Long story short, he lost his job and had his car repod. Hes had many job offers afterwards but due to not having a car and his mom refusing to help, he couldnt actually start employment. With lack of bus routes and all offers of employment being 30+ miles away, he cant get to work if he accepted.
Fast forward to now, a year later, he just scammed someone for $1,000 online. He just sent me a screenshot of him receiving the money on PayPal. He asked me yesterday about this and I told him it was stupid BUT hes desperate. His mom moved away and hes bouncing around couch to couch from mutual friends. His mother has two cars one of which she doesnt use. She wouldnt even let him use it to get to and from work. Feels bad man. ... Copied to Clipboard!

How'd he scam them? He mentioned hed post up offers of selling an iPhone X. Someone was dumb enough to send him $1000 for it. I dont really know the legality here but the person who sent him money is from Georgia - which means its federal since its crossing state lines. I really hope he covered his tracks but the fact that its a paypal account leads me to believe hes fucked. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If he used paypal to "scam" this person it is highly likely that they will be able to get their funds back by filing a claim. Hopefully he hasn't blown all that money, bc it will definitely come back to bite him in the ass.

Your friend sounded completely sympathetic until he started engaging in scamming Hes not a bad dude. He actively seeks out work but because we live in a suburb with no public transportation he cant find work. He applies to even the shitty minimum wage jobs around but none are ever hiring. He routinely gets called for good jobs in the city but has no way of getting there. He really is fucked. If I were in his shoes Id be fucking depressed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Since I know him and can see the daily struggle I can understand why he thinks he needed to resort to scamming to get his life together. No job hence no car. Cant find employment because no car.

Kajagogo posted...eggcorn posted...not buying it. tell his dumb ass to bounce on a couch closer to a J-O-B. What? Hes applied to many local places that he can get to with a bike (no public transportation in our area). He gets job offers of 13-14 an hour in the city which is about a 30-40 minute drive but has absolutely no way of getting there (no public transportation). He had a clean criminal record. What would you suggest he do? He asks friends (me included) but because of our work schedule we cant help him get back and forth to work. We dont have money to help. Im curious as to see what youd think up because Ive been trying to think of something as well as him and weve come up with nothing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not an ideal option but he could Uber/Lyft back and forth to work until he can get himself back on his feet. Obviously that won't be viable for the longer distances but for the shorter distance opportunities it could work as a stop gap.

If he gets away with his ill-gotten gains, it might be worth getting a really cheap car instead. But otherwise, he might need to borrow some money from some friends to get to his first pay check. Again it's not a great option, but well if poverty was easy to get out of, we wouldn't have people in poverty.
