Talk to your parents. I agree with oldbuddy - at least give them a chance to support you.

I understand that you're frightened, but you make an interesting point. Go immediately to the bank and explain what's happened. I don't know how you've lost all your money, but you say you've been tricked. If it was via fradulent means, perhaps the bank can help in some way. I wish you the best in this situation!

I have asked for help from the bank.They told me they would try but today they called me that there's nothing that they can do about it. I bought something fom my bestfriend through ebay.I transferred my money to her bank acc. I don't know how she did this but she hacked my acc. and took all my money..

Maybe you need to contact the police! And notify ebay, paypal, etc.

But I did not lose myself and my power of thinking. I'll be sour for may be a couple of days. Then I'll clear my head and plan. Go to somebody who can help me financially. May be a relation, friend. Or a bank. Try to sell something I own and start there. Or start to teach a few pupils for money. Look after one or two children while their parents are away. You can find 100 options. STOP WORRYING. IT CANT TAKE YOU ANYWHERE OTHER THAN TO YOUR GRAVE. Be productive. Good Luck

Good. Now you are thinking. But from my point of view, I do not recommend internet business. It might bring you money at the beggining, but there is so much space to go wrong and lose what you earned earlier as well. So something physical is better. If you cannot go out to work, try something that I told you earlier. What are your resources. Can you stitch, can you cook, do you like children. Think out of the box. Hope you'll come out of your mess soon.

Thank you so much. I did actually thinking of taking job rite now. A homebased one will be great because I can't get a job out there with my student visa. But earning money thru internet..is that possible? After the ebay disaster that I'd experience, I think I've become more n more skeptical about jobs online.

I would first of all go and complain in the police. Then I would go and confess everything to my parents. I know they would help me whenever I need. I would borrow money from them and slowly I would repay them back.

I have done what u say u would except telling my parents.To get money from my parents is hopeless.They are poor enough.
