Agra gem scam

Darwish · Jun 24th, 2007, 03:46

I got scammed in another way. I got into good contacts with a guy from Haryana. We were making planns about how to setup a real working business. I left India that time.
During more than one year time we spoke about the possibilities of doing business and i got so many ideas. Once i came to him back I found out that he wanted to get around 50.000 Rs from me and that he wasn't at all willing to do any cooperation. But it took me months to find out his real intentions. Happily He didn't get this much money from me and the little money i borrowed from him I get back as he gave me checkues. This just openen my eyes about Psychological terrorism.

You needed to pay the price for being so naive.
