Hey everyone.
So that title may not make me the most popular person around but I want to get my story off my chest.
It started back in 2019 when I was a middle aged teenager and needed extra money to go get food, hang out with friends, etc. Normal teenager things. I didn’t have a lot of money and no job at all. I had always wondered how people fall for those cashapp scams on instagram and wondered how much they made. I was determined to try and figure it out. It started with me trolling and wasting time with scammers because they were thieves (ironic isn’t it) and had a lot of fun doing that. Eventually I met someone through one of my influencer pages, and with some negotiations, I was able to make him spill everything to me.
He told me that from scamming on cashapp he made over $1,000 a week (insane for a kid my age) and I desperately wanted to learn how to do that. So what happened next I cannot discuss as much but in short he was able to tell me everything there was to know about cashapp scamming. My career that I would later regret had begun.
At the time, I was very experienced with photoshop so I could fake screenshots really easily and that is exactly what I did. After I had set eveything up according to my new scammer friend’s instructions, it was time to begin. My first day I raked in a whopping $300. I knew this would be the niche for me. For weeks after I would make more than my friend was making with the amount of time put into the legitimacy of the page, fooling even scammers it looked so real. I had amassed thousands.
The thing that bothered me was right when I would receive the payment and block them, I felt so guilty and sorry. I hated scamming but it was a way to make all the money I ever could have as a teenager. I bought expensive clothes, shoes, and other wealth status materials. I still could not wear any of it though without feeling a pit in my stomach of the people I had swindled. People who had worked hard and fell for something so convincing. It was one night I could not bear it any more and I had a sudden change of direction.
I took it upon myself to pay everyone that I had ever swindled back. I couldn’t bare the damage I had done to so many people. I had been scammed in the past before and you just feel awful and terrible inside when you fall for a scam. You beat yourself up about it. So I got a job (cant say what as) and started to make the money back. I sold all my clothes, shoes, watches, everything I had bought with the scam money and collected all of it to return. Slowly and surely, I was able to pay every dollar back plus $10 more as an apology. It took 3 months to do but when I had finished it, I felt way better, the guilt on my back had been lifted and I feel like I had fixed my problem.
That is my story as an ex-cashapp scammer.
