Scammed by a girl. Any advice?

[tightfoot69]

Hi.

So I met a girl twice last year in Buenos Aires through Seeking. Had a good time. She was a bit odd in certain aspects but overall I thought she was a nice girl.

Recently started speaking to her again about possibly meeting her again for my trip in a couple of months. I agreed to send her 40 USD for some videos of her. After sending her it through PayPal I have heard nothing from her for a couple of days now despite sending her messages.

In the grand scheme of things 40 USD is not a lot but she has pissed me off.

During our last meet she was fine with me videoing her giving me a blowjob. I don’t know if she remembers and I also know her real name. I wouldn’t go down this route for a small amount of money but is it worth giving the impression I would in the hope that she returns my money?

No disrespect you been here since 2011

You should no the score by now?

It’s about £35 move on and learn from your mistakes

[Hornydevil666]

Some dudes have lost a hell of a lot more than £35 so i wouldn't worry about it, lesson learnt.

how many days is "a couple"?
if it's literally just two you're probably getting paranoid, it could take her a week to sort it out

but if they never arrive, forget about it, just move on. It's not worth the aggravation

Is she a UK escort?

No. But I’m a punter from the UK

I would agree if she didn’t just completely stop messaging or will not even reply to tell me this. She also said she would send them that day.

You might be but this section is - General discussion of UK Escorts and Massage - there's a dedicated punting abroad section as well as various seeking / SB threads.

Its £35 quid, its a pain but it's not the end of the world

However you can say you wouldn't go down the highlighted route above but the very fact you thought about it enough to type it and 'ask advice' about it tells me you were actually considering it.

NO is the answer, on every level you want to look at it that is threats and blackmail territory and will get you in hotter water than you need as well as being morally wrong, I'm not saying pissing off with your dollar is morally right either but two wrongs don't make a wright as we all learnt as kids

If you paid through PayPal not using Friends and Family then you can raise a dispute and they will refund you.

[tightfoot69]

Thanks for the replies.

I am going to just forget about it and move on.

If somebody can just delete this thread that would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Thanks. I can’t remember what I used now but I will look into that.

[RandomGuy99]

I would probably give her a few more days as she might be away or have other stuff going on.  You have a month to raise a dispute.  If you do raise a dispute then don't say I pay her for dome sex vids as PayPal will close both your and her PayPal accounts as they don't allow payments for adult services.

Ha thanks. I’m not too bothered if they close mine, I hardly ever use it. But them closing hers would bring some joy.

Not for her as it may be a main route for her making money.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for her? 🤣

Correct. They don't get deleted.

Life is a lot harder in South America than here. I think you need to understand the potential repercussions of your actions and think twice.

Worried about writing off $40, yet recently you started this thread in which you appear to be happy potentially writing off £300?

https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=433026.msg4293387#msg4293387

So after agreeing to the trip I am now having doubts. The problem is I have already paid for her flights. Around £300 for the flights. I may get a refund on the cheaper one which is about £70 but not looked into it properly. They are in her name so not sure I would get the refund even though I used my card.

I have even offered her the flights as a present so they at least will not go to waste but she is not keen on the idea.

Not sure whether to plod on with and make the best of it or just write off the money and put it down to experience.

Sounds like a bit of a twat.

And? That’s my decision if I write off that money. Completely different to being scammed by somebody.

Well said, technically he is the victim here, but it's difficult to feel much sympathy with what he has said and the other thread. Is this the girl he promised to take on holiday and is backing out on? So she maybe thought she might as well make something out of him?

Is this the same girl you were planning on taking on holiday?

Different girl. Although they do know each other coincidentally.

I was wrong to bring up the video. As I said I would never go down that road. But I don’t see why I should feel bad if PayPal decided to do anything. Maybe she shouldn’t scam people.

I didn't say you should feel bad for her, or even that I had any sympathy for her, just that from what you have said and the way you appear to think that it's not easy to have any sympathy for you. As far as PayPal goes it would be a shitty move to cause them to close her account. If it was deliberate it will 100% have been a friend's and family transfer and you cannot complain to them anyway. If it was a goods and services transfer then you can raise a dispute without mentioning adult services.

As with all things in life, don't be a c**t.

[Sombre0]

Sounds irritating, but it’s not worth chasing. Block her, chalk it up as a lesson, and move on.

Take it from someone who was scammed recently; it can happen to anyone. You can do everything right, but it still can happen.

Best to just take it on the chin and use it as a learning experience.

[tightfoot69]

I recently lost £6,000 to a romance scam. In the grand scheme, it’s not a huge amount, but I can’t help thinking about all the punting I could have done with that money. At the end of the day, there’s nothing left to do but accept it and move on.

Fuck. How did it that happen? Sorry to hear that.

I have decided to move on. I think she has blocked me on WhatsApp now anyway.

[MLawro93]

This. Always be calm and professional. The potential consequences of going beyond that are not worth it.

Let it be a lesson . Sending money for content is pure risk ,
As for the other posting of paying upfront for someones flights is far worse a risk though at least you booked and didnt send them the money I guess , Im guessing this is not your first time at both

[Chazz]

I think that if I was the OP, I'd just be grateful that I'd been taught such a priceless life-lesson for the knock-down bargain-basement price of only £35.

[metalqaz]

It's $40 and the fact that you even thought about "I have her video" shows where your heads at. Take the "L" and move on!

I forgot about it until you bumped the thread.

£6K lost in a romance scam         WTF !!!!
