have also received the same emails and i thought everything was above board and sent the money (500 AUD) to a person who i thought was part of the company.
ayesterday recieved an email saying that i had not been successful and are wanting more money off me so i then sent another email saying that i would like my 500 AUD back and would like to withdraw from the job

i am soo angry and wish i hadnt bothered with all this as i now have to give money back to my family and friends as i said bye to them and money was a leaving present, and also have to tell my parents who will not be happy either. i wish i had listen to my friends.

is there anything i can

Welcome to ScamWarners rgg. I am sorry you were taken by this person. That is how the scam works, they continue to ask for more money.

Please post the email address the scammer contacted you from so others can be helped.

It is good for you to not throw good money after bad. The scammer will probably try to draw you back in to the scam. Block their email address from your contacts.

Sadly, there is nothing that can be done to get the money back. It is gone. Be honest with your family and friends.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Hi rgg, some scammers are very persistent. Keep ignoring him, in the end he will go away.
And beware of other types of scam, he might try it from a different angle with a new name.
