Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Feel like shit. It was banker phone scam. I havent told my parents yet but I will need to because I opened a loan under their influence and I havent a job yet so they will need to pay for it. Im devastated. But I gotta hunker down now and keep moving forward. Im so ashamed, i cant eat, I cant sleep.

My sibling was just telling me that our dad spent a hour on the phone with one of those people and that he didn't get suspicious until they wanted him to transfer all of his money to a Paypal account.
