Today, I found out the money my husband's been funneling from our bank account wasn't for drugs or gifts for another girl like I thought. It was for a guy he stupidly believed was a foreign diplomat, who supposedly needed to bribe officials in order to send us several million dollars. FML

Today, my husband fell for an online scam leaving us 1450.00 in the negative. We get paid tomorrow and most of our money is going to cover that debt. FML

Today, I found out my husband has been "cheating" on me with some girl from Russia that he has to pay for regularly. This explains why he never has any money, he's actually dumb enough to be scammed. FML

Today, I noticed fraudulent charges made in Florida that nearly drained my bank account. After reporting the fraud to the bank, I returned home from a weekend away to find a note from my husband. He and his mistress have run off to Florida to start a life together, apparently at my expense. FML

Today, I found out that my husband is an undercover crypto/NFT dipshit. I found this out when I looked at our joint account to find he had transferred a hell of a lot of actual money to some sort of BTC account with a dumb name. He now claims it's "the future", and I just "don't understand." FML

All that's missing from this story is a Nigerian prince, and this would be a classic.

The guy who made that scam got the idea from a game called "Mafia Wars" on Facebook...

Are you really that naive? The scam was around long before Facebook.

uhhh, then invented a time machine and posted it back in 1996- well before Facebook? as someone who has been on the Internet since 1993 I can tell you that scam has been around almost as long as the net. unlike Facebook which is just a recent blip in Internet history

I could never understand why people bother with these scams - they are so painfully transparent that I would not have believed anyone could ever have fallen for them, even 10 years ago. But now? Your husband lives in a dreamworld.
