Ask him.
I loaned him $400 in February; it was supposed to be paid back within a few days. I haven't had an email since late Feb or a phone call since early March. I am a "PollyAnna" type who likes to hope for the best, and I really hope there is a legit explaination (sp?), but at this point, it looks painfully obvious that I've been ripped off.
That was my flight money for Phoenix; I told him I needed it back to buy my tickets. Now, things have gone to shit at home, (which is why I have been scarce..I don't have a laptop and I really avoid being home because my brother, who is staying here right now, too, harasses me whenever I do), and I'm trying to get a new place, and that $400 would definitely help, but it's doubtful I will ever see it again. What really chaps my ass is the fact that here you have a guy with very expensive home and a nice, newish car, and he ripped off a divorced mom with three kids who is currently living with her mother.
I'd hate to see anyone else in my shoes, so I decided to take some advice I received about letting folks know about what happened. I hate making a drama thread, but I kind of felt like I had to do it. I have to chalk it up to an expensive lesson learned, that's for sure, but hopefully no one else will have to do the same.
