Sorry to hear.


Presumably you used AppleCash ??


If so, those funds are in all likelihood gone forever; just as if you’d handed-over actual cash.


You should report it to the police.

I am beyond devastated. I thought I was talking to a friend, even knew personal things about me . I sent the money about an hour ago. I’ve been trying to find support number anything. Please somebody help me
