If you've been scammed, you're not alone. Here's what to do.
Stop all communication with the scammer immediately. Do not send any more money. Block their number/email.
If you've shared bank details or sent money, call your bank's fraud team immediately. Most operate 24/7.
Screenshot messages, emails, websites, and transaction records. Don't delete anything — it's evidence.
