All my life-saving money has been scammed, what else can I say?

Due to poor conditions, I had no choice but to leave my hometown and work outside. Today marks the complete three months since I left. I chose a project with no base salary, and due to my limited abilities, I haven't earned a single penny and have taken many wrong turns. Consequently, I had to ask my elderly parents for help.

Using their reputation and the family's property in the village, my parents borrowed 300,000 RMB from the elders in our village. The company doesn't accept RMB because large amounts can't be transferred via Alipay or WeChat. Through a contact named Xiong Er from the former special zone Jiuzhou, who was introduced by a brother named Feike, I managed to exchange currencies. Honestly, my initial impression of him was quite good, as we had exchanged RMB, Hong Kong dollars, Alipay, WeChat, and even 40,000 USD once, which he transferred to me the next day.

Because of this trust, I really trusted him. Then, on December 15th and 16th, I went to the counter to deposit RMB and exchange it for USD with him. After transferring the money, he said he would recharge it to Alipay and it would be frozen for 7 days, asking me to wait. I believed him and explained the situation to my company.

The management understood and asked me to stay in the dormitory for the time being. A week passed, and on the 23rd at noon, I contacted him. He told me his friend wasn't responding to his messages and that the money was with his friend. Since the money was with him, I had no choice but to play dumb and endure the frustration, as he wasn't replying to my messages.

I realized that I wouldn't be able to get the money back, and I couldn't swallow this bitter pill. (I reported it to the police, but you won't be in trouble. I need to return to the local area to file the case, and I can't go back now, so don't worry.) Everything has its cause and effect. I have deceived friends around me and good bosses who have treated me well. There is a reason for every crime, and I admit my faults. I also hope you will face the consequences you deserve.
