The woman never had any personal interactions with scammers prior to this experience. So for someone without any “formal” training, you gotta give it to Brittany, she’s certainly quick on her feet!

“Surprisingly, the authorities haven’t responded after I reported the scam,” Brittany said. “The only thing I’ve received are confirmations that my reports/complaints were filed.”

She said the reaction her thread has received was overwhelmingly supportive. “I had no idea my story would reach this many people. The amount of love and positivity has been truly incredible.”
