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.

I got scammed a couple months ago as well. I founded a startup and got a lot of letters in the mail from several official registries telling me to pay X fee. Turns out one of them was a scam and I paid a non-insignificant amount of money for nothing shrug-outta-hecks

Feels bad but sometimes they just get you. Consider how many scams you didn't fall for, your score is probably pretty good.
