9:22 That's a new one - Husband tells OP she's being 'too emotional' and in the next breath, tells her she's not emotional enough?
The thing is, a lot of women in prison are probably somebody’s mother. Motherhood does not exempt you from the law.
I love how OP “warns” us not to click on stuff when she not only clicked, she entered her bank account info.
Putting in her bank account info was extremely stupid. However lots of people aren’t very technologically literate and fall victim to scams like this, especially old people. Phishing scams don’t even require you to enter information sometimes, all you have to do is open a text or email and just click the link and it can automatically download malware onto your device. If a text or email looks suspicious don’t even open it, just delete it.
It's called learning from your mistakes
Sounds like someone put in a remote desktop application, giving the hacker full access to the device. Bank account number would technically never had to be given directly to the hacker.
It's a live and learn situation. You'd be surprised how many people don't know these things and innocently act in the heat of the moment. Yeah, you can call them idiots, but try to take into account how much technology has changed over the past decade alone.
Darwinism at its finest 😂
Damn. Siccing a hacker on her? I’d be super pissed.
Id get another one to drain every single cent in that account
15:29 “better to just forgive…”
The MIL committed what could be considered a major crime! This is not a case for forgiveness.
Ya this reads like a bad soapbox.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences.
OP is NTA for wanting to see MiL getting punished by the law. I get the husband is attach to his mom despite not being close but he is being too emotional. The whole "should of been angry" toward the hacker mom and hacker boy is pointless. If MiL didn't hired that hacker, she would of hired someone else instead. In fact the hacker mom is really being courteous by visiting OP to apologise!
Even if it’s his mother that doesn’t mean she gets a free pass for bad behavior.
Why would a hacker accept a paid job to steal $40k, instead of just taking the $40k for himself? OP even said the MIL didn't have "that kind of money", so I doubt she could be paying the hacker nearly as much.
Op is lucky that it wasn't a hacker AND a hitman 😒
Great ending. But fr, how'd she fall for something like that? I mean, texts and emails asking you to update account info, or else the account will be locked, with a sus link to boot!?! How could someone be so dumb...
These story getting wild evey day
So, husband is going to spend $$$ on a lawyer to defend his mother from stealing from his fiancee? Noooo, mil is in desperate need of therapy. Wife needs to dump him!!! Definitely a boy mom.
OP should never have married her husband. He is delusional and it's not "A rough phase " he's a hypocrite and has a toxic attachment to his mother.
Acessory to the crime? He LITERALLY did the crime!
Good on OP and her husband.
Did they sign a prenup is what I’m thinking 🤣 , if she could have 40k disappear from her bank even though she’d been checking and paying for the wedding then she got money money 💀 I’d definitely protect that
This woman is the queen of the doormats
Bro there was an 80 year old on death row
Although op is in the right I do not respect a woman who doesn't care about her husband's feelings and cares only for herself and well-being
Early twenties is not a kid
You don't know a lot of early-20-year-olds, do you...
They should rememver that they are not on their teenage phase anymore. Please grow up.
I would have a divorce anyways, also i would never forgive MIL.
Update 4: My MIL died in prison?
How is it that all these MILs are horrid to their children's partners? My boyfriend's mom keeps asking him if I'm with him everytime he goes home, and is actually upset when I'm not there, she's even started telling me to call their home my home because I'm there so much and we get along so well. His father and I spend hours talking about everything and nothing, and even longer raving about cars and F1. My parents love my boyfriend. My mom and him are practically best friends, and when my dad comes over to visit me for work or when we call, more often than not, one of the first things he will ask me is if my boyfriend is there and if he can see/talk to him. I feel really bad for the partners who have been nothing but nice and kind, and get rewarded with horrendous in-laws
So I think the hacker is just a kid how want to make money for his mom and brothers and the MIL is just evil and want to brake everything what make her son happy
Im guessing mom didn't want to lose her son to a woman so she did the crazy thing. No excuse but just an explanation as to why.
The hacker is a 20 year old man, not a kid. If he were dealing drugs to support himself people wouldn't call him a kid. I doubt his mother realizes the extent of his hacking (if this story is true).
refrain from clicking an unknown link should be textbook. even my mom calls me about links she receives and i tell her to just delete it. don't even open it
What do you want your mirage or revenge ? Take your pick because if you fight this it’s going to create resentment and you will loose him
😂 yeah cuz a hacker just can do that willy nilly
... but they can...
She provided her account information over a link. Those scams happen ALL THE TIME. She was just stupid enough to fall for it.
Dude, I got 3 texts, with links, asking me for s*x, saying that my Facebook has been hacked, and telling me that I need to 'update my bank account information' FROM THE SAME D*** PHONE NUMBER!
I work in cybersecurity and you'd be surprised how much a hacker can do if you give them access to your phone.
I don't think you realize it, but this kind of stuff is EXTREMELY easy to pull off, haha. All it takes is creating a website or, even easier, a webhook, then you just copy paste the text and code from an official site, send it to someone that's either gullible or just not tech savvy and that's it. It doesn't take a genius, it doesn't even take a hacker to do it, infact, I'm pretty certain you yourself could do it if you'd pour like half an hour into figuring it out. It really IS that willy nilly, lol.
"he will be upset for a couple of days at least"
Girl. Given his mother's age, there is a high chance she will die in prison because you are angry.
That will be with him for the rest of his life and a blemish on your marriage.
This is one of those situations where being right and being morally right. Your choice is sate your anger or have a healthy marriage.
Also, asking for leniency doesn't mean the prosecution will be lenient. They may go for the throat even after the victim says "please don't". Putting in a good word will just mean not ruining your marriage.
The opposite is also true. Knowing your husband will either be emotionally devastated or happy that you attempted to lessen a major criminals sentence, is just as taxing on op as the other side.
If it were me, I would want us both to go NC with MIL. If he's unwilling I'm getting the marriage annoled!
fake story is fake
The one to blame here is the guy he should have listened to his mum and find someone younger fresher and more innocent
At the end of the day his mum is wrong of course but she worried about him about having kids about a woman innocent enough to not take such a revenge because yes his mum is almost elderly and forgiving for her husband’s sake would have been a better proof of love but past a certain age women and men can’t produce such big manifestations of love
Troll.
Ok but how much would you have to pay a hacker to transfer that money to you and not keep it themselves? Also tha hacker is in jail? Aren't most hacker son that caliber more available through the darknet? Sounds weird
MIL is dumb for taking money from OP and using the same account to send the money back.
If someone took money from my account i'd probably freak out and notice the same day. But taking 40k then someone gives 20 and offers another 20 if i do something when i know i'm missing the 40? that's way too suspicious even with a different account
Grudge or not, if I were OP, I'd want no contact whatsoever with that MIL.
Your husband has some parental issues. His anger towards you should be directed at his mother.
I guess he's in that situation where his head is messed up she ended up lashing at his wife.
Hot tip: If you get a link from an unknown number, _NEVER, EVER, _*_EVER CLICK IT!!!_*
And if you're told you'll face consequences if you don't click, then ABSOLUTELY DON'T CLICK IT! They're banking on your fear and panic to get you to click.
The fact that this even needs to be said to people who are old enough to internet is ridiculous. It boggles my mind.
@@SonofKalas22 That primal fear in your lizard brain is responsible. You are enjoying(or not) your day when you receive a text or call that puts you on high alert. Most aren't hardwired to go from mundane, dare I say boring, to increasingly concerning.
@@brighterphantom4530what are you talking about? What does fight-or-flight have to do with clicking links from unknown numbers? Scam texts ARE mundane.
@@SonofKalas22 When you are contacted out of the blue by apparently a group like the IRS, or your bank, most people's thoughts aren't "allow me to call you back on your official number", it is "this is serious, let's fix this as soon as possible" It's such an issue that these large agencies make it a point to have statements saying "we'll never ask you for your sensitive information" "we'll only contact you via this method, through this specific set of phone numbers or emails" and many others. This is not mundane.
Story lesson: if a message tells you to click on a link, DON'T. Especially if said message is a threat saying you'll face this or that consequence if you don't click.
that "stupid grudge" was a crime.
so people just have 40k+ sitting in their account and don’t notice if it’s missing?😭😭
it happened within a week or less. I don't know about most people but I don't feel the need to check my account every day
That’s why it’s really important to set up alerts on any kind of bank/money account you have, so you get notified of any transaction. If you spend a lot it might get annoying with the spam notifs but better safe than sorry
@@JoliPixyshe had notifications. Because they had access to the phone they could delete them
Probably minor opinion here, but I would get the MIL a second chance to prove that she is truly sorry and ceased the toxic behavior.
Sure, what she did was a little extreme (although not extreme as other MILs from other stories in this channel), but if she is really regret what she did, I think it would be far happier for oneself's mental health to not hold grudge forever and give a second chance. Otherwise, it would just be another depressing case similar to countless other stories on the internet where even the least and smallest of bad behavior would put you on the black list of "Forever Evil People With No Chace For Redemption" for some on Twitter!
He only hit me one time and he's really sorry. I need to give him a second chance so we can live happily. The MIL was able to go to such an extreme because she was never held accountable for the smaller things she did. The OP does not have to be holding a grudge to allow the legal system to hold her MIL accountable for breaking the law. Being a doormat and allowing someone to get away with stealing 40,000 dollars from you in an attempt to prevent your marriage would be far worse on mental health.
Uh, none of this makes sense. She committed a non-violent crime, is most likely not a flight risk, and they're going to hold her indefinitely in prison until the trial? A trial that is apparently very speedy? Where does she live? Is it a country with only 100 people in it? Because there aren't that many places where a jail can accommodate her pre-trial and the legal system can work that fast.
This looks very fake
Literally every story could be fake, wondering which ones are/aren’t isn’t worth the brain power
Man like…i do agree husband acted poorly…but…as someone who’s their father, the thought of losing your mother IS a scary thing.
MIL absolutely deserves what shes getting but…idk I at least think husband is trying to improve.
Dang! You got me with actual emotionally responsible adults.
I'm normally not one to scream fake story, but this one is like they weren't even trying to make it sound real.
First: Who on earth wouldn't notice 40k just disappearing? Even if you're making six-figures a year that's a LOT of money to just disappear over 4 days.
Second: The mother was someone knowledgeable enough to find and recruit a hacker, but OP was dumb enough to click a strange link and enter their bank info without thinking twice? Unless this story is 20 years old no one in this day and age is that dumb.
Third: The husband's response is so unbelievable. I don't care if it's your parent who did the crime, no one would believe someone could steal 40k and still have good intentions. The fact he wasn't was with OP to just send MIL to jail and move on is the biggest red flag for both the relationship and the story.
Fourth: Minor point, but the fact OP couldn't initially summarize "I clicked a suspicious link" and it took until the next update to clarify how someone got access to her account is super suspicious.
Normally I go into these with the assumption they're fake stories for Reddit clout, but the others usually have enough context to be semi-believable, this is just flat out fake.
Sounds like mommy wins
Or not; seems like they stay together
Ok Chatgbt ain't even trying no more, this story is just WAY too outrageous
Mil committed multiple felonies
Dumb op
OP, you aren't asking for a longer sentence. You are allowing for the average sentence. Unless you specifically asked for her to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Either way, NTA. Criminals should pay for their transgressions.
Shit, if MIL’s crime was a federal crime, and only a financial crime at that, she probably was sent to a low to medium security federal prison. Compared to a state prison, that shit’s a country club with bland food and jump suits.
You went over the top, she admit and felt guilty you clearly holding some animosity towards her. I would of divorced your ars
Honestly giving the hacker a pass because he had a rough life is absurd to me. Whole goofy story is absurd.
Here's a great idea with it she is older so she should have known better
Op is correct and the husband is correct
This story reeks of bullshit.
Just from the amount transferred instantly to saying the mother is in prison when she would be in jail. People go to jail before they are convicted then go to prison.
The person clicking a link and entering all her information into a random website.
Then this hacker’s mother showing up. That is witness/victim intimidation.
This whole story is bullshit.
Yep.
Unless a link or information about op was provided, just take that most stories in this channel are made up
the mother can plead insanity and stupidity
He's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
A 30 year old woman fell for 'update your info'? Geeze
I wouldn't marry into that family.
this isn’t how anything works ever
Sounds fake and written by a hindi
YEAAAAH
Sorry but fake story
You can do better
Bro, just divorce that freak and get a restraining order against both.
Everyone will get what they wanted: peace, a son without a wife, and a green pass to pick mommy's side forever.
Love the vids❤
I grew up in an abusive household and this is what I think could be happening from my point of view. The reason the mom was overly bold and thought that she could get away with this is because she has been able to her whole life. People like her are narcissist and very self serving. Whenever these people get caught or called out their unreasonable behavior and/or actions they usually have a sob story along with it. If that doesn’t solely work to drop the subject a break down occurs and the crocodile tears begin. Followed by a very vague and generic explanation that can never fully be explained. Here are some examples that I feel like that mom from OP story probably gave to people. One could be she felt like had to protect her son from OP because who could fault a parent for wanting to protect their child. Or another one could hear is I just panicked because I felt like you were going to leave me behind and I couldn’t take that thought. Many people would have compassion for a parent trying to navigate life once they become an open nester especially if the parent and child were close. However, when asked to elaborate, there is never any concrete answers to what would lead them to believe or feel this way. This is simply because there is none to be given since is all coming from them being selfish. All these steps are just tactics to lessen the impact of their actions so that there will be little to no consequences coming their way. If things still aren’t going in their way, they will try switch the narrative to turn others against the actual victim like family and friends. So now they can appear as the one that has been wronged and the other person just overreacted. Hopefully all that peer pressure will force the real victims to concede or crumble letting the real perpetrators save face. The reason the son change his tune so quick is that when he went to visit his mom she broke down. Gave him lame excuses so that he would feel bad causing him to back pedal. If he doesn’t recognize, wake up to these manipulation tactics, and get the therapy he needs to break this unhealthy cycle he will end up alone. The OP will always feel like second place to his mother and a breakdown of marriage will occur.
The answer is never “no” at first. It should be “whats in it for me?” If that doesn’t yield sufficient results, then the answer is no.
There is a old saying that goes like this you can forgive but never forget
What in the lord is this story
oh shit how tf am i this early
I'm early
The hacker should have known better. He is mature enough to know that hacking into people's bank account is like robbing a bank. He should get the book thrown at him.
Man really got put in rough spot
I'd get an annulment asap if possible, because if my partner is basically falterinig right off the bat it probably won't get any better, especially when his mom goes to jail. Maybe I jump the gun here, but I'm not sure how much the marriage is worth if you need counseling right off the bat after being married for only a few days/weeks.
Edit: So, he helped her out with a good lawyer, so unless they have seperate finances, OP is basically paying to lower the sentence of the person who tried to screw her over?
Lol he was an accessory to the crime... No, he was a co conspirator and the actual culprit of the most seriously criminal act of this whole fiasco.
I WOULD NOT have accepted that hacker’s mom’s apology. I would have acknowledged it, but never accept it. Poverty is not an excuse for crime. Many, many people came from modest means and never turn to crime. My parents were poor when they were young, and they never turned to crime. Poverty is not an excuse. #crimefamily.
But you know the saying, “Desperate times call for desperate measures.” The hacker was trying to support his mother and gone into hacking and doing harmless pranks on people’s exes. I am sure that if the MiL didn’t offer so much money, the hacker wouldn’t have accepted her offer.
@@elistewart3435 and now (if the story is true), he’s a felon with a lifetime of no opportunities and only contempt from others.
The kid could have found other ways to make ends meet. He chose crime. No sympathies at all.
@@elistewart3435so, by that logic, a person should be excused for contract murder because he/she was poor?
@@ColinsTravels Now, you see, there is a difference between murder and committing harmless pranks. Of course murder is inexcusable, but doing harmless pranks for some money is excusable.
@@elistewart3435 a harmless prank is more like giving someone the “loser line” when they ask for your number.
Hacking someone’s bank account on behalf of a person with bad intentions from the start is definitively not a harmless prank.
Its stupid that his OP husband even stay with this woman, she kinda feels controlling since she is taller and older... His mom messed up and going for jail.. at least OP could do wat her husband asking for it... Since OP got all her money and at the end of day she is stilll the only husband family.
I can already see her husband divorcing her or gonna catch OP cheating and leaving
So you’re blaming OP?
Tell hubby you put in a word, but don't do it. Tell him that you were told it was out of your hands. A lie? Sure. But who's going to know?
Do not encourage lying and toxicity in a mostly healthy relationship?? What the hell?
@@holyroman6541 What makes you think this situation is healthy? If you tell me you never lie to your partner to keep the peace, I am going to call you a liar.
@@jemase7931 Lying to "keep the peace" isn't healthy and can easily backfire in a few years time, maybe less. If you have issues in a relationship, you should rather attempt to work it out, else that likely isn't going to last if you're caught. I thought this was common knowledge
I think the mother-in-law installed some kind of RAT on her personal computer as per the hacker's instructions.
I am not transferring huge amounts of money a lot but transferring that amount of money takes way longer than “pulling out your phone and transferring the money”. So, I’m calling bullshit.
Imagine getting mad at your son's wife because she's older.
Also, WHO TF SUGGESTED DIVORCING TO OP?!? SHE VERY CLEARLY LOVES HER HUSBAND, AND HE LOVES HER, BUT WHO IN THE LITERAL F WOULD SUGGEST THAT?!?!
sorry but i would not be able to marry a man who’s mother would do that, and he didn’t agree to go at least low contact after.
Well she won because this isn't going to last if she doesn't forgive MIL he'll hold it against her if she forgives her MIL will keep trying
Am I being unreasonable if I say OP should leave her husband. He took his mother’s side which makes me think that’s a red flag because his mother stole money from his wife! His mother was definitely at fault! SMH 🤦🏻♀️
