Like Amazon Wal-Mart Ebay ect...
Year in and out with smooth trusting transactions.
With your credit card 💳 you think never a problem until you hit a crook in disguise that pops up through Google search engine. They are like a trap door spider 🕷 they pop up grab a victim and back down in their shit hole 🕳

The bigger the scam. Why have a high limit unless you need it for your business.
The bank just wants to make money off you.

Hey Mitchell, sorry to hear this happened to you. Everyone should go watch scammer payback on youtube and you'll learn how these scammers function and how to not fall into their traps. They're getting more bold now with AI voice replication as well so it's best not to talk to them at all. If you get a call or email from any company about billing or anything where money is involved, never trust it's actually them. Hang up, go to their website and call the number there.

Most banks will set up your checking/savings account to link to your CC to prevent you from overdrafting, under the guise that it will save you from overdraft fees.

I always explicitly tell my bank not to do that. I would go even a step further and have separate banks for checking and CC. Then having a lower balance checking account for online transactions and paying bills. Then a checking account for income to go in to. Have a internal funds transfer going from one to the other to cover the bills that need to be paid. A little bit of trouble for peace of mind.

I only need a check book for paying my rent.
And buy everything with credit card and pay the balance off each month or pay cash. Most of my bills get paid automatically and I get tex messages telling me I got billed sure beats having to mail out all the bills with postage stamps.

That ended badly 😢 😫 😕 😳
😎 hopefully the next is the charm there's luck in odd numbers. I'm done with the internet like Facebook ect.
But if your single and you interact play joke all you want.
But the first red flag is when that person asks for help and money. That usually happens after they get under your skin. No internet action no risk.
Old people are the easiest to take advantage of.
My scam happened on valentine's day during the pandemic. A good title for a movie 🎬 would be the Valentine's day gift 🎁 card scam.
Why not you got your Valentine's time day massacre.

I'm an idiot 🙃
Because I ignored all the red flags and there was plenty.
My lack of knowledge of dangerous apps being the reason. Now I know better don't toy with these people you will get burned. They spend 24hrs a day trying to get to you. If one happened to show up on my door step I would chop his fking head off with a machete faster than a gun.
