My friend we have known each for long, mysteriously turn to be a con and imposter. I have trusted him so much that I gave him a thousand dollar to buy something for me. I waited for a month with no reply, when i tried to call him his phone is off. It's now the third month but no notion of were he is about. I am now regretting that I shouldn't have trusted him. Can someone suggest to me what I should do next

If you cannot find him then I don't think there is anything you can do. How long did you know him? Where does he live?

@Kosgey ..You can report him to any police station and give some valid statement that you`re looking for him..You can post some notice to the public who might give some tips for you to find him. I`m sure there are kind hearted person who might give you some notifications

Sorry to hear that. I was conned by my best friend too, 20 years ago. She told me her mom needed money for surgery, I lend money to her but she vanished 2 months later. I was disappointed when I found out that she lied to me. Take it as a lesson to learn

I'm sorry you had to go thru this. It is hard and hurts when it with someone you think you know well enough to trust. I'm not sure if there is much you can do about it. Sounds like he might have taken off. Hard lesson to take thou.

Wow, that's a big amount! If you know his identity, you can tell the authorities about him to get your money.

@Kosgey welcome. Take care next time not to loose $10000!!!!

Hi, My best advice would be to slowly let yourself cool down, and once time has passed, try not to scratch an old wound, because it will hurt even more. Forget the money, you will probably never get it back. Say that you donated it to charity... There is an old saying; if you want to destroy a relationship with someone - anyone, friend or relative - lend them money or borrow from them. It's a sure, and the fastest, way to become enemies.

Maybe he skipped town. Who knows though what happened. Perhaps he was being criminal or maybe he was just stressed so much couldn't deal with telling you his situation. For a lot less some I talked to told me once where the person I entrusted was located. Perhaps someone knows him?

I suggest you to forgive him because strong people never take revenge, you can teach him a lesson with morality.
