Nigerians why can't we just be truthful to one another for once, writing this in pain. A scammer i consider as a friend scammed me of my 115 PI. His excuse was that he sent it to his own vendor to buy it but up till now the vendor has not sent the money and also the PI back. The main reason i sold was because i needed that money day before yesterday i couldn't wait again for the listing. Now i have nothing! What can i do to such a friend because am tired and we are not even in the same state?

This is a tough and painful situation, and I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, in the crypto space, scams and dishonest dealings are common, especially when there’s no proper buyer protection.Since the person is in another state, legal action might be difficult unless you have solid proof of the transaction and their intent to defraud you. However, here are some possible steps you can take.It's unfair, but in crypto, trust should always be backed by security measures. Stay strong! You need to handle transactions personally to avoid relying on intermediaries who may be untrustworthy.
All Nigerians aren't scammers, and one person’s wrongdoing should not be used to judge an entire group because scams can happen in anything and anywhere scammers have no ethics ,no morality .

Things like that can be so heart breaking, it took people that mined Pi about 6 years to do that and it would be so heartbreaking looking it to scammers after all the hard efforts, I understand how the OP feel anyways this should serve as a lesson to those who mined Pi to be very careful and watch out for scammers, not only Pi but every valuable Cryptocurrency in general especially Bitcoin.

However I came across a scam alert in a crypto group on WhatsApp media saying that people who have Pi shouldn't click on any link with adverts saying that people should claim free Pi the only mining that's ongoing even after it's lainch is the one in the official Pi app, that's the only way one can mine Pi, it also says that people shouldn't be in a rush to trade their Pi's so they won't fall victim to scammers, I urge everyone who got Pi to take it seriously.
