How my account when from $400 to Negative $2000 Overnight

My name is Alexander Walker and I am a 19 year old student from Baltimore Maryland. My story goes as follows:

Have you ever believed in something even when it was too good to be true? Well last week, I was approached online by a self proclaimed "financial guru" that told me that he could flip the $400 I had into $2000. I was a little skeptical at first, but then he started showing me bank statements showing "proof" of the multiple flips he was able to execute. It took two days to convenience me, but he finally did. You see, when your desperate, you put yourself in unnecessary predicaments. During the two days of convincing me to give him my information, I though of all the expenses it would take to move to Philadelphia and how I could use the money as a nice little nest egg. "What the hell" I told myself, "Whats the worse that could happen?"

Two days later, I check my bank account to see what had happened and what do you know...all of my money had magically disappeared. Not only did all of my savings disappear overnight, but they were somehow able to put my account in the deep negative. A cold shudder ran through my back. All of it...gone.

So what happened after that? I called my bank trying to set everything straight, but there was absolutely nothing that they could do to fix it. I got scammed and that was that. I tried playing with fire and got burned. You live and you learn.

This whole experience has been one to remember. I learned that if something looks too good to be true, don't fall for it. Be smart with your money, and if you need help ask for it. That is why I'm reaching out to you guys. If you guys could help support my work on Steemit, I would appreciate it. It would mean a lot to me.

I am also trying to start a Go Fund me so I can afford to still move on the 1st of August. I'm going to post the link in the description below and pray that this gets noticed. Until then I will still be posting poetry on my page and using the funds to make sure I move on time.

Please please please upvote and reesteem this message. Donate if possible. It would mean the world to me if you did....

Thank You

Alexander (Tru Motiv) Walker
