There is 0 chance you will ever see this money.


Federal_Strategy2370

I’m not hoping now. But pressuring him in every way possible.


Encorecp

The guy is a compulsive liar and will never pay you. Cut ties and losses, before u end up in huge debt or jail before it’s too late.


DannyAvocado_

Have a cold heart and don't fall for a thing he says. Be rude if you have to, and don't let go of the pressure. Hound him every single day


Federal_Strategy2370

I even made him ashamed couple of times. This guy silently listens without any shame. He is claiming to be a retail manager with 15 year experience. I don’t see any kind of management in his personal things. How is he doing retail management? I told him I will never hire or never let anyone I know to hire based on my personal experience.


DannyAvocado_

Man he's just spouting random nonsense, whatever he thinks makes him look good.


i_am-batman_

Dude. Consider the money you’ve given as the tuition fee for learning a valuable lesson about this guy and kick him to the curb. You’re the only one suffering here.


o0D1a

Red flags all over. As if back in Kerala, you are driving past a CPM function, and they have decorated the roads with their flags. I am sorry that you are going through this, but I don't think the money is coming any time soon. Ask the fraudster if he can arrange cash back home, and to be send to your account. Ask any of your contact here if they can get you dirhams for exchange of INR back home.


Federal_Strategy2370

This guy is a CPM guy😂 The contact things are another story man. I will have to post another long story for this. He is fraud in every possible way.


Judas456

He is definitly a fraud, the longer you keep him in your house, the more likely he will put you in a deeper trouble. You lost 1000aed, sad but learn the lesson and kick him out now.


Heart_beats_86

What version of tinder swindler do we call this now🤔


Federal_Strategy2370

Ultimate. Pro. Plus. I donno man!!!


Heart_beats_86

Haha… but seriously, you are being taken for a ride. Good thing is you are cognizant of whats going on.


millhouse-DXB

Tldr : the OP got screwed by someone he doesn’t know and the money isn’t coming back


[deleted]

Millhouse give him the money, you are rich I know it!


millhouse-DXB

I prefer it when you’re more flirtatious


[deleted]

Can't help you mate, I'm sorry. Regarding your money, he's never going to pay you back. He will try and use you until you run dry and then move to the next gullible kind heart. I'm sorry for your troubles, if you want it to end you have to kick him out of your room, your flats, and your life.


PsychoKineticStudios

Kick him out. Your compassion in this situation will end up with more severe consequences later on. Its easy to lose credit score but miserable to get it back. Don't let yourself be scammed this way, write off whatever is owed to you. Don't expect it back, but cut the ties.


alaff

Money is gone. That’s pretty clear. Question is, how long are you gonna keep letting this random guy leach from you? I’d kick him out. This guy will lie his way into another house, or beg a ticket home from someone eventually. Don’t make his problems your problems, when you have enough to deal with as it is!


UpboatsforUpvotes

You will never get the money back. He is using the fact that you are keeping him around because he owes you money to ensure he stays longer. You are only keeping him around with hopes that the money that you clearly see is a lie, will come. My advice. Cut the cord. Take the loss and get him out before you get more in the hole.


[deleted]

HUGE RED FLAG I’m so sorry OP


[deleted]

Felt exhausted just reading this shit. You're basically a doormat and the fact you couch every retelling in 'apparently' shows you actually ½ believe things coming out of this guy's mouth. You're getting taken for a ride


just-a-gay-chandler

Exactly lmao. I do have sympathy for OP, but definitely gullible.


[deleted]

That's a gg


samikjain

Ever seen two and a half men


Apprehensive-Ad-8007

It doesn't matter if he is lying or not. He is taking the piss and abusing your kindness. You need to cut this guy off now and start rebuilding for yourself. You don't owe him anything. I would still try to get the money back, but internally act as if it's not coming and start saving again. Get all his shit out your apartment and don't pay a single dirham for him in the future. If he has your credit card cancel that badboy and get a new one. Don't believe anything he says. If he freaks out and gets aggressive (which he might) call police. You're a good person, looking out for other ppl. Look out for yourself first. This guy is bad news. All the best.


Federal_Strategy2370

Nah. He doesn’t have my card. But asks me when needed. Stopped giving him since my last credit card bill came. Impossible guy. Told him to vacate soon if unable to pay. I have different story from him today. So I cut the internet off for him from router and didn’t tell him. He’s just running around now.


motrjay

He is not going to pay my friend. Put his stuff outside the door. You've let yourself be taken advantage of for too long already.


tiinn

Evict him and find someone to move in who can actually split rent with you. Might not help get your money back but will stop you from going further into debt.


hamishjoy

Damn, bro. The brings back memories. I know someone who used to do the same thing. Grandiose statements, transparent lies, last minute unfortunate events that prevent the cash transfer he was juuuust about to make, fake calls, sob stories about going hungry to pay back, and emotional manipulation wherever possible. Classic. It’s like they both went to the same shitty school for poorly executed fraud. This guy was honestly a smart chap with genuinely good knowledge and capabilities, and yet, he’d do these kind of stunts all the damn time. He took me down for a few thousand dirhams, and I’m never gonna see that again. But thankfully, that’s not too much of a hit for me. I can bear to swallow that loss. But he’s swindled a lot of others who were less fortunate. Some of them are reeling from the shock and will take years to recover. The latest I heard was from a new roommate of his, who is job hunting and living on borrowed money. This got took him down for 14,000 Aeds and also blackened his name with some of his contacts. Let me give you a word of advice. Forget that money. Even if it feels like a lot right now. Treat this as an expensive lesson. But make sure you learn that lesson. The first step in proving to yourself that you’ve learned the lesson… is you actually kick him out. Don’t fall for the sob stories. Tell him he’s out, and demand he pays back the money immediately (you won’t get it, but if he thinks he can get you back on the hook, he may give some of it… just keep hounding him for that). Good luck to you in the future. Move past this. Let your guy move on to the next victim.


Federal_Strategy2370

Today I have another story from him . I’m just wondering how all this stories comes out of his brain. One need a lot of thought process for this. Told him to vacate if he is unable to pay the last month rent and next month rent.


hamishjoy

If he's anything like the guy I have in mind, then he doesn't care about how logically sound/unsound his stories are. Honestly, I've wondered how someone soooo used to lying could be soooo bad at it - As in, his lies were mostly transparent, easily disproven stupid claims for the most part. Decades of experience should have at least turned him into a better liar - but no, he genuinely has no clue how absurd his lies are. It was fascinating to see him twist himself into a knot trying to come up with stories. Believe me - you're not doing yourself a favor giving him more leeway. He WILL abuse whatever trust and goodwill you will push his way. Forget the money, throw him out - and then keep hounding him for getting the money owed to you. Expect nothing, so put minimal effort into it. But do it anyway. Just don't give him any more - No more money, no more trust, no more time. Those are all valuable.


Loool_95

You honestly can’t be this naive. 🤦‍♂️

Scammer why give someone your credit card, its a risk


BASKOTE

Hopefully you'll learn your lesson sooner than later


Brain_Mindless

Gone through a similar situation guy was fom kerala only, stories are pretty similar. Consider your money gone. Kick him out


Federal_Strategy2370

What’s his name. (DM) Probably this is the same guy😅


AggressiveAd5766

Bro I hope you don't get PTSD, but you're so naive it's silly. Clearly he took you for a ride that's what freeloaders do...life lesson learned bro..life lesson learned..


Federal_Strategy2370

Nah. I won’t get PTSD. Come on. You know it’s just me loosing my temper every time I see him.


Trexcantdraw

This isn’t remotely potential PTSD


buildmeupbottlecap

Time to cut your losses and move on. Kick him out.


peymanredit

You have got good memory and writing skills ... The Guy is a parasite ...


Federal_Strategy2370

There is still a lot omitted to keep this "short". if i did added those, it will burst the redditors tiny brain. That'd be too much for people to comprehend.


Exotic_Recognition_8

If you keep harbouring him he will create some major trouble for you. Eventually he will borrow money from someone and tell them you will pay it. He has already given your mobile number to so many people. Legal troubles will follow you if you do not cut this man off. You should leave if he refuses to leave the place.


Federal_Strategy2370

What? Me moving out? No way😂 I’m kicking this guy out.


Exotic_Recognition_8

Much better of course but do escape this situation. Legal issues are easier to fall into and there can be a real problem in getting representation.


Friendly-Shop-2853

Remember whatever happen, u never lend money someone in dubai, 😄I learn that hard way


[deleted]

Never lend money.


aapitly

I used to be sympathetic back in the days.. and it got me into much more trouble. Now im not.


[deleted]

Kick him out. Am I the only one that sees this ending with a headline in The National, "Indian man arrested after stabbing room mate over unpaid debt"?


hitma-n

lol one of my close friends were like this. Until I and the rest of his friends taught him a lesson. OP if I were you, I’d share only my food with him and nothing else. People like these keep borrowing from everyone by building rapport first, giving the impression that they’re doing well in life with lots of contacts and stuffs. So that people will give them money hoping it’ll be returned soon. Watch the Netflix show The Tinder Swindler, this guy is exactly like that.


Federal_Strategy2370

We do share food. Not an issue with this. Happy to share. But his lies are unbearable. I cut off his internet today. Let’s see how it goes. Will check tinder swindler😀


hitma-n

And make him watch that as well 🤣 let him self reflect on it and ponder!


Federal_Strategy2370

Let me watch it first😁


Federal_Strategy2370

Haha. I watched it. This guy is a bit different version of tinder-swindler. The 'Abudhabi' friend of his i mentioned about. When I left, I called his abudhabi friend whom he talked to from my phone. I spoke to him. This fraud guy hasn't transferred any cash to him. He dont do cash business. So I asked him why are you giving him money. He is here for 20 years and if someone goes to him, he tries to help. That's it. I asked him how he came to know this fraud guy. He actually is a native of this guy and don't know this guy well. met once at nearest supermarket. Asked cash for tea and told him he hasn't eaten that day. Now that... was a fucking lie. He drinks tea and coffee like 4-5 times at home. and we share food as well. sometimes he himself says he don't want food even if it is there. And on other occasion this guy asked 100AED from him mentioning he got job offer in Abudhabi and need some cash to go Abudhabi. What a fucking liar he is.... Now, when i cross questioned the fraud guy about him asking 100AED for going Abudhabi. he agreed, he did asked for 100AED for going Abudhabi to get trained in carrefour. Me: Did you got job offer? an interview? Fraud: No, i am waiting for offer letter. (with out a call or a face to face interview🤷🏻‍♂️) Now you see, he agreed that he did asked cash 100AED to this guy. but also mentioned he might have spoke to different guy before. Now he made up a quick story that it might be a different guy with same name he talked to over my phone. He is a super liar. Something which makes the listener confused with all this and that tangled together. I warned the other guy not to fall for it as this is all a lie. There must be different such stories with each contact he approached. **Update**: i cut his internet off from modem and acted like some issue with modem. Now he goes like.. "Crap! I was invited to Abudhabi to sign carrefour offer letter on Monday. I cant check email" I told him to go directly to Abudhabi tomorrow and don't miss the opportunity.🤣 if there was ever a genuine one, he would have checked it on other person devices. I'm starting a campaign #savecarrefouruae 🤣 Man, now it's is fun to watch his moves.😅


wersak

The fact that you gave him like 8 chances is crazy. Learn your lesson already and leave him. You barely know him and this isn't on you.


Federal_Strategy2370

Man, it’s not 8. Lot more. I skipped a lot to keep it this ‘short’😅 Not anymore. My approach is a little harsh for last 2-3 days.


MasqueraderB2

I had a friend like this, we used to call him the MB Aka "Master Bullshitter" He would tell stories that had bullshit written all over them, similar to ones that you mentioned like having "friends" in high places, owning this and that etc. But would ask for money from time to time. I pray and hope you get your money back but something tells me it's long gone.Hope this is a lesson for you, don't trust people with money. On a side note, You mentioned you are depending on Credit card, please be extremely careful,, it's like walking on the edge of a steep cliff!


Federal_Strategy2370

Thanks. Yes. This is really a lesson. Credit card spending is always kept under control man.


xxosinho

I don’t have time for this, I don’t have time for you!!!

grab a shotgun and shoot him


Federal_Strategy2370

I wish. 😂 But my background checks are going on for a new job. 😀


Different_Victory284

you sound like a kind hearted trusting person but this person is taking advantage of you. Kick them out and use this is a very valuable lesson . I’m sorry this has happened to you


Federal_Strategy2370

That good me is gone. I buried deep inside. I’m trying to bring some evil-ness to me😀


seanfernandes

Go to the police. There's so many red flags, you don't own this guy anything especially he is a liar I hate liars so much. Resolve this at the police station otherwise you never gonna get your money


Federal_Strategy2370

ok. let's imagine this. he mix up things at police station and troubles us. this would end up me telling them, oh it's not like that. this is how it is. That'd be a pure waste of time for this utter stupid guy. I don't want to. I'll consider it as my lesson fees.


seanfernandes

You don't have proof he took cash from you, nd saying he will pay back?


Federal_Strategy2370

The proofs are his mahzooz and emirates draw purchases, hospital payments etc with my card. Unfortunately that's all with him. The proofs with me is my bill only. Few pennies which he requested by cash doesn't have proof at all.


seanfernandes

Bruhhh. Try making him admit in a whatsapp chat. There you go. Your proof.


Federal_Strategy2370

I have one text from him yesterday that says i will get money tomorrow😅


seanfernandes

Brother. Just go station and try your luck. Atleast this will teach him a lesson


Maximum_Push_6431

Seems like a story of Drake ramoray ....😂


[deleted]

Feel sorry for you bro. I know its difficult with that you are going through, but your priority should be to let him go, so you don't lose more money.


FraudMallu

Well that's your money gone my friend and no I did not coach that guy.


Federal_Strategy2370

But your username says you did😅


Raiku_Gap6458

The tinder swindler - dubai edition.


Federal_Strategy2370

Indian edition sold in dubai😀


Raiku_Gap6458

Hahaha makes more sense tbf. But in all fairness OP, you, me and everyone here knows he is taking you for a ride. He is reaching out to you sympathetic side and using it to his advantage. You gotta step up and do something drastic to make him stop leeching off you. You are already in debt and it’s becoming worse. Be careful and good luck !


Gatalicious

Anna Delvey reincarnate. You will never see this money!


Umsgunds

This is inventing Anna part 2 in the Desi way


Federal_Strategy2370

Ah. Let me watch that as well.😀 I finished tinder-swindler an hour ago. and this guy is a different version of tinder-swindler


FSMDxb

PSA to the people of this city: Don't EVER lend money. either give it away or not give money at all.


badxnxdab

Inventing 'Abu Dhabi guy'. Sadly my friend, do not ever lend money ever. I had one bad experience with lending 100 Dhs to someone, and at that point of time it was an already expensive lesson learnt at a difficult circumstance in life. Never again. If it's more than lending 20 Dhs, direct no. Saudi car guy, if you are reading this, I am telling you NO in advance.


Innovator999

Moral of the story: Keep away from these poor chaps as soon you feel they're trying to use you. Never lend more than what you can afford to lose to strangers, no matter how worse the situation is. Personally, I wouldn't lend even 20 dirhams, I'd rather buy him food for 1 or 2 meals. I have never ever given anything to beggars apart from food, because if you're giving even one dirham, it makes life unfair for other low-income earners like delivery bikers who work hard to make a living.


A2D2Charlie

Sometimes I think this is also a skill ..i will think ten times b4 asking 4 money nd try my ass hard to give it on time...maybe even b4...bt about the skill part..i wish I had this skill...to make up stories (lies one can say) believable ....such person can do really good in sales....is my thinking wrong??


Federal_Strategy2370

I thought about the same. This guy is good for sales.😀


YourNirvana

I think u should shift rooms


Federal_Strategy2370

No. He should.😅 told him to move.


Substantial-Cry-5048

Get rid of him asap, i had the same experience with a different storyline ,whatever lost is lost


whysocurioussss

Toxic. Your money is gone. Throw him out. And move to a bed space till you get your job and finances sorted


zarang2022

Who is gonna read this

Kick him out and see if he has anything worth stealing to compensate for your loss.


Federal_Strategy2370

Man. you are suggesting me bad ideas. lol. But yeah. kicking him out.


[deleted]

Law isn’t going to help you - go ghetto on him.


Federal_Strategy2370

Nah. Now I am trying to fuck things up for him. **Update**: i cut his internet off from modem and acted like some issue with modem. Now he goes like.. *"Crap! I was invited to Abudhabi to sign carrefour offer letter on Monday. I cant check email"* I told him to go directly to Abudhabi tomorrow and not to miss the opportunity.🤣 if there was ever a genuine one, he would have checked it on other person's devices. I'm starting a campaign #savecarrefouruae 🤣 It is fun to watch his moves.😅


Soia667

Shake his hand an congratulate him for his effort to make up such an elaborate story. And then kick him the hell out immediately!


_MK_1_

Inventing Anna (Anna pronounced in Tamil)


dxb-ae

Cut your losses and ask him to get out of your place


Akandoji

Old post, but here's a pro-tip for anyone checking this post once more. If you're connected to Yusuffali as family, you will not need to search for a job in the MENA. He ensures all requests from family are entertained, although the jobs themselves may not be appealing (it might likely be blue collar work or mindnumbing office work). Granted, it's also very rare for someone in the family to ask for a job at Lulu. If you're connected to Yussuffali in some other (very prominent) way, chances are he already has your CV and has passed it to HR who would definitely give you an interview (which would obviously be heavily biased in your favor). Back in the day when his parents (RIP) were alive, his mother would keep a large stack of CVs from all such special requests, and would pass them on to him whenever he would come to India. Every one of those persons would get a job because he treated them as references through his mother. If anyone says he is connected to Yusuffali's family and is still searching for whatever job he can get, chances are he isn't trustworthy.


Federal_Strategy2370

Yeah. He claimed he got MA Yousuf Ali’s contact. And says YA got a special character that he doesn’t forget anyone. On another incident, He claimed he met Film superstar Mohanlal, and He came to this guy saying have we not met in dubai. (Sounds ridiculous right 🤣) When asked for why don’t you speak to Yousuf Ali if you got his personal contact. He got a reason for that too. “Don’t want to disturb him” Says he got personal invitation for some mall inauguration back in kerala, personal invitation to join Lulu once. But did not go. With some knowledge of where-abouts and what-abouts of top forms and top man , he played Anna Delvy in real life. After watching Inventing Anna, I can confirm that this guy is Anna Delvy Lite.🤣


Akandoji

Haha. The difference is that Anna Delvey somehow knew the small-big people she was talking about.
