On December 13, 2014, I was contacted via facebook message by a woman named Tiffany Johnson (on facebook) advertising that she could flip cash by adding a 0 on the end of whatever of money you send. She then gave my number to a man who calls himself Derek and he contacted me via phone telling me he could flip my money. Saying all I had to do was load whatever amount I wanted flipped onto a Vanilla Reload card and he'd flip it. Claiming to turn my 200 dollars into 2000 dollars. I was very hesistant at first and had read the scam reports and even told him about them. Tiffany and Derek both kept reassuring me that this was not a scam only business and that they wanted to help me. So December 16, 2014, I eventually agreed to trust them and loaded the money onto the card with hopes that their guarantee was secure. Hours later the money was gone but I was still receiving contact them on the process of the 'flipping'. Around 730pm I contacted Tifffany Johnson via facebook messenger telling her I sent the money and had been waiting all day for a process I was told to only take an hour at the most. Then I received a text message from Derek saying the process was at 80% complete and that he would call me soon and never did. Around 9pm I called Derek and he would take any of my calls so I preceded to contact Tiffany Johnson but quickly noticed I was no longer able to see her page or contact her. So it was obvious they had skemmed together and scammed me out of my last, which they knew ahead of time. So I contacted Vanilla Reload card company on what to do next to get my money back and bring them to justice because I know I'm not the first person they've done this too. They need to be stopped.

Trust Yourself!

AUTHOR: Katie - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, December 17, 2014

This is one of the most prevalent scams in the world and people continue to fall victim to it because they're not trusting their first instinct. Trust yourself, not the stranger!

Nothing remotely like this will ever not be a scam. Ever. When a stranger says "give me some money and I'll give you more money back" for no apparent or valid reason, they are lying to you. If someone says you've won a cash prize but you need to pay a certain amount to receive it, they are lying to you. If a government official asks for your bank account number for a grant you're supposed to receive that you know nothing about, they are lying to you.

The best way to stop these people is by 1) trusting your gut instinct and 2) stopping and thinking "wait - does this really make sense?". These types of scammers can't survive if there's no one to scam.
