Looking to see if anyone has some similar stories. A year ago on telegram, someone offered to send me ivermectin because I was having trouble getting it where I live. I sent him $ in bitcoin and got absolutely squat in return
Tired of these grifters. Any stories?
If you don't know an online contact in person, then you don't know them. Might as well be sending money to a stranger. I'm sorry you ran into an online scammer who took advantage of your situation.
Bottom line, build a network of people to rely upon in person and use the internet / social media for information sharing and research.
