EMERGENCY [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2026-03-31 I have an emergency. I was scammed out of $864.66 by someone pretending to be with Google while I was trying to set up an account to sell my art. He absconded with the money. The Federal Trade Commission whom I was told to contact has accepted the report and agrees it was fraud. My bank has taken the money out even though they said they wouldn't. They said I initiated the payment and even though it was fraudulently gotten they won't give my money back. My rent is due tomorrow and I can't pay it without the money and face eviction. My apartment house doesn't care about us they just want their money. Can you please help me? I am 78 and just had a stroke. I have no money and had to sell my car to have money to live on since I can no longer drive because of the stroke. I need a minimum of $500.00. I have PayPal at michelewilson327@gmail.com. Right now I am so upset I wish that stroke had just killed me.
