pregnant and no where to go

in december i heard about aidpage.com. i was living with my brother at the time ( 19 and 18 years old), but because of winter both our hours at our jobs were cut in half. we were making it but barely. so i decided to nievely post my situation on aidpage. a few days later i was contacted by a pastor who never got back to me, and a man named Sean Yanti. he explained his backround and hard life growing up, and he said he had been through what i was going through now, but now God has blessed him and he would like to bless others. he sent me a check for $4000, but i was to take $500 for myself, and wire the rest through western union to another "very needy" person. seeing as he was not asking me to send my money  but his, i thought nothing was wrong, so i did. i cashed the check through my bank and sent the $3500 off. he then told me he was sending another check to help me, but he wanted me to take out a small amount and send the rest. i asked why he didnt send the money himself to her, but he said it was not on his level and he would if he could and he was very sorry. once again i thought ok its his money. before i got the 2nd check, my bank called me telling me it was a fake check and i would have to pay the bank the $4000 back. i told sean this still thinking he was a good man and it was a mistake; he said to cash the second check and use it for my bank. b4 i did though i called the bank the 2nd check was from, for $4000 also, and it was fake. i didnt hear from him again. i know your thinkng how niave and stupid i must be, but i am only 19 years old and didnt know. i thought if he asked me to send my money that was fraud, but it was his. because of this, i have been unable to pay any bills including rent, so i have been evicted out of my home and no place wll rent to me, my car was taken away because i could not make payments,my phone was turned off, and i have been fired from my job because i have been unable to get there. i am pregnant and have no resources, i am unable to get a loan because this really screwed up my credit. this man really messed me up. anyway his name is Sean Yanti, and he has broken english.

 

 

so now i have no home, no car, no job, nothing. i am bouncing back and forth between friends houses, but being 5 months pregnant it is not good. i cant get my own place yet because i still owe my old house money due to the fraud. i cant get public assistance until after i have the baby.  i am in major debt and i just keep falling. i am asking for some help -  i am 5 months pregnant and now no one will hire me  becuase of training and then i will have to leave after the baby is born. i can slowly repay what is given, but i just need to get back on my feet, find a place to live for me and the baby and a car.

please email klight@wisc.edu

We received a similar check from Nigeria, some years back. Always call your bank for advice first.

I can't believe you cannot get public assistance until after the baby is born.  I just told someone else - get down to the local social services office right away.  They should provide you with emergency temporary housing & food stamps.  After the baby is born, take advantage of job training.  They should set you up with a housing allowance - even money for a phone.  Good luck.

I will give you the same advise I would and am having to give to my own 18 year old, 5months pregnant daughter.  It is time to step up to the plate.  I feel for what you have been through with the fraud thing....but it is all a part of being a "grown up".  Often, grownups are also taken by a crook and left destitute.  But they aren't online usually begging for help.  They pick themselves up by the boot strapps and hold their heads high and move forward.  That is what becoming an adult is all about.  Learning how to overcome & adapt.  It's time for you to stop being scared...square your shoulders...and make some changes.  It may take you a little bit to get the bills paid off but .... they will get paid off.  If you want them to be.  It's the difference between being "INTERESTED" in getting things back on track....or being "COMMITTED" to it.  When you're interested in getting something done, you do it only when the circumstances permit.  But, when you're committed to do something....you accept NO excuses...only results.

Good luck to you and your small blessing.

I am so sorry to hear of your situation. I am so afriad of getting taken advantage of also. I think we are more inclined to believe in others when we are most vulnulable  also. I have just heard of this site and made a posting myself see Richie1. I would try to help you but I am alone, no money and hungry myself. I may not even be able to get back with you because I will have my utilities turned off by tomorrow I think. I do pray the rosary at night so  I will include you in my prayer..Good luck and God Bless..Richie
