<prompt> Human: As above, Im a 17 yo male and have a heart beating out of my chest, Im honestly crying as I am posting this. I deposited the check for a stranger for 1000 dollars, and my bank only allowed a 15th fraction to be processed. Me being the nice dumb ass I am, I helped the person out and gave them the 200, they agreed to meet me later. This was earlier today, and to reiterate, Im terrified. Should I ask my parents for help, I am extremely scared and would really appreciate some sort of guidance.EDIT: Thank you for all the input everyone.EDIT 2: Again thank you for the help everyone. Ive recuperated and told my parents about the situation. My mother was extremley toxicnothing out of the norm, but my father scolded me, but ultimately helped me out of my rut. I contacted the bank and so did he, it seems as if all is well for now. I hope to be a member of the sub and set myself up so not only this doesnt happen again, but I prosper. Again, thank you everyone.Assistant: You just lost 235Human: Damn.. do you have any advice as to what I should try to do right now? The scam took place maybe 201hr ago  <response>: Call the police and see if they are willing to arrest the guy when you tell him you have the other 800 and want to give it to him.
