I worked in a bank 30 years ago as a part time teller. I was a young mother, had 2 little ones and really loved my job. During the lunch hour rush, we usually filled up with tons of customers on break so it gets hectic, fast paced and the perfect time for scammers.

匿名:
30年前,我在一家银行做兼职柜员。当时我还是一个年轻的母亲,有两个小孩,我非常喜欢这份工作。午餐时间常常是最忙的时候,许多顾客在午休时涌入银行,所以氛围非常紧张、快节奏,正是骗子们作案的好时机。

One day at lunch hour, a got 2 men come to my window, did an inquiry and then asked for change of a 100 dollar bill in 20’s. He then changed his mind on that and also wanted 10’s so handed me back the 20 for 2 tens, then decided he needed another 2 tens…and before I new it I was scammed out of 90 bucks. He manged to pull some type of switch scam where he turned 100 dollars into 190 dollars. I realized I'd been had only after they left and I inwardly panicked. At the end of my shift where we tallied up our cAsh Drawers, my fear was confirmed. Normally at this time you would tell the manager and make a report but I panicked and didn't want to lose my job or my appearance. I decided I'd come back the next day and put 90 of my own dollars back in my cAsh Drawer and no one would know. I'd keep my job, I wouldn't look stupid and life would go on. I wouldn't be able to pay for groceries that week but whatever.

有一天午餐时,两个男人来到我的柜台,先是询问了一些信息,然后要求用100美元换成20美元纸币。他后来又改变主意,要求换成10美元的纸币,所以他把20美元还给我换了两张10美元,接着又说需要再换两张10美元……在我意识到发生了什么之前,我已经被骗了90美元。他用某种手法把100美元变成了190美元。我是在他们离开后才意识到自己被骗了,内心立刻陷入了恐慌。当天结束时,我们需要核对自己的现金抽屉,我的恐惧得到了证实。按理说,我应该告诉经理并做一个报告,但我慌了,害怕丢掉工作和自己看起来愚蠢。我决定第二天再来,用自己的90美元补上,没人会发现。我保住了工作,形象也不会受损,生活继续。我那周买不了菜了,但还能咋样。

Well obviously that didn't work because later after I'd left, someone who closed out the bank went short in her count and as usual, everyone had to have their count done by the manager, including drawers belonging to those not working at the time. That's when it was discovered my drawer was short. I got a call to come back in and give an explanation. I was terrified and although I went back and told the truth, I got fired on the spot. It didn't matter that someone scammed me, just that I hadn't told them before I left. I was bawling my eyes out in the office because I was not only furious at those men for doing this to me with no care for my outcome, but also at myself for trying to remedy it on my own. I also found out that the manager called HQ before she even spoke to me and wanted me fired before she even heard my explanation. I had to do the walk of shame in front of my 12 former coworkers with tears in my eyes. I still feel a twinge of anger when I think of that day. I hope those fuckers enjoyed their lousy 90 bucks.

显然,这个办法没用,因为当天银行关门时,其他人的账目也出错了,通常这种情况需要经理来重新核对每个人的抽屉,包括那些下班人员的抽屉。于是他们发现我的现金短缺。我接到了回来解释的电话,吓得要命。尽管我回去后如实交代了情况,但还是当场被解雇了。问题不在于我被骗了,而是我离开前没有报告此事。我在经理办公室里哭得稀里哗啦,因为不仅仅是那些骗子毫不在意地毁了我,我自己也因为想自作主张解决问题而愤怒。我还发现经理在跟我谈话前就已经给总部打了电话,她根本没打算听我的解释,早就决定要解雇我了。我不得不在12个前同事面前含泪走过,忍受着羞耻的目光。每当我想起那天,心里仍会涌起一丝愤怒。我希望那帮混蛋好好享受他们的那90美元。

I lost a huge sum to a trading firm, i tried making withdrawals from my balance in my account but probed unsuccessful. My sister in-law recommended a recovery expert to me who helped her out on a similar issue some months back. I decided to contact the expert and a few days after i contacted him, he helped me to recover my invested money .The great job he did for me has turned me into a secret and silent advertiser at every given opportunity cause i was overwhelmingly impressed with the quality of service rendered to me.

我在一家交易公司损失了一大笔钱,尝试从我的账户余额中提现,但都未能成功。我嫂子向我推荐了一位几个月前帮助她解决类似问题的资金追回专家。我决定联系这位专家,几天后,他帮我追回了我的投资款。他为我做的出色工作让我印象深刻,所以每当有机会,我都会默默地帮他宣传。

That is where I stopped and realised I was being scammed.

这就是我停下来的时候,意识到自己被骗了。

Oh yes indeed.

当然。

Some few years ago my now ex-wife suddenly left me for another man she'd met at her office. As a result I had to sell our house, split the proceeds and downsize. This left me with a reasonable amount of cash left over (no kids so no child support or anything).

几年前,我的前妻突然离开了我,和她在办公室认识的另一个男人在一起。因此,我不得不卖掉我们的房子,分割财产,搬到一个更小的地方。这让我手里剩下一笔相当可观的现金(没有孩子,所以没有赡养费或其他费用)。

Anyway, feeling down on my luck I got chatting to a guy in my favourite bar at the time, shared a few beers, had a generally good time. After that we used to meet up regularly.

无论如何,我心情低落时,在我当时最喜欢的酒吧里遇到一个人,我们聊了几句,喝了几杯,度过了一段愉快的时光。之后我们开始定期见面。

Skip ahead about a year or so and he informs me he's about to be evicted because he can't pay his rent. Being the fine fellow I am I agree to lend him the money which he duly pays back after a reasonable amount of time.

跳过大约一年,他告诉我他快被驱逐了,因为他无法支付租金。作为一个好人,我同意借给他钱,他也在合理的时间内还了我。

Now, jump forward roughly another year. By this time he's borrowed more rent money. Paid what he could afford back (so he said) but nowhere near all of it.

再过大约一年,他又借了更多的租金钱。他还了他能负担的部分(他说)但远远不够。

Next thing he announces he's getting married and asks me to be Best Man. Despite the outstanding debt I agree feeling rather touched by his request.

接着,他宣布要结婚,并请我当他的伴郎。尽管还有未还的债务,我还是感到很受感动,决定答应了他的请求。

(that's me in the glasses)

拿杯子的正是在下

The inability to pay his rent continues after the marriage but somehow I convince myself he's trying his best to repay me (the odd few payments here and there).

无法支付租金的问题在婚后依然持续,但我总是说服自己,他是在尽力还钱的(偶尔还了一些款项)。

Finally this debt grows to £15,000 (I know, I was an idiot) and he's disappeared living on a houseboat somewhere. Unsurprisingly he's changed his mobile number and not responding to any emails or FB messages. Last I know I managed to track him down somewhere abroad (can't remember where now) via the web hosting an art exhibition in some flash hotel.

最后,债务增加到 15000 英镑(我知道,我是个傻瓜),他消失了,住在某个游艇上。不出所料,他换了手机号码,也不回复任何电子邮件或 FB 消息。据我所知,我最后一次找到他是在国外的某个地方(现在已经不记得是哪里了),是通过网络在某个快捷酒店举办的艺术展。

Overall I'd guess this took place over a period of about 5 years. I happened to bump into his ex just a few months ago in my local town (they're divorced now I found out later) but as soon as she saw me she turned on her heel and disappeared out of sight.

总体来说,这个过程大约持续了5年。我几个月前在我当地的小镇碰到他的前妻(后来我知道他们离婚了),但她一看到我就转身消失在视线之外。

Yes, most of this was my own damn fault for being so trusting. All I can say in my defence is that I was vulnerable and lonely after losing my wife and home and needed a friend. Such is life I guess.

是的,这大部分都是我自己的错,因为我太容易相信别人了。我只能说,在失去妻子和家之后,我很脆弱,也很孤独,需要一个朋友。这就是生活吧。

When I was younger I once went to a prostitute who seemed quite nice and asked for more money than i had on me so she suggested i use my credit card (stupid, i know now) and asked me to write my pin onto a piece of paper and give her the card to have it processed in the office of the brothel. While I was waiting they went to the next ATM and pulled out the limit and returned the card to me claiming that it didn’t work.I only noticed that I had been scammed when I got the bank statement a day later. A price to pay for being stupid, such a thing has never happened to me again of course.

年轻时,我曾去找过一个看起来挺友善的妓女,她要的钱比我身上带的多,所以她建议我使用信用卡(现在知道这是多么愚蠢了),还让我把密码写在一张纸上,把卡给她去妓院的办公室处理。等候的时候,他们去了最近的ATM机,取出了限额的现金,然后把卡还给我,声称交易没有成功。直到第二天收到银行账单时,我才发现自己被骗了。这是愚蠢的代价,当然这样的事情再也没有发生在我身上。

I'm not sure if I have been scammed. Let me explain why.

不确定自己是不是被骗了。让我解释一下原因。

This year, in March, I got sexted for a content writing internship on internshala. I was very excited for this one since I was a newbie freelance writer at that point.

今年三月,我通过Internshala获得了一份内容写作实习的机会。当时我非常激动,因为我那时还是一名新手自由撰稿人。

The person who was supposed to be my supervisor gave me a short assignment to do. After clearing that, he took my interview over a phone call.

应该是我主管的人给了我一个简短的任务来完成。在我通过了之后,他通过电话对我进行了面试。

But by the end of the call, it felt a bit sus.

但在通话结束时,我感觉有点可疑。

The internship details on internshala mentioned the stipend to be 10k/month but this "supposed supervisor" told me it'll be 5k/month.

Internshala上实习的详细信息显示每月的津贴是10,000卢比,但这个“所谓的主管”告诉我每月只有5,000卢比。

I didn't mind it much since this internship meant experience to me and not money.

我当时没有太在意,因为对我来说,这份实习的意义在于经验而不是钱。

The internship offer letter mentioned that it'll be two months long internship, so I was happy.

实习邀请函上写的是两个月的实习期,所以我很开心。

During the first month, everything went well. The supervisor was very kind to me and treated me like a friend.

第一个月一切都很顺利。主管对我很友好,像朋友一样对待我。

He would appreciate my work and ask for revisions whenever required. He even paid me right on time. I felt like I found the best people to work with.

他会赞扬我的工作,并在需要时让我做修改。他甚至按时支付了工资。我觉得自己找到了最好的合作伙伴。

But then came the next month.

但接下来到了第二个月。
原创翻译:龙腾网 https://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处


He stopped giving me any new topics or keywords, stopped replying to my texts and even started giving me tasks other than that mentioned in the offer letter.

他不再给我新的主题或关键词,停止回复我的消息,甚至开始让我做一些在邀请函中没有提到的任务。

The second month ended and I asked him for my payment and other stuff (certificates, LOR, etc..)

第二个月结束后,我问他要工资和其他相关的东西(证书、推荐信等)。

And you know what he did?

你知道他做了什么吗?
原创翻译:龙腾网 https://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处


Firstly he laughed at me for asking him to pay me. (serial scammers vibes detected)

首先,他嘲笑我问他要工资。(感觉像个惯骗)
原创翻译:龙腾网 https://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处


Then he asked me how much do I expect him to pay me. I was like?? dude?? the offer letter clearly says something.

然后他问我期望他支付我多少。我当时觉得?老哥?邀请函上明明白白写着呢。

Then after some back and forth arguments, he payed me less than half of the stipend mentioned in the offer letter.

然后经过一些来回的争论,他支付给我的钱不到邀请函上写的津贴的一半。

Yes, LESS THAN HALF.

是的,连一半都不到。

He justified this by saying, "oh well, you didn't work much this month" and "oh, beginners don't even get this much".

他为此辩解说:“哦,你这个月工作不多。”以及“哦,初学者根本拿不到这么多钱。”

I DIDN'T WORK MUCH? OR YOU DIDN'T LET ME?

我没干多少?还是你根本不给我工作?

And I'm still not very familiar with the toxic client traits, so I'm not sure if this was a scam or was he right to do this.

我对客户的这些不良行为还不太熟悉,所以我不确定这算不算诈骗,还是他这样做是有道理的。

If anyone reads this post till the end, please let me know if I'm overthinking this or if it really was a scam.

如果有人看到这个帖子,请告诉我我是不是想太多了,还是这真的是诈骗。

It's possible to be scammed without realizing it, especially with sophisticated schemes. This can happen through various methods such as phishing emails, fake websites, or fraudulent investment opportunities. Scammers often use social engineering tactics to gain trust and extract personal information or money. By the time one discovers the scam, significant damage might have already been done, highlighting the importance of vigilance and verifying the authenticity of suspicious interactions.

在不知不觉中受骗是有可能的,尤其是在复杂的骗局中。这种情况可能通过各种方法发生,如网络钓鱼电子邮件、虚假网站或欺诈性投资机会。骗子通常使用社交工程策略来获取信任,并套取个人信息或金钱。当人们发现骗局时,可能已经造成了重大损失,这凸显了提高警惕和验证可疑互动真实性的重要性。

“Hello! I am Arab Prince with no heirs and I have randomly chosen you to donate my fortunes to! I just need to transfer it into your bank so can I have all your passwords and SSN?”

“你好!我是阿拉伯王子,没有继承人,我随机选择了你来捐赠我的财富!我只需要把钱转到你的银行账户里,所以能不能给我你的所有密码和社会保险号?”

Lol I’m joking I hope nobody ever falls for that.

哈哈,我在开玩笑,希望没人会真的上当。

So you see, there’s this game that I absolutely love to play but it’s not very popular. It’s basically a simple upgrading game where you kill monsters, get money, upgrade your character, buy better stuff, and repeat. But (I think) not too long ago they added in-game trading. So what happens is that you can put up a good item or pet for someone else’s items, pets, or money.

你看,有个我非常喜欢玩的游戏,虽然不怎么流行。基本上它是一个简单的升级游戏,杀怪、赚钱、升级角色、买更好的装备,然后重复。但我记得不久前,他们加入了游戏内交易系统。所以你可以把一件好装备或宠物拿出来,用来换取别人的装备、宠物或金币。

Anyway, for some reason the first thing I wanted to do when I saw this trading thing was to get a pet, and kill a bunch or monsters to make it really good. I ended up getting it to like level 276 (which is incredible), and people spend a ton of money on really good pets. My pet was probably worth something around $50 in real life, and I was planning to sell it and get hella rich.

不知为何,当我看到这个交易系统时,我第一反应就是抓一只宠物,然后通过杀怪让它变得超级厉害。我最终把它练到了276级(这简直不可思议),人们愿意花大价钱买那些特别好的宠物。我的宠物在现实生活中可能价值50美元左右,我打算卖掉它,狠狠赚一笔。

So I went to a trading district, and chatted to the whole room, saying something like, “Selling level 276 pet with amazing stats for good offer.” A guy wearing very newbie clothes at a low level came up to me with an offer of $75 worth of in-game money, and I figured he was a noob that pays to win.

于是我去了交易区,对整个房间的人说了句类似于:“出售276级宠物,属性超棒,给个好价。”一个穿着新手衣服、等级很低的人过来向我出价,用游戏内价值75美元的金币来换,我以为他只是个充钱变强的新手。

So of course I agreed, and so we both opened a trading tab, and the way it works is that both people have to confirm twice so the trade happens at once (less scamming). But this guy had somehow figured out a way to fake adding a lot of money (by like putting some amount down and taking a bit away - I don’t really know) and he put the agreed amount down.

当然,我同意了,于是我们都打开了交易界面。这交易系统要求双方都确认两次,交易才会同时生效(减少诈骗)。但这家伙不知道怎么弄的,居然能假装放入了很多钱(好像是放入一些再拿走一点——我也不太清楚),他放入了我们约定的数额。
原创翻译:龙腾网 https://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处


We both confirmed, and when the trade tab closed, I was so excited to have accomplished that much work for so much money. I looked up with pride to my money count, only to find about $2 worth of money! I lost so much of my time for basically nothing (relationships am I right).

我们都确认了,当交易界面关闭时,我激动得不行,因为我觉得自己通过努力赚到了这么多钱。我满怀骄傲地抬头看了看自己的金币数,结果只看到大概2美元的金币!我花了那么多时间,结果基本上什么都没得到(关系就是这样吧)。

I still don’t know how he did it, but that’s the worst scam that’s ever happened to me.

我到现在还不知道他是怎么做到的,但这是我遇到的最糟糕的骗局。

Yes. It's embarrassing to say but I have lost a lot of money on dating sites. Men will set up portfolios with fake names, photos, information. They will hit on you and suck you in. The next thing you know they are asking f or a couple hundred for some disaster and you go to a money wiring service like western unx to send it to them. Them the disasters get bigger and bigger. You keep wiring money. Deep inside you know it's a mistake but you can't stop there is hope of a relationship. Or hope you will get your money back. You lose big. Stay away from it. This is a game you do not want to play. There are websites look up scammers. They all use the same verbiage, pictures , etc. Some of the stuff is on a website just look it up. Google scammers see what you get.

是的,说出来有点尴尬,但我在交友网站上亏了很多钱。男人们会用假名字、假照片和虚假信息建立档案。他们会主动接近你,把你吸引进去。接着,不久后他们会向你借几百块钱,说遇到了什么灾难。于是你就去像西联汇款这样的汇款服务给他们汇钱。但灾难会越来越大,你不断汇款。你内心深处知道这是个错误,但你停不下来,因为你对这段关系或是拿回自己的钱还有一丝希望。最后你亏得很惨。远离它吧,这是一场你不想参与的游戏。有一些网站可以查询骗子,他们都使用相同的语言、照片等等。这些东西有的在一个网站上,只要查一下就行了。用谷歌搜一下骗子,看看你能找到什么。

I personally haven't been, but my brother the math whiz has. He was buying his first house about 2 years ago and was doing most of the stuff through phone calls and email. I don't know the whole story, but he got an email that said he had to deposit/pay $38K immediately and he sent it and has never seen the money again. He was always considered the 'smart' one in the family and I guess thought he could do this without picking the brains of somone in the family that has bought and sold a few houses in her time (me) or his other sister or two brothers. I would have told him it was a scam as I had heard of this nonsense happening.

我个人没有被骗过,但我那数学天才的兄弟被骗了。大约两年前他在买第一套房子,大部分事情都是通过电话和邮件完成的。我不知道整个故事的细节,但他收到了一封邮件,说他必须马上支付38,000美元,他就把钱打了过去,然后再也没见到那笔钱了。我们家一直认为他是“聪明的那一个”,我想他可能觉得自己能搞定这件事,没有去请教一下家里那些有过买卖房屋经验的人(比如我)或是他的其他姐妹和兄弟。如果他问了,我肯定会告诉他那是个骗局,因为我早就听说过这样的事。

Marcy Stehling
I’ve been scammed, but not by a scammer person.

我被骗过,但不是被某个人骗的。

I was pretty new to facebook. I was really enjoying it and spent more time than I ought to have looking at it. One day, I saw an ad for this *miracle* face cream. Who doesn’t want to look younger? I watched the videos and thought, “Wow! I have to try this stuff”. So I signed up to receive a trial bottle of the stuff. I did not realize at the time that when I requested my trial bottle, I was also signing up for automatic shipments of this face cream until after I had used up the trial bottle and another one came in the mail. And naturally I received a bill with the product. Well, it wasn’t a bill so much as a notification that the payment would be automatically withdrawn from my account.

当时我刚接触Facebook不久。我非常喜欢这个平台,花了比我应该花的更多的时间在上面。有一天,我看到了一个神奇面霜的广告。谁不想显得更年轻呢?我看了视频,心想:“哇!我一定要试试这个东西。”于是我申请了试用装。当时我并没有意识到,当我申请试用装时,我也同时订购了这个面霜的自动发货服务,直到我用完了试用装,收到了一瓶新的面霜和一张账单。实际上,这并不是真正的账单,而是通知我付款会自动从我的账户中扣除。

I liked the cream. It smelled so good, and it felt good on my face. So I went ahead and paid for the newest bottle; I think it cost me 96 bucks. I used it all up, but didn’t see any dramatic changes, but when the next bottle arrived, I went ahead and paid. The second bottle only cost me 79 bucks, as a returning customer. Cool. By the time I finished the second bottle (they lasted about a month) I decided not to purchase any more of the product. So I called customer service and cancelled. I spoke to a man who was very nice, but had some kind of strong accent, so that I could hardly understand him, but in the end he thanked me for using the product and said he cancelled future shipments.

我很喜欢这款面霜。它闻起来很好,涂在脸上也很舒服。所以我决定付费购买这瓶新的面霜,价格是96美元。我把它用完了,但没有看到什么显著的变化。不过当我收到下一瓶时,我还是付了钱。这次作为回头客只花了79美元,挺好。等我用完第二瓶(每瓶大概可以用一个月),我决定不再购买这个产品了。于是我打电话给客服取消订单。接电话的是一个口音很重的男士,我几乎听不懂他在说什么,不过最后他感谢我使用产品,并说取消了后续的发货。

Sure he did. Next thing I know, here comes another bottle of the face cream for 79 bucks a pop. So I refused it and it went back. However, when my bank statement came, it showed a payment to the company in the amount of $79. So now I was out almost 80 bucks, and I had sent the cream back.

他说得倒是轻松。结果没过多久,又来了一瓶面霜,每瓶79美元。所以我拒收了包裹,把它退回了。但是,当我收到银行对账单时,上面显示公司已经扣了我79美元的款。所以我不仅没了这80美元,面霜还被我退回了。

You know what I’m going to say. I got another bottle in the mail along with another bill for $79. By then, I was tired of messing around with these people, so I called my bank. Was told I needed to come in and talk to a banker. Ok. The banker told me that there are thousands of companies that scam people the way I had been scammed. He said it was next to impossible to stop once they got my credit card information. So I had to get a different debit card with a new number. That stopped it.

你知道接下来会发生什么。我又收到了另外一瓶面霜,还有79美元的账单。那时,我已经厌倦了跟这些人打交道,于是我打电话给我的银行。银行告诉我需要亲自去跟银行工作人员谈谈。好吧。银行工作人员告诉我,有成千上万家公司用这种方式诈骗人们。他说一旦他们得到了我的信用卡信息,几乎不可能阻止他们。所以我不得不换了张带新号码的借记卡。这样才算是结束了这个骗局。

I sure did feel like a fool, but lesson learned. Months passed, maybe even a year or more, it’s hard for me to remember now. One day I got a letter from some attorney, telling me that the face cream company had been charged with fraud and there was a settlement, and since I was a victim of their scam, I would receive part of the settlement. Enclosed was a check for around $75 as a reimbursement.

我确实觉得自己像个傻瓜,但这是个教训。几个月后,也许是一年多以后,我现在已经记不清了。某一天,我收到了一封律师信,信上说这家面霜公司被控欺诈,并达成了和解。由于我是他们骗局的受害者,我会收到和解的一部分赔偿。信里还附了一张大约75美元的支票作为补偿。

I still lost out. In the letter it said that the company advertised these amazingly great results, but it was nothing more than petroleum jelly-like stuff, and wouldn’t work the miracles that the company claimed it would.

我还是亏了。在信中写道,这家公司宣传了非常夸大的效果,但实际上这只是类似凡士林的东西,根本达不到他们所声称的神奇效果。

I hate scammers and I hate to be the victim of scammers. Since that happened, I show no mercy when someone tries to scam me, especially through phone calls. Don’t be like me and learn the lesson the hard way. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

我讨厌骗子,也讨厌成为骗子的受害者。自从那件事发生以后,每当有人试图通过电话诈骗我时,我都毫不留情。不要像我一样经历这些事情才学到教训。如果看起来好得不像真的,那它很可能就是骗人的。
