I LOST my $114 in One Day: Can YOU Believe that?!?

It has been three days that I am whining about my earnings in editing essays worth $114. I received a one-time pin code in my email address. I thought it was the local bank's link, BPI. Once I filled in the information, the transaction was successfully done with PayMaya, which got my online money. Now, I am trying to fix it since my bank's mobile app is being compromised and needed to be deactivated. "Are you one of the victims of these scammers?" "Do you use your bank's mobile app?"

I am sorry to hear this. I can feel what she feels right now. Is it the same banking transaction?

According to the local bank, it is not guaranteed that the money would be retrieved. I am not satisfied with my customer service explanation.

Do not even get me started with these mofo's. Preach how capitalism is great and just work hard and you will make it. Except, when they do crap like that Where I say you know what and then strikes fear into them.. I hope they resolve this issue, but if they do not always here for you brother. We will eventually knock some sense into these greedy aholes.

I have low opinions with these scammers. As of this moment, I need to feel frustrated. For the reason that the bank cannot do anything. They knew the problem and did not do some actions to stop the company's involved.

@Shavkat wow that is so awful. That would not be hard to fix here. We just report it to the credit card company or bank and they investigate and refund the charges. I would cry if I had to go through that and money wasn't able to be refunded. I feel so bad for you.

@shaggin It sucks to deal with this case here. The company's course of action is to block the scammer's account for only 48 hours. It would be forever if I file a legal case.

The company's involved tracked down the culprit. The process of filing a formal complaint since it would be troublesome. I just need to let it go.

I do not use any financial mobile apps, I think it's much safer to use only my desk top for those kinds of sensitive files.

Nowadays Internet scams are increased a lot and everywhere so its better use old method by going the bank or something online from the browser but i think if the app from the bank then it needs to be safe.

I only became a victim of hypnotist 3 year ago, I loss if I convert it is about $200. I just have an application for mobile bank, and the code will not be sent to email. The email only contains transactions if I use the application.

The PayMaya was able to track down the scammer. Unfortunately, they cannot disclose his or her information. It would happen if I file a formal case against him or her. Personally, it would not be feasible because of being troubled to be doing it.
