why dont you just go to the cops while waiting for the money?
it doesn't cost anything and in the worst case the cops will tell you that you are a idiot.
it just makes you look like an even greater idiot how you beg him to pay you 10 $ a week, although he scammed you out of 5000$
+1 on this. The lack of your willingness to go to the police is only making you look naive. It will also likely result in many other people trying to scam you in the future as well as they will assume that you are not going to do anything about it
I would say your reaction to this situation (or lack thereof) is causing you to lose all respect on here
It's not $10 per week, I'm waiting until he receives his tax refund and then he sends the full payment. I'm actually starting to get annoyed by these people who don't even know the situation and are just posting here for the drama
