As Soon As Her Sister Told Her That She Was Going To Use Her College Money To Help Some Guy She Met Online, She Told Their Brother, Who Stepped In To Stop Her From Getting Scammed, And Now Her Sister Is Furious
A 19-year-old girl has a sister a year older than she is, and her sister just told her that she’s actually dating a guy that she met online.
Apparently, this guy told her sister that his mom and dad are kicking him out of their house, and he’s going to be homeless.
Her sister thought it would be a good idea to pull money out of the college fund their mom created for her to help this guy out financially.
“I was instantly alarmed as this is a common scam, and even if it wasn’t, this guy being kicked out of his parent’s house is still concerning about his character, especially since they never even met IRL,” she explained.
“I failed to convince her not to do it and begged her to at least let me tag along from afar when she withdraws the money and goes to meet him. She said yes.”
So, she and her sister went to the bank together, and she was horrified when her sister asked to withdraw $6,000.
She started getting hysterical as she pleaded with her sister not to take out that much money and fork it over to some guy she doesn’t really know at all.
Her sister didn’t listen and proceeded to get $6,000 in cash. Her sister then said she was directly going to meet up with this guy.
Eventually, her sister got so fed up with her screaming to stop that she told her she couldn’t come with anymore and that she would be meeting up with the guy by herself.

As her sister hailed down a taxi, she tried to prevent her sister from getting inside. She didn’t manage to do that, though, so she just got in, too, and called their mom and brother from the cab.
She filled her family in on what her sister was about to do, and her brother told her to give him their location because he was on his way to intervene.
“My sister was absolutely mad and said I was horrible for doing this to her when I know how much she hates both mom and bro and doesn’t trust them,” she said.
“She also said I had no right to interfere even if she was scammed or harmed. She then stopped the taxi and ran out, and growled at me not to follow. I ignored her and kept following when my bro in his car honked at us. We both turned back, and when I looked back again, my sister had started running while he got down from the car, and we both chased after her. In the end, we caught up. My bro told her he’ll be following her all the time until he sees this guy, and he will get him to back off.”
Her sister began sobbing while accusing them of being crazy. They managed to get her to go home immediately, and once they were all inside, her sister went to her room and slammed the door right in her face.
Her sister has refused to speak to her, so she struggling to determine if she handled things in the right way. Her mom has mentioned to her that her sister will get it as she grows up and that she did her an enormous favor by stepping in.
She can’t help but feel awful, though. Do you think she did the right thing in preventing her sister from giving a random guy she met online $6,000?
