I couldn't have agree more of your actions. I am really against people earning money by cheating/ scams/ fraud etc. because happened to me twice and it was my hard earned money. Not to say he was cheating or what since we haven't had any proof of actions yet but judging from your story it was not convincing that this guy had any good intentions.
By the way I have been following some of your post, though I didn't follow all but I really like most of them because it was a quality post and resourceful, and really like to learn more from you to be a successful steemians.
Much love from Malaysia!
