Hello everybody! My younger brother just opened his copy of Violet and has fallen in love with the game. It’s his first real Pokemon experience (besides a little bit of let’s go pikachu) but I wanted to surprise him with a shiny Koraidon or Moraidon on his birthday next week. Unfortunately I missed the mystery gift event for the shiny guys a few months back, and was wondering if anyone on here would be willing to trade?
Well as the title states I have just lost half of my life savings due to someone being able to log in to my Hard Rock Sports betting account. I’m 26M and consider myself a casual gambler, usually putting down $50-70 on big sports events or a casual $5 on my favorite team on Sundays, but this past week I arrived home from my vacation and checked my email to see that someone had deposited two separate amounts of $25,000 and $15,000 each from my linked bank account and then placed bets on various tennis matches and a hockey game, only to immediately cash out. I asked everyone in my family if they knew anything about it, to which each stated they didn’t even know I had an account. Whoever got into my account had added their account as a withdrawal method and then promptly deleted it after transferring whatever was left from the losing bets into their account. I have contacted hard rock, my bank, and even went in person to speak to my accountant who have all said they can’t do anything about it since the terms and conditions state the money was wagered.
I am heartbroken, angry, and just confused as to why someone would do this. This is money I had saved for graduate school and finally being able to place a down payment on a home with my partner. Luckily I still had a CD account with around 45k in it, but now that is all I have left to my name. Coming from a lower class family, this is something I was so proud of and now have to readjust future plans pretty heavily, withdrawing applications from some graduate programs out of state….. AMA!
