There are quite a few parts of that article that don’t really add up but it’s not surprising, young people are fairly naive when it comes to financial affairs so it’s entirely expected that they’ll be targeted.
“Free money!” and all that.0 -
You need to talk to someone about it, it could prevent someone else getting duped.0

Ring the bank first thing in the morning the number is on the back of your debit card, dont press any options just hold and someone will answer and help and advise you, we all make mistakes, the bank will help you to sort it x0

You explain what happened.
Was it done all online, I mean the communication with so and so getting you to be a mule, if done online you may have the chat transcripts stored on your pc.0 -

If your account is already under investigation then talking to the bank can only be a positive, as they will already be aware that money has been laundered through your account. By speaking up before you're confronted with that fact you are putting yourself in a far better position.0 -
We all make mistakes when we are young. No one's died because of your stupidity, you've just had your bank account suspended.
You've found the courage to post the details of your situation on here, and are reading the responses.
Find that courage again, and screw up that courage, together with every little bit of courage you can find anywhere else into one big ball, and then use that courage to phone the police / parents / bank.

I think I will, around a week ago I was the happiest guy around just received my acceptance letter to my fashion school and now this has knocked me down so hard and I miss being able to smile and laugh about things however the fraudster has said if I come clean about it that is how the banks and police will do me dirty etcHappyHarry wrote: »We all make mistakes when we are young.

Flobberchops' post #21 gives you a list of where to turn.I do not know where to turn anymore
And the scammers. But the fact that you are accepting blame is a good thing - it shows maturity.I have myself to blame
You have a bunch of thugs who have threatened you if you don't transfer money for them.I am scared of getting arrested
Your bank account has been frozen.
You can transfer no more money for these crooks.
Now, I don't believe for one minute that they are in this country and/or would take action for just £3000 (it's a lot to the likes of you and I, but not to serious fraudsters). But you appear to believe that they would. In which case, getting arrested right now seems like a good idea!
In any case, the sooner the police hear your side of the story and see your evidence the sooner they can start to establish where these bad guys are.
Also, if what you have done is arrestable, then you're going to get arrested for it. The bank know what's happening. I don't rate your chances of them forgetting to tell the police! You'll be seen in a better light if you tell them yourself.

Again, this has already come to the bank's attention. It won't end here. Your family will find out. Better that they find out from you than when the police come knocking on the door.
Could you email a link to this thread to someone you trust? Just say "This is me" or something similar. Would that be easier than telling them face to face?0
