i am travelling through Asia and one day on a restaurant met a guy which I became acquaintance of. As I was staying in a nearby Airbnb, I was going daily, and we spoke about a lot of things, including family, work, weather etc.
As we grew in confidence and I was ready to move on to my next destination (home), I thought it would be nice, by the end, to give him a donation to donate to a project he and his daughter been working on for years.
As I don't have a local account, I did manage to get his paypal through his daughter in order to send him something although i wasn't planning to even mention it to him and just go.
well, two days before I decided to transfer around 200usd to his account as a gift. somehow next day as I went for my last dinner, he knew and hugged me for that and it was a nice time. I was surprised how much happy he was but also understood it might not be an amount he could come easily with.
i said goodbye never to see them again.
I left and several days after, I see a charge on my account of approximately 6k usd, which is my whole savings for the past year.
as I manage various accounts, and various currencies, I did not notice the account I was sending from was US, not his local currency.
this puts me in so much financial stress that I have lost all will. I cleared PayPal and can't message him. And this all came for my own fault. I can't start to express how disappointed I am with myself.
TLDR: I am absolutely broke.
