She’s smart enough to claim that she has connection with the Pakistani intelligence. But not smart enough to tell the investment website was a scam 🤦‍♂️

[@paulbaker8449]

Exactly what I was thinking...

[@jamesjames8174]

Pakistani intelligence???

[@deniseharrison1410]

You would think she would think Ummm I wonder if this is a scam, Na all good I’ll just transfer $500k all good 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@MYBIGKINDHEART]

​@@deniseharrison1410couldn't make it up

[@fredsalfa]

I’m sorry to hear she had her money stolen but where is the revenge?

[@Omar_Zazzle]

Good question.

[@margaretvalentine5957]

I’m sorry to say we all wasted our time seeing this: there wasn’t any revenge whatsoever!!!

[@jaidenSalinas]

My husband and I was scammed twice last year, totaling losses over $550k. It was a lengthy process involving federal intervention to get our money back. We need more people like Retrievebackteam taking a stand against these criminals. Much love and support from California.

[@Edgardo477]

There is immense pain in losing a large amount of money but to garner courage to speak about it says a lot about the person’s great character.

[@Chaim127]

I got scammed out of my retirement money but I was new to it. thanks for sharing will definitely get in touch with them

[@DrealOtis00]

Sorry about that, just don't understand how so many human beings can be so heartless to people like that

[@dspethschneider]

Thanks for the Info. Got scammed this past week out of 2.25 Bitcoin

[@havad3938]

Folks, I think retrieve.... is a scam. nothing online. Don't trust regardless

[@reecekelly2891]

In Europe if u get scammed your bank legally has to pay you back

[@thisisdevin111]

How to legally rob your bank in Europe 😈

[@Malenasib]

So, were is the revenge, si didnt get her money back🤷‍♀️

[@jamesjames8174]

Her revenge is on us the viewers

[@LukeVidler]

So the real story is the police won’t help you but there is hope if you resort to vigilante methods and have contacts in corrupt overseas governments.

[@user-ec6pb3hf4n]

Your bank, the police and AFP will assist you, but once the money goes overseas, it is more difficult

[@maybee6918]

I met a scammer on tinder and played along with him when he started asking for money thinking the police would be interested but they couldn’t have cared less almost laughing at me for reporting it. They said if I haven’t lost any money, why report it? Excuse me for being too aware and too smart to get ripped off but trying to prevent others from being scammed is not valued.

Step 1. Don't Click. Step 2. Put the kettle on and pat yourself on the back for not clicking!

Mine and my daughters were stolen by a group of criminals who moved into our unit block they constantly stole everyone's mail outta the unit boxes cutting off locks and using crowbars to get them open u tell body Corp to fix then secure them they just steel again we live different st to boxes they lived next to boxes once they get your mail or identifying things via mail then they quickly set up identity of you hack everything banks put bills in your name one worked under daughters name false tax reports haked her bank 3 times using fake ids every time shut info down they open more licences phones my friends daughter hacked by international crime gang booked flights all over in her name hotels her 3 times to it's not just via ph or computer they're slick gangs and there's no help u just have to keep re opening bank card licence alert everything your name in very hard to shut down bills ect in your name u gotta then prove who u are

[@user-xn8pd2re3n]

They then move out start elsewhere but I see one back at boxes again even though moved away cops don't want to know

[@egbulefuchristiana6056]

Call the kettle black because I don’t understand what you mean by step 2

[@egbulefuchristiana6056]

I’m going to be the pot, open the lid and tell me if I’m telling the truth about use photos!

[@willchris3894]

I think it’s would be in the interest of all Australians if the government helped get the money back , what has happened to national pride and helping fellow citizens, why does Australia welcome thieves ,why was this person allowed TO DO ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY time to wake up Australia before it’s to late.

[@laurap3244]

All those call centre scammers now live here on student visas, hope your local 7/11 doesn't skim you like mine did

[@multioptioned]

What government? You mean taxpayers right? 😮

It's Victoria police. The Pell case and the Covid handling was all you need to know about them. Disaster needing cleaned up.

[@dizzman5546]

Ring 'Dr Phil' he'll go after them

[@premilajohn5693]

Yes where is the revenge ? The thief got her money anyway !

[@dizzman5546]

[@Gardener7]

How will she get her money back? Can the police do anything?

[@Jimmeh_B]

Of course they could. But they won't.

[@user-jz7sj2cg1s]

@@Jimmeh_B No the police do not help at all. would be good if they did!

[@user-jz7sj2cg1s]

That is the sad thing Australian police will not even listen. this should change, we want to know that the law is on our side,

[@cm9859]

WOMEN .... JUST STOP GIVING MONEY TO ANYONE ONLINE! IF SOMETHING SOUNDS TOO GOOD, IT IS? IF YOU GET AN AD SAYING YOU WON SOMETHING, YOU JUST HAVE TO PAY TAXES OR SHIPPING? NEVER FALL FOR THESE FREE GIFTS BY PROVIDING BANK DETAILS OR CREDIT CARD.

[@alexanderralph8341]

You should tell Deeveeaar & Scammer Payback about it

[@arbjful]

If you lost your money, it’s your fault

[@user-jz7sj2cg1s]

One is often threatend with your life so what do you do.

[@mcalexy2k]

So what's the end result? How she taken revenge?

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

Some of the scammers should pay back 90% to the ones who go to the media just to keep them quiet because it's exposing their rackets more widely.

[@arbjful]

Were the brown people involved?

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

@@arbjful Brown people?

[@arbjful]

@@ReturnOfTheJ.D. you know the ones who are working full time with student visas ,

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

@@arbjfulThat's an excellent point! I however was only thinking of the ones in other countries but you've hit the nail on the head there. I believe that's going on hugely now. There's a definite correlation.

Fun fact, her ex husband now loves Pakistani food.
