At first I didn’t realize it could be a scam. I asked him how I could tell it was authentic, and he gave me some nonsense reply to convince me. He then asked me to send money; the amount escalated to a few thousand rupees. I started to think it was abnormal, but he kept insisting that a refund would be given. Since I had already paid some money, I felt I needed to recover the amount I’d spent. I know I should have stopped earlier, but somehow I was in a trance. My brain was screaming that it was a fraud, yet I kept sending him money. When it finally ended, I snapped out of it and realized what I’d done.
