Damange Control

The Scam Network

Today the silence said more than I could in words.

I was in a relationship, according to the lady, with a lady who "claimed" to live in Whitchurch, Bristol.

I said "according to the lady" because we never met after 25  dates; she always had an excuse for not meeting me.

Today, for the first time in a month, a lady "claiming" to be her sister hasn't contacted me; probably because all she gets is a cold business reply.

Why should I reply warmly, when I am not sure I am being entrapped into another scam?

Her "sister" keeps asking for £20 so she can send the moan I loaned back, but some weeks the payment is 90% closed, then it drops to 65% the next week

A slow recovery

 Too much to recover

Too much to hope for

I am in doubt, I shall never recover the money I threw away on the scam I fell for in June. I was so desperate for recognition as a writer after my 15-year struggle, I foolishly fell for flattery.

Silence is Golden

I never told my family of the scam I fell for, only the ones which followed; including one by Jewish writer, Limor Regev.

My only hope is for a slight income from the sales of the book, or eBook.

I am not expecting anything as I haven't sold an eBook for over a decade, which is why I no longer write.

Did she get the message?

Silence is Golden

                                                               All quiet on WhatsApp

Last night, I blocked a scammer on WhatsApp, her actions resulted in my recent hospital visit, and having stitches put over my left eye, as well as getting a broken nose in my fall.

She hasn't tried to contact me via WhatsApp today, but as she is in the USA, several hours behind the UK, this could chnage soon. However, my stance will remain, no money will be sent, I decided this before the accident

All Quiet on the Twitter Front

 Silence is golden

It's odd how we get accustomed to things so easily, for the last four months I was constantly pressured to take out plans for book promotion.

Today has been the quitest day since mid-June, it is pleasing to be able to do something, and not hear the ping of a message on Twitter.
