In my way of thinking, things that happen are good or bad; they are learnings that teach us how to overcome and work life.
Have you ever thought about how the things that happen to you today will help you in the future?
A clear example of how they help you is this little story.
In this case a young man in a moment of need opted to sell his cell phone, this young man published his offer on a page created for the sale of the same belonging to Facebook. Where I contacted a person interested in your product, made contact by private messages, where they came to complete the business in the following way, the interested party would pay the product with a bank transfer and go to pick up the product at the young man's house. The young man asked for security proof of the transfer where the interested party sent him a capture of the transaction. The confident young man was making use of his money, to his surprise he did not have the same, impacted attempt to contact him with the buyer to his surprise and he had already blocked it and had no contact with him. In this way the young man realized that he had been scammed with a phantom transfer. Without much to do, the young man despaired and went into a depression and blasphemy with how badly he took his life with him and did not find someone to help him.
After a few days of depression this began what had happened.
His conclusion was that what had happened in part was his fault for not asking for opinions on how to sell his product and how to make the payment, but he saw that with this experience in the future the same would not happen to him.
From the above I can deduce that the young man with a good heart putting confidence in the buyer, being scammed and vilely robbed I also realize that not all people have good feelings and hence, the famous saying that we could come as a ring to the finger.
"But the devil knows as old as devil"
Young people should ask for advice from elders to carry out operations in which we are naive.
I wish my contribution could help you as an orientation as a result of the experience reported by your friend
