Also war ich mit einem Mann befreundet, der koreanischer Amerikaner ist, und bin nach Korea geflogen, nicht nur, um mit ihm abzuhängen, sondern um die Gegend zu erkunden, und ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass er mich betrogen hat. Sobald wir uns trafen, erzählte er mir, dass er aus einer reichen Familie stammte und dass er tatsächlich betrogen wurde, also bat er mich um Geld, das ich ihm ein wenig erläuterte. Bevor ich nach Korea kam, waren wir etwa zwei Jahre lang Online-Freunde. Er sagte, er würde mich sofort bezahlen. Seitdem sind fast zwei Monate vergangen, und ich habe immer noch kein Geld erhalten. Als ich zum ersten Mal hierherkam, waren wir nur Freunde und begannen später eine Art Beziehung. Wir stritten uns ungefähr zwei Tage lang und er warf mich aus dem Hotel, und jetzt wohne ich in einem Hostel. Gibt es irgendetwas, was ich aus rechtlicher Sicht tun kann?

Wait relationship? Kicked you out of the hotel?
Fuck this guy, and idk buddy just take your losses I guess
Unless there is grounds to pursue this legally.
I had a very similar experience except this sounds like the same guy… lmao did he have a 20 million won debt???
Lended now an ex friend €200 3 yrs ago.
Haven’t seen that scumbag ever since.
Don’t lend money to people, and expect it back unless you trust them 100%
Also, you should probably never trust someone 100%
But if this guy scammed you which it seems like he did, report him to the police.
Yeah, 100% sounds like a scam. It generally goes: emergency situation that is entirely not their fault but left them needing money. They will definitely be able to pay it back (or more) by X date, they just need the loan until then. X date comes and they don’t pay it back. Either they ignore that the date has arrived, or come up with a reason that is again not their fault at all, and give a new date. That date comes, and the cycle repeats. They sound extremely assured and convincing because they’ve done this same story to a load of other people already so know exactly how to cover every possible question that might arise.
You could try going to the police, but like you say, you don’t have a full paper trail to show what happened. You’d also be dealing with the challenges of perusing legal action and a foreigner in a country you don’t live in and I assume don’t speak the language of. That’s difficult, and may cost you even more money if you need to hire representation or just someone to help you with the process.
It’s up to you. It might be less stressful for you to just take the hit and the hard lesson that came with it.
He or she is a scammer
Homosexha?
Please do not lend people money. If you have. Please expect to not be paid back.
Never, never, never
why is this triggering a deja vu… vaguely remember reading this type of ’story‘ in Busanhaps around Covid time..
This is such a common scam on dating apps/online, they’re always “rich” or work for a nice company but somehow don’t have enough money for xyz and ask to borrow. Also please have more discretion in the future before jumping on a plane to meet a stranger and lending money. And on top of that not having a back up plan if things go south.
If he’s actually Korean or Korean American, get as much of his info and report it to the police. Try to meet him again in person (even if it takes faking that you don’t care about the money or that you just “miss him”). Once you’re in person, start recording the conversation and talk about the whole situation but make sure to do it tactfully. Then you can use the recording as evidence to bring to the police.
Almost exact same situation, excuses, need it for credit card payment blah blah, sent 400k and never saw the guy again. Don’t give into pressure like this.
I’m just wondering: how in the world does he kick you out of a hotel that you paid for?
