Romance Scam Story

A reddit report about a romance scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I was called the police who are right around the corner minutes ago. They're telling me to comply and I'm not engaged in fighting mode trying to keep DH off me. After a lot of dodging in and out of traffic, I tighten my bookbag and throw my fists up, something I should've done when he gave chase. DH is saying stupid threatening stuff, I want to leave and go about my business. Police finally pull up, they question me and I think they take his side. I let the police search my stuff, I explain my side, I listen to the police and they make me briefly put my hands behind my back for no reason. I call close by. I'm getting chased up on and down the block shouting back and forth while im being threatened verbally and physically over a lost wallet I paid too much attention in store to some 'bul dropping off a wallet to the cashier and after trying to ignore this DH by miming, "earphones in" 3 times he gets aggressive.
