Hey guys! Haven't really given a darn since it happened and followed the instructions here. It's been four months and nothing. As a lot of the threads go, these guys are petty and will move on very quickly as this is a business for them; wasted time means wasted opportunities...fortunately (and unfortunately for future victims). It's a business, so in most businesses, particularly where people are doing illegal things, they will not keep the evidence, so more than likely (as mentioned in other threads, the'll delete them. It's a federal crime in most countries to record without consent illegally, I believe it's called DCMA. Anyway, before I get off topic I'll get back to it. Your life will go on, you'll laugh at yourself, may be feel stupid, but you'll be better. But these dirt bags don't own your life and they never will, just remember to follow the steps exactly on this site. And just live like you did! Nothing really changed at all except that we're the wiser about our behaviors (I hope so anyway!)
I turned off my Facebook back in August and it was extremely liberating beyond just the rules suggested here. It's really nice to not be at peoples beck and call on messenger or have to read the nauseating noise of the news feed.
I moved across the country (not because of the scam, lol) but because I had an opportunity to better my life even more. I'm waiting for an offer for a job that pays about 40% more. All these things, positives. And you have to keep that in mind. Focus on the positives! Dating is normal. Work is normal. Friendships are normal. You'll be fine, just clear your mind, think logically, and overcome!
