Your story remind me the series of "hustle".. a British series.. a very good series i suppose... but, in the series, the do con job as for their living, but choose their target carefully... since their first con rule is.... "never con an honest man..".. huhuhu...

is a good lesson, is a good story experience that me my self would most probably fall into and i can't bear the losses... good for you you can still survive..

as for every one else, spread the news, alert every one that we know. This amount is still quite 'small' to acknowledge the conman as a 'pro'... but is a big loss to the victim....

thanks again bro for the story....
