A Person asked me for around 2600$ to change business visa in bangkok , i sent those amount from nepal too . After few months he again demand for 3000$ & told which was necessary for changing visa as his company's manager post. And i refused to go there and asked him to return those amount 2600$, he told me due to my reason he beared losses and paid fine thats the reason i cant get my money return back. Is it true? But he hasn't sent me any evidence. Please help. That person is also a Nepali.
Answer summary
The individual from Nepal describes a situation where they were asked to pay an exorbitant amount for a business visa change in Thailand, only to be demanded more money later and told they wouldn't receive a refund due to alleged losses incurred by the scammer. The community responses suggest that this is likely a scam, advising the individual to refrain from sending more money and to trust no one in similar situations.

Unfortunately, you have been scammed by your fellow countryman. If you know his native place in Nepal, you can find his family and pressurize them to get your money back. For now, cut your losses and don’t send any new money.
