Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider?

Can I like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And if you're on mobile, you can even hit that hype button, which apparently really helps out.

I don't know if it does or not.

But let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

I'm today's first story is from a throwaway account from the True Off My Chest Sub Reddit and says

my fiancé was tricked and lost our down payment and savings.

My fiancé was selling his old mountain bike online.

Someone messaged my fiancé with an offer, and this person said they would send my fiance

the funds in advance and send their cousin to pick up the bike the next day. My fiance had promised me

he would only accept pickup in person, with cash in hand. But context and so this

post makes sense. In Canada, the main way and safest transferring funds done is through your

bank. It is tied to your bank account. You can only transfer what you have in your bank account

and even then there is a daily limit. It is also tied to your identity since it's tied to your bank

account. My fiancé told the buyer he would accept a transfer. This is where the scam started.

The buyer sent it but he accidentally added an extra zero to the amount. My fiance told the buyer

he would transfer it back since it was a mistake.

He told my fiancé he got locked out of his bank due to the mistake with the previous transfer.

So my fiancé should transfer it to his, the buyer's, cousin's account.

My fiancé did that.

I have no idea why my fiancé sent back the whole amount instead of the extra minus the payment

for the bike.
