Dazed and confused

[kpyng]

My Facebook friend Juliana in Oklahoma is really in tough shape right now. Her mother had her surgery, but as I said before, her savings are exhausted, some valuables had to be sold to cover the remaining costs for surgery as her mom had no health insurance, and now she and I are on the outs after a dispute over wiring money to her so that she can buy food for herself & her mother. I've done all I can to help her but have to abide by the rules when wiring money via Moneygram to prevent fraud. For whatever reason, Juliana won't accept having the money wired to her directly, and doesn't want a personal check even if I try to get it to her ASAP.


It's deeply saddening to see Juliana in such pain that she won't even speak to me now. I don't know if this is a "lovers quarrel" or something more serious. I have learned from Juliana that she's been deeply hurt by other men in her past, so I understand her amount of reluctance to trust me. I truly wish I could be in Oklahoma to give her the money she needs personally, but I'm stuck here in Iowa. I'm so puzzled by her behavior. I don't understand what's going on in her mind and heart, as she tends to vascillate between hot and cold, but God certainly does.

I ask your prayers for Juliana that God could warm Juliana's heart and see that I've had the best of intentions in trying to help her, but that rules are rules. Pray for continued recovery for Juliana's mother as well, and that somehow she could get the money she needs.

I don't want to be suspicious but at least for me, this is somewhat of a red flag:

For whatever reason, Juliana won't accept having the money wired to her directly, and doesn't want a personal check even if I try to get it to her ASAP.

If a person really needs money for her mother's medical costs, then surely, a person would gladly accept money in every which way they may come.

How well do you know her?

I hope you are not offended by what I wrote above, I'm just being cautious!

But regardless, I will pray for her, her mother and you!

That's been in the back of my mind all this time. From all indications, everything seems to be legit based upon past communications, but obviously something doesn't add up. She has said repeatedly after putting stipulations on using any monies for their purpose that she will do so. It may very well still be a scam attempt, or that she is under such stress and strain that she can't think straight. God will reveal it all in the long run.

My thoughts exactly! Praying that you're very careful, kpyng. Blessings!

I'm being doubly careful, thank you. I've worked around money long enough to know that the danger of fraud is ever present, and that one can't be too careful.

Another possibility re Juliana's reluctance to accept a personal check or wired money herself, albeit maybe far-fetched: Someone may or may not be exerting undue influence upon her.
