USorry for bad english.
TL;DR – I 20M, paid my friend 20M , ₹12k and he lost it in a scam.
So this friend of mine is my childhood friend and was always there to help me whenever he can, money help, general help, he was always the first to help, once I asked him to pick me up from 25km away from home at around 1am (after concert), he came to help.
Today he asked if I had 12k , he needed urgently and said he’ll give me back in evening and he never took my money and then forgot about it, always paid back so I trusted him cause of all the years of friendship and help he had given me. Now he call me that he fucked up and need to meet me, I went to his home and saw all the chats where he sent money to some “REVIEW TASK” group, where you complete task like fake review and they pay you for that. He invested 1k and got 1.8k, then invested 3k and got 4.5k and at last he invested 5k where there was a FUCKING BONUS DEAL where if he pay 25k he could get 41k, he asked 12 from me and paid 13 and then the group asked him to pay 65k so in total he could get 1.5 lakh and if he say no his money will be gone and of course he could not pay 65k and in few minutes he was blocked (telegram).
I argued with him how could you fuck up this bad, my problem is my father don’t work, he’s I’ll and my mother is a teacher who earn 7k month and my father had saved up money that he is using for my college, I’m in 3rd year, my father checks my account every 10-15 days and transfer some money if I need now if he saw that 12k transaction he’ll get angry and I get that and I understand it’s my fault too but the condition of my family isn’t okay that we can manage a 12k loss, I’m searching for jobs but not getting any work from home or internship because at my shitty college (AKTU), I’ve to maintain 75% attendance and can’t get a NOC for internship until final year (yeah shitty)so I can’t leave college too, I don’t even have money to travel to my college, I can skip gym fee, I can skip eating outside but the thing is there no income, so even after a month I’ll still be in a loss and same goes for my friend. I’m feeling so sad and guilty cause I know how bad my family conditions are and I’m not scared of getting yelled at or beating, I’m sad that KNOWING MY FAMILY CONDITIONS, this blow is very big. I haven’t eaten all day cause of this and this regret is killing me.
₹12k = 136$, yeah it’s not much but for me that was my 6 months saving and we’re poor.
I can provide all the proof of transaction and chat if anyone need.
Any advice or help is much needed -
FYou are an idiot.
Your friend is a bigger idiot.
You both have learnt a lesson. The lesson cost 12000.
Why didn’t you ask what the money is for in the beginning? If he gave you an answer then you have another lesson about trusting what people say.
When you give money to someone, your relatives, your lifelong friend, be ready to never get it back. Only give what you can afford to lose and forget.
This sub can’t help you. Talk to your friend and tell him to return the amount little by little on a regular basis, like EMIs in India.

Uexactly, last yr in November I lent 50K to a random relative who said he’ll return it within a week. It’s Feb now 🙂 I’ve already made my peace with it but sometime later this year Im gonna confront that SOAB and try to get it back.
TLDR, Never lend your money to friends and family, no matter whatever the reason.-
UWhat worked for me is that I pinged them on WhatsApp, instagram, thrice a day, sent payment requests from phonepe/gpay. Also asked my mother, brother to ask him to pay me back, as I don’t have money, I would tell him that I don’t have rice at home, wheat, that I have not eaten because I le t money to him and always downplay like tell my relatives that I earn way lesser that my actual earning. They trust me as in their eyes girls can’t earn much

UThis seems to be a made up story. Someone with a family income of 7k is on reddit ????( Sorry for generalising, but I am getting a fishing feeling about this)

USorry to hear about this. Many educated and well earning people fall for get quick rich schemes. The loss is a lesson and there is nothing much u can do about it as fighting it is not that easy even in this age of tech.
Try to do some online jobs which are trusted and regulated and have offices in india to compensate for the loss. Educate your friends and family about such things so that no one loses any more money which is a small bit u can do.

ANobody gives you free money. Even your parents have expectations so how a telegram scamster would pay you money? Greed is a bad thing.
Don’t take any stupid step or gamble again to gain that money and remember that never lend money to anyone without knowing what they are doing with it.
How did you had money to go for the concert ?
