Damn bro, i feel your pain. I got scammed once before of 32k. All my savings, gone. Just started work few years and living frugally, eat economy rice everyday, use secondhand car while my colleagues all buy new cars etc, just to give it all to the scammers.

This is the hand u have been dealt with. Take it, learn from your mistakes, take some time to grief and move on. You can also talk to your wife. Lean on her for emotional support.

Once u have moved on, you will remember it, but u wont feel like eurhhhhhhh sakitttttt when u think about it.

They play the physo game. Once u panicked, they hook u in. Depends on the emotional state of the person also during that call. Many professionals, rich poor young old, type A,B,C all also kena.
