My Friend Conned Me Money This Is What I Did To Him To Recover It He Can’t Forget

Trust is a fragile thing, especially when money is involved. I learned this after lending a close friend a large amount of money to help him “solve an urgent problem.” He had convincing stories, clear promises, and even timelines for repayment.
Because we had known each other for years, I didn’t hesitate. That decision almost cost me my peace. Weeks passed, then months. Every time I asked about the money, there was a new excuse delayed payments, sickness, business issues.
Eventually, he stopped answering my calls altogether. That’s when reality hit me hard. I wasn’t just owed money; I had been deliberately conned by someone I trusted.
What hurt more than the financial loss was the betrayal. I felt foolish, angry, and helpless. Friends advised me to forget it and “take it as a lesson.” Others pushed me toward confrontations that could easily turn ugly.
Deep down, I knew reacting emotionally would only make things worse. I wanted my money back but without drama, threats, or trouble with the law.
