He has taught you the skills.

Either utilize it or leave it due to the fear of God in you (i.e if you have any)

Goodmorning my Nairaland family, how's things with you'll? Trust this meets you well.
There is an issue on ground I'll really like to share here as i practically spend some of my free time here. And mods, please help me move to the right section. And please bear with me as it might be a long read.
Sometime in August, last year, I stumbled across a post made by a Nairalander with the moniker, Brokeness. He was asking about ways to make money online as a 23 year old and although there were lots of comments about stuffs he could do, a certain Nairalander with the moniker headboyprince also commented saying there's something he could do to make money at the comfort of his bed, something along those lines. So I messaged him wanting to know more, he asked about my name and then added me to a WhatsApp group he just created and there were other persons too from here that messaged him that he added as well. He started the introduction of things we'll need like apps and all of that and we progressively went. Then he started dropping little tasks that we could do and get airtime of which I was able to get some of it. So we went on till early Sept. last year when my phone, an infinix note got damaged. So I reached out to him (headboyprince) on WhatsApp with the spare phone, tecno wx3 a friend gave to me, that my phone was damaged and will be having difficulties doing tasks. So along the line, he offered me his own phone, redmi note 9s, saying it was up for sale. But because the money I had then wasn't up to the amount he mentioned, he offered to help me look for a phone that the money I had then could buy and I should the money I had. He said he'll sell for N50k last and I had like N25k then. I sent him my N25k after seeing the acct to be his and we had come a long way already so I trusted him to keep to his words, such a foolish thing to have done, I admit. So he sent me pictures of some phones that he saw his side that the amount I sent could buy but they weren't good. Like cloned or something. He even told me to go for a smaller redmi phone and later upgrade but the reviews I saw made me reject it. So left with nothing else, I begged him to sell his redmi phone for me and I'll pay in installments. He agreed and asked for online collateral; like my details; BVN, NIN, my binance acct logins etc. Like I had my doubts tho, but I sha continued. He then asked me to be doing online stuffs for him so as to raise money and complete the money N50k for the phone. I actually did a lot like conversions on notta.ai but up till Dec. of last year, there was no headway. So I decided to just send him the balance N25k so he ship the phone to me. He agreed earlier to foot cost of shipping. I asked him when he'll ship and he said before 7th of January, this year. But could you believe that since that day, it has been from one story to another. If he is not sick, then police arrested him, different stories. Remember, I was still using my friend's spare phone to reach him through telegram this time and he was on my neck to return it. I continued reaching out to him to ship, then later that same January, he asked me to provide bank accounts to withdraw money from a betting site, ngawins. Normally, I was to send him 5k from the money and keep the rest but I sent him all. The total money was less than N11k but I added my own to it and sent him to ship the phone. He is based in Jos and am in Edo state and amount to ship was the N11k. Even after he received the money, stories didn't stop. Fine, you drop the phone at a location, let me come pick it up, he still refused. After a long back and forth, I sent him another 6k to ship to Abuja so someone will bring it down to me and that was around early April. This time, after receiving the money, his story was that I should pay N20k for him to teach me more, that I'll make millions. And this is someone always claiming broke. He said the phone was loaded with a lot that I should wait for him to clear the phone. Or if I can't wait, I pay for things in the phone, like apps, links and stuffs like that and he'll ship faster than usain bolt. Affected by sunk cost fallacy, I sent him another N5k with me telling him that if the money wasn't enough he shouldn't make me send it. He gave me the go-ahead and I sent, that's around May. After receiving it, he started accusing me of changing my binance logins, holding back his money he had in my account, all allegations. I even used my laptop to forward him the password and username. Now this time, he has finally hijacked my binance acct, held onto the money I sent him both for the phone and shipping and just went mute, only to start talking off topic. Now am seriously regretting not following my instinct and acting otherwise. Criticism and advise please

I taught big money self
Scammer an hungry person
The person scammed also an hungry person too.

Last week I mistakenly sent 90k to an Opay account

I can’t give my self heart attack due to small thing.

So man let it be and move on
God blessing always
