@ladyqueen...firstly: we all got our own share of problems...whether it is family or others...and when you want to help someone...you gotta make sure of what you need to do...and find out what is the right process and steps. As I have mentioned, there is no easy solutions here. You gotta use you brains...secondly I didn't say anything about your mother and I am sure you want to do your best to look after her... but come on! you gotta wake up and be smart about what you get yourself into...and not rush into things like this....what would your mother say about the situation you got yourself into. Would she be happy about it! So Think!...Thirdly... God will not help you solve your problem, yes there maybe Karma...and maybe someday this Fraudster will have to answer to God... but believe me God is not going to send a knight in a shinning armour and resolve your problem to get your money back...who do that here! So wake up...don't be delusional...be smart about it and don't get conned. Move on and resolve your issue... you can try to get this guy to court, but where is the legal or binding contract that he offered his services to you, that he received payment nor any evidence that he can provide such services. I am sure you are not married... your spouse would have slapped you silly.
