Default Re: I was robbed yesterday for $9,000

The golden rule for not being scammed is :

Every time someone says "give me that amount of cash, and in return you'll get double/triple+ after an illegal business I will make", well EVERY time this is a scam !

There's no way a guy who could triple an investement is going to ask people he barely knows, he would ask a very close friend for that, or better just get a regular loan and keep the huge profit for himself. Why would he share his so juicy business ?

Secondly, the fact that it has to do with illegal business is for him to prevent you from going to the cops.

There is NO WAY that kind of deal exists in the real world.

For OP : If you don't know any tough/mean/mob guy, and don't want to be beaten up or get in trouble with justice, then don't do anything about him. Stay away from trouble. Don't get involved in a vendetta where the cops/the conman friends are coming to your home the very next day the guy has been beaten up.
Forget about your money, move on.
