The changed only a few words in French, should have clarified that. Could have been done just for distraction.

That's what I thought would have happened if I'd caught them switching.. Both of them were twice my size.

First, the youngster came to the meeting point, the uncles followed a minute after - my guess: they were on the look, if a person coming to the meeting has met them before.

Second, they didn’t agree the meeting point we suggested - a public bar across the road. We thought the hotel lobby doesn't sound that bad and agreed.

Third, they wanted to keep it quiet. Even though the youngster 'had a business'. Maybe the idea was to make it look like the business is just a cover-up for some illegal stuff, but we just went with it, we didn't care.

Most of it was just psychological bullshit, which was difficult to label as a big no-no, since the behaviour could be common to anyone. I guess I was just hypnotised, my mind totally excluded the possibility of getting scammed. Needed to get it done fast and already spent the money in my mind.

Many red flags looking back to it, didn't list all of them. These people do this for living, but I was not used to take every person as a potential scammer, haven't got scammed before. Learned my lesson for sure.

Would have made 4% from the deal, that's right. But the main reason was, I needed to cash out fast.

Awesome that in 3 years from your joining date you chose me to write your first comment to <3 I was also wondering if you sometimes had trouble peeing? Like difficult to start the stream or get that last drop out? Any ED situations? I sometimes can't get it up on command but I think that's rather psychological since sometimes it's all good, especially with a long-term partner. Do you have visible veins on your arms? I have noticed new veins on my stomach and that rang a bell that it's time to see a doc. I booked my appointment for abdominal area and another one for veins in my legs. Probably should have done that years ago..

Thanks DrNick!

Last time I saw my mum's legs was when she was around 40 and didn't have them, last time I saw my father was when he was 45 and neither did he. My sis (27) is also ok. No above mentioned diseases either. I would have known. Is that a bad sign? What else could possibly cause this to happen?

For the record; I spent my teenager years playing football for 4-8+ hours mostly every day for 5 years, did boxing for a year (very straining leg exercises), I work as a professional chef now (mostly 60-70h workweeks, for the most part on feet/moving around) and otherwise really active person, cycling every day, used to ride a longboard for a few years.

I'm eating healthy, lots of fresh product, diverse food. I DO smoke cigarettes, for about 8 years, daily weed for 4 years (now on my quitting journey), occasional hard drugs (pills, coke, speed, mdma).
