Please help me to stop these people from stealing money from innocent people for rea****g out to people with precious pictures with sweet puppies, even a Facebook page that has grown so much since she's begun with me in the past month, claiming her old account was hacked. I was holding off until I made my last payment when I decided to get your Application to search them out and my son's and I are now devastated, but these criminals need to be stopped! ???? I've taken pictures of my Zelle payments to their different email accounts and I can also send you pictures of Micala Crabb 's Facebook account as well as some of our texts if that helps. But she will not send her phone number, address or any information to me when I've asked which seems very unfair when you're making a business exc****e.
