I've lost everything to an online scam!

Aim

I need to support my children as we've been left with nothing and now can't go on our family holiday

I'm a single mum to 4 children aged 15, 12,7 and a baby who is just 16 weeks.

About 1 week ago I applied to an advert on FB claiming I could earn some extra cash watching videos on TikTok and YouTube I thought what a great way to get some extra funds so we can have an extra special time on our upcoming short family holiday.

Unfortunately the scammers were very convincing and got me to sign up to various things and watch lots of videos and assured me that my commission was increasing. When I reached task 20 I needed to make a small deposit to get my commission released, that's when all my funds were taken.

The bank have tried getting the £1500 back but unfortunately can't.

My world has been ripped apart and as a mum I feel like a failure as I've lost everything, my mental health has been affected massively and I don't know how to tell them we can't go away now

Anything will be appreciated even just £1

Many thanks for reading
