Several things happen to people which make them do what they don't want to do out of frustration.

Hardly anyone will wish that he is not able to pay back money that he collected for a purpose, one thing may lead to another and before you get to know of it, it gets out of hand. Ever since I got to know myself so well I have always avoided getting into loans for one reason or the other.
The worst loan anyone can take in my dear country is loan from all these loan apps. There is this family friend who was a victim and before you know it, these people started calling people close to her which I was called too, to say she is a thief and no one should have anything to do with her. Immediately I called the lady and she was like, I should not mind those people that they are just very stupid. Few weeks back I received a message too telling me not to associate with someone else for same loan issue. One Monday we spoke about data management, how do these people have access to these victims contacts? That's a serious question that needs an urgent answer.
For this edition I will share a story of someone who i volunteered to help but it backfired on me.
Just last year someone I mate online called that I should help him run some transaction and that it belongs to his friend who is stranded outside the country because the work he went for didn't work out well. So I agreed, got someone to buy of the crypto asset and all that. Shortly, the buyer said he was not interested and demanded for a refund. This was so disturbing because the guy in question have already used the money. This guy began to pressurize me to return his money or he publish my name as a scammer. It wasn't his fault so much because he didn't know the seller. Las las, I began to pay the money. I didn't eat this money but it's now as if I was the one that borrowed the money. We pay this Mooney to a point I became so angry with the whole thing. Just yesterday I called the other persons friend to inform him that they should pay me back because am tired of paying what I didn't eat more so a lot is on my table at the moment.
This insidence thought lessons in a very difficult way, I must not enter a deal with people am not sure of. Also, before I stand as a middle man for any deal, I should make up my to pay back if anything happens or I should not start the deal at all.
This particular issue also taught me to be mindful of the kind of friends I keep and to be aware of greed. Do you know the person that brought that deal claimed that the fellow is his friend but he couldn't stand to help his friend clear the dept instead he kept telling me and my husband that he needs to invest into something and there is a coin he want to buy. Even when he had more than enough to clear that money. That was what pained me the most. I hate to associate with greedy and selfish people.
