Looking back: it was very suspicious that he asked for 400 more, clearly he was trying to yoke more out of me. And the caller id of the rental car is just “rental car company”. And it’s also a common technique for people to advance some form of payment/ valuable to you and then ask ur for more help. I don’t really know what have gotten into me to give him so much amount of cash. I guess I’m a pretty gullible softball. Irl, when ure talking to scammer they will leave u with no time to think and they would have a somehow trustworthy charisma(I thought about should I really pay him, but the sense of obligation took control of me). As soon as I get back home, I search for his contact card and his brand. The card wasn’t there, the brand of google is followed by legit question mark. And I read articles and Reddit bout ppl from all over uk USA, Australia suffering from similar scams with varying amount of loss.
I just didn’t know wut to do and was doomed by the fact that I lost the living expense for my remaining two months here. I called the police and am still waiting for them to call me for a report and also report the the cra(?). If you are reading this, please do not trust anyone so easily and do not give anyone money or in advance.
PS. He goes by the name of Anthonio D. from Milano, he drove a black sedan. Anyone have any advice to getting some money. I am thinking about just fasting and buying less grocery 😢
