I Was Scammed

I WAS SCAMMED 😱

I met a guy who was smoking a cigarette outside of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Library.
At the time, I was raising money for music equipment.

He was intrigued by this and went on to tell me that he had Los Angeles music producer connects.

"Yeah I sent a rapper out to Houston and flew a rapper to LA to do shows," he said.

He said he books rappers and artists for events as a side job, aside from his regular health care career.

"I used to do a lot of promoting when I was younger so I have a lot of music connections."

I told him, it would be cool if he could get me connected with producers that he knows and he told me to send him my Soundcloud and we exchanged contact information.

One month later around midnight, he sent me a text and said he loved my music and the studio he contacted in Houston did as well.

He told me he paid four bills for studio sessions, and he needed to pay the fifth one. He wanted to know If I'd be able to come up with $100 by the next day.
I told him yes.

The next day, I brought a friend along to met up with him. He asked my friend if he could talk to me in private. Even though I didn't want my friend to leave, he did.

Now it was time that he tried to convince me why I should trust him. I ended up getting a ride to the bank to pick up the money, in his raggedy red truck.

I gave it to him before my ex-girl friend called. She was angry that I gave him the money without her being their because she was supposed to be my "manager."

To calm her down, he offered to take us to dinner at Chipotle.

He came up with an excuse, and never showed up!

The next day he wouldn't respond to calls or texts although he was posting statuses on Facebook.

For two days, he didn't respond to me, until I told my brother I was scammed.



My brother was really smart about his move. He texted the scammer as if he was my attorney and said I reported the scammer to the police. 

The scammer then texted me the only text he had sent all day saying, "I'm not ignoring you, why would I?"

I ended up getting my money back at the police station. I asked the cops to collect it from the scammer. I didn't want to see his face again.
