Still being accused

[betty1958]

I got an email from this man still accusing me of using his credit card. He is claiming that I told him that I used his credit card to make an online purchase. Said that he would like his money back. Told me that his friend across the street is a police detective and his friend told him that he would have me put in jail of where I live at. I checked it out and there is no one in that departement that lives across the street from him. As God as my witness I did not do this to this man. This man has made me so upset that I have been sick to my stomach for the last couple of days.
I cannot hardly eat, I have bad headaches. I asked him why he was doing this to me. He didn't answer me back.
I don't know why he is even doing this to me.
I really need prayers right now.
Betty

If he keep falsly accusing you of things that is illegal and you can tell him if the harrassment doesn't stop you'll take action. Before going that far pray about it though and know all your options. May God guide you on what to do.

Betty, You need to take action. First, I think amie may be able to help you, so PM her. She can at least run this past her brother.
Secondly, if the sheriffs office is not pursuing this harrassment, I do not know where you live, so I do not know the laws there, but I would also contact the district attorneys office.
If those things do not work, you may be able to obtain his ISP and contact them and let them know what he is doing, also once you know exactly who he is, if you do not already, you may very well be able to obtain a restraining order, so that if he continues to harass you, you can have him arrested for that.
Talk to amie though. This may, I am not sure, be an FCC matter also. You may also try contacting the Phone company too. That seems like a very long shot though.

I am just going to let the local authorities in that man's city handle this. If this man goes in and files a report on me I will get a lawyer, take him to court and sue him.

>> This man has made me so upset that I have been sick to my stomach for the last couple of days

That is why I told you that you should talk to the police and get some free advice. Chances are, all he could do is take you to civil small claims court. If he loaned you money as he claims and you refuse to pay him back, that is civil not criminal. There is no deptors prison in America.

He would have to prove his case in court, and then the worst they could do is garnish your wages, if he was able to prove his case. Check it out. Thanks, JohnR7

Also if he sues you, you can counter sue him. You are a lot better off with a lawyer in court. In theory you can go to court without a lawyer, but it does not work out very well, unless the other person also does not have an lawyer.

He didn't loan me any money. He is accusing me of using his credit card to make a purchase online for $112.42. He is also accusing me of saying that I told him that I had used his card. I never touched the man's card, I didn't use the man's card period. I am now waiting to see if the local authorities contact me about this matter. If they do I will get one of the best lawyers and I will sue this man for what he is doing to me. This man cannot continue to get away with this. For him to sign a false statement against me he will probably be looking at charges for that as well.
In court he will have to pay my lawyer, his lawyer and any court costs. But I know I will win this case if it goes that far.

This sounds like a money making scam. I imagine if you contacted a few hundred people in this way at least a few would 'refund' the money.

Don't worry about it. Don't give him any money. Do what you can to get his phone number (caller ID/trace) and his ISP (email address). Tell him you have reported him to the police.

Don't stress out; if you're innocent he can't get anything from you. It is almost certainly a scam; the fact that you are responding so strongly is why he hasn't given up. You're letting him manipulate you.

 

[betty1958]

I met this man online and in person, the one who is accusing me of using his credit card. Yes I was at his house one weekend, yes I did use his computer but only to check my mail but no I did not make any online purchases.
As God as my witness I did not do this at all. But this man is saying that I did and he is going as far to say that I even told him that I had used his card and that I would pay him back the money for the purchase he is claiming that I had made over the internet. I also know for a fact that this man used his own credit card to buy us dinner and said even though it was his house money he would replace it later and then he went to rent some video games and movies and used his card. So that would have came to $112.42 all together.I think he is having money problems, probably about to lose his house and he is looking for a scapegoat, me.That is my theory. But if he keeps this up I will see him court. Betty iamblessed43@yahoo.com

 

[betty1958]

Since I have already talked to the sheriff's dept in his city about the credit card situation, should I call his bluff and inform this man that I have contacted them?
Would it do any good at all? Betty iamblessed43@yahoo.com

 

[mac_philo]

I wouldn't bother with a lawyer at this point. If his story is accurate then this is a case of unauthorized credit card use. His cardmember agreement almost certainly stipulates that he must report such misuse to the company, and it probably stipulates that he is not responsible for any such charges. I would break off contact and let him make the next move. I would say, almost certainly, there won't be a next move.

Of course, I'm assuming you're the one telling the truth.

 

[betty1958]

I know I am telling the truth. I would never use anyone's bank account or credit card. I have a 13 yr old daughter to raise and think about. I would never do something stupid like that. That man is lying and he knows he is lying.
His lies are about to catch up with him.
I resent anyone on here that is thinking that I am lying about this. I thought when one of God's children is being attacked and accused of something they didn't do, we were supposed to pray for that person.

 

[mac_philo]

Cut off contact with him and do not worry about it. The man is a fool. Credit card companies require that unauthorized charges be handled by their own people. Most credit cards do not even hold you responsible for unauthorized purchases. This is a scam! If and when his credit card company contacts you, then you should contact a lawyer. Until then just realize that this man is not at all doing what he needs to do to gain restitution for his damages. Ignore him.

Good for you Betty! don't let him get the best of you! and if you any help...I am still here...with loving prayers!
