Scammed out of life savings….Please Help

Help Vera Gazzard Rebuild Her Life After a Devastating Loss

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

I am writing to you on behalf of my dear friend, Vera Gazzard. Vera, a 65-year-old grandmother, has always been a hardworking and resilient woman, running a short-stay holiday accommodation business in Australia. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, her business suffered greatly, and she found herself in a difficult financial situation.

In an attempt to secure her future, Vera was introduced to a business associate named Ben Hooper, who owns Melbourne Pawn Brokers. Ben convinced her to invest her life savings into a cryptocurrency platform, promising substantial returns. Unfortunately, this was a scam. Vera lost all her life savings—$100,000—and the impact of this loss has had a devastating ripple effect, costing her an additional $200,000 in missed opportunities and financial stability.

To make matters worse, after Ben Hooper, another unscrupulous operator named Carl Miller from Melbourne deceived Vera. Carl promised to recover her initial funds but instead took further money from her, dealing her a second blow.

Now, the banks have started to take legal action against Vera on her home loan, adding to her already overwhelming burden.

Vera is now in a dire situation. She is unable to pay her mortgage, buy groceries, or afford basic necessities like petrol. She can’t even buy birthday and Christmas presents for her beloved grandchildren. This has taken a toll on her mental health, leading to severe depression.

Despite her strength and determination, at her age, Vera has no means to recover from this financial disaster on her own. We need your help to get Vera’s life back on track. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping Vera cover her living expenses and regain her stability.

Vera has always been a fighter and a very hard worker. She raised her only child as a single mother, working 15 hours a day, every day, for most of her adult life. Without any support from her parents, family, or anyone else, she built everything through blood, sweat, and tears. Fifty years of hard work were lost in a heartbeat to these ruthless scammers.

Please take a moment to read Vera’s story, which was also featured in the Guardian newspaper in Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/dec/14/hyperverse-hyper-group-investment-scheme-lost-savings-ntwnfb

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Let’s come together to support Vera during this challenging time.

With gratitude.
