My name is Robert, a businessman from Kampala, Uganda, and I would like to share my story with anyone who has ever lost money through a friend, business partner, or trusted acquaintance.
For three painful years, I struggled to recover 15 million shillings that I had lent to a close friend.Several years ago, my friend approached me claiming that he was facing a temporary financial challenge. Because we had known each other for a long time, I trusted him completely.
He promised to return the money within a few months, and without hesitation, I agreed to help him.At first, everything seemed fine. He regularly communicated with me and reassured me that he would repay the money as agreed.
