Hi Dee and welcome from Oz. You're in good company here as most of us have fallen the same way so we understand how you're feeling. Stay aware and good luck next time

hi and welcome, Dee.

There is no reason to use YOUR CAPS when you write here in the forum.

Sorry to hear you were scammed. I think the emotions are harder to deal with than the financial losses, and I lost both to my scammer.

I think 90% or more of us here on this site have been in those shoes at least once. It takes time to learn to trust again, but if you have the will, you will find a way.

while it may be too late at this point, here is an article you may want to read for future use :

the emotional pain is what lingers as far as I'm concerned, of that there is no doubt, Dee. its also the one with the steeper climb to get passed the top of the hill.

I keep the ticket I bought for my scammer as a trophy these days ( a reminder of where I've been and how far I've come to get to where I am today). It worked for me as a starting point. Once you are down so far, the only way to go is up, right? At least that is how I think. Its been a long road, but I've gained ground and now can smile and laugh at the trophy ticket.
