My dad recently “invested” with these guys over the phone, he’s invested 3.3k aud and i have 0 clue the process they went through, apparently its grown 300% which is the most obvious scam and despite me telling him to not to do it hes done it anyways. He has 0 clue how to even use his phone and I’m not familiar at all with crypto, but theyve sent him some kind of balance in a onchain crypto app, this is also sus to me as they were attempting to get him to deposit eth into their acc to claim which i did manage to talk him down from doing. The balance says 8k USD although the 0$ sign underneath makes me think otherwise and theyve just named the token or currency to USD to trick him. It’s an ERC20 token and I’m wondering if its possible to try and claim it in hopes it isnt actually fake, i connected the onchain to a new crypto.com acc but its asking for eth as a network fee. Should i even bother trying or just give up completely and tell him to contact his bank to get that 3.3k back?

I broke up with her just over three months ago now, we were together for just under 2 years and got together during highschool. Our entire relationship was pretty toxic, there were constant arguments almost every fortnite, the littlest things blew up and it was always like stepping on eggshells which was exhausting considering the amount of time we spent together even online, there was no respect for any boundaries, it took 9 months for her to stop talking about how hot other guys and celebs were despite me telling her I was not fine with it, I'm still frustrated with myself for dealing with her shit then, it'd ruin every moment. When I took her on her first date? Suddenly she mentions how hot Jason Momoa was in the movie she saw. Brought her gifts and flowers mid school for her birthday? Starts talking about another guy not even a minute after I see her. I decided to be an asshole and do it back once, got ostracised by all her friends and got called a cheating asshole for bringing up a chick from when we were both watching the new squid game lol. She also loved playing the victim, if I was upset at her for the shit from before, suddenly I'm slut shaming her? Every time we got into an argument? I apologised and she'd talk about how she SH'd sometime during it, fucking mental. I don't mean to ostracise someone for mental health, but at what point can I say it's ridiculous to SH over a fucking one night small argument over something awkward or miscommunication then show it to me to guilt trip? All of our mutuals obviously also saw the bright bandages on her hands and wrists and I had to dismiss them or explain "its complicated" every single time, when I say something small I mean small too, once over me not wanting to call for 2 days straight. And the amount of jealously that relationship caused me, holy fuck I wanted to blow my brains out (/j), a fucking boy bsf that never knew boundaries and I begged her to block, hiding her phone every instance she had, random guys on the lock-screen that she "apparently told me about", I know for certain she never cheated irl at least since her mums fucking insane and use to lock her up like Rapunzel but I have no clue what happened in some random DM's and I dgaf for finding out. It's insane she complained to me that "idk how you have trust issues I've been being a perfect girlfriend and I try so hard", as if it wasn't only 2 months after 9 months of pure misery. I tried to break up with her a couple times, and the thing I blame myself for the most is not having the balls to commit to it because it hurt us both every time I'd say "maybe we should have a break or idk if this is working" just for the same circus show to go on the next day. She also never put in effort, tmi but the only time she only gave-a-fuck or tried to "do something for me" was sex, either online or in person and it felt degrading, I'm huge on reassurance and gift-giving, I got her a bunch of jewlery, always got her flowers and handmade a lot out of origami, I handmade her a jewlery box with wood and decorated it with velvet, cushions and a exterior flower design, she got me a poster for a show I reposted once and made me a paper-origami chatterbox thing from a tiktok trend she wanted to do lol. I once wrote her a whole a5 book of things I loved about her, experiences we had, what to remember me by, she decided to write me one back... and used chatgpt to print the sentences and glue them on. I did eventually have enough and leave her though, we got more and more distance over grad, I was starting university, she was working full-time, we both stopped giving as much of a shit and only ended up every messaging once a day just to say good-morning, the last time I saw her in person was Christmas. Breaking point was when she ghosted me on my birthday, I already was building up to being sick of her and the relationship and removed my birthday off snap so she wouldnt get the notif unless she had her own calender, guess she either didnt give a shit or really didnt give a shit lol, I left her the next day after work and blocked her on everything, told her I'd leave her unblocked on my number incase she had an emergency (genuinely just because I thought she might khs).

Fast forward current day though, I stalked her socials a few times, just unblocked and blocked her right after, I wiped my posts and highlights clean to a blank slate. She tried adding two of my friends who used to be friendly (side note that every single one of my friends hated her guts and wanted me to find better, even our old mutuals hate her now because of some separate drama within their own group) with her but they told me and rejected her request, that's also how I found out she had a "secret insta account". Her last two accounts got banned and she never made a third and told me "she doesn't need an acc", when my friends told me she added them on insta and if it was her account however, I saw the date made on that account was from 2 months before I left her, that was still fresh from the break-up too so it stung a little, also saw she had the guys I told her to unadd on her followers. She contacted me once saying her dog died and thought I might like to know, told her I was sorry and he lived a good life at least.

I went out partying and clubbing with a large group of my mates the other night for one of their 18ths, few hours in and some drinks when my phone dings. It's her. She say's she saw me 40min ago around the area we were in and that she "thought she was over me but she isn't" and that she was crying, told me to have fun with her friends then told me to come see her one last time for reassurance or closure or whatever. I told her I don't think we should see each other, she begged me harder, I told her I was already too drunk and omw home already, dead silence followed. I spent the rest of the night out but it ruined my mental, I went radio-silent no contact with her just to get over her, I threw out some shit I had from her, the other things like some lego lost all sentimental value, but fuck did hearing from her again hurt, she talked the same way and begged me the exact same way she used it, I don't think I couldve even handled going to see her. It's two days later now and I'm still thinking about her, I went to a second party last night for yet another mates 18th and the only way to forget her was to get absolutely fucking hammered asap.

I hate being reminded about her, from my managers shitty perfume that she also wears, to whenever her favourite songs we used to share come on, from movies and reels I watched, to sitting up late at night thinking what if just one or two things were different? What if I won't meet someone I love as her much as her, what if the next person is worse than her? As much as I want to say I hate even the concept of her now, I really did think she was the sweetest and most beautiful thing I'd ever met.

Rant over, I had my mate block her number from my phone also, so here's hoping for at least another 3 months of silence.
