Ripped off

Recommended Posts

I’ve been ripped off by a fellow Punjabi in a business deal.  I know I’m to blame as well as I trusted this person when I shouldn’t have.  I don’t even care about the money even though the damage done is close to 6 figures, but am feeling really bad about how I’ve been treated.  I thought I could trust this person but he just saw me as an easy target and dollar signs.  My family members are telling me to forgive and move on but I’m finding this really hard to do as I think about it all day. Any suggestions on how I can move on?

The best thing would be to start a new buisness, make that guy your motivation that you'd want to reach that lvl again.. Get busy ..

Money pays your bills, puts food on your table and a roof over your head. If you "don’t even care about the money even though the damage done is close to 6 figures" then what the hell are you getting so worked up about ? If your feelings are so easily bruised through issues of mistrust then I would suggest that 'business' is perhaps not the right career for you and you should perhaps look at alternative careers where your delicate sensibilities can be given more protection.

Guest Call the cops

1. Report it to the Police and work to recover the money

2. Make it your target to do daswand of an amount greater than you lost

3. Take out a civil suit against the offender

4. Start a new business with the sole target of using 90% profits to help the poor

5. Name and shame the crook so he doesn't do it to someone else

Looks like the money is burnt.Won't come back no matter what.But the pain and feeling of being betrayed is going to follow you forever.It's normal.Everyone who ever got conned feels it.

Either you can let it go and carry on with your life...of if you have more money,you can always hire someone or a group in Punjab to speed up the karmic process for the chap that duped you.

You mentioned 6 figures.May I ask in what currency?

Learn about sociopaths and make sure another one doesn't con you like this. 

I bet you this guy was really charming and gave off an air of integrity and friendship. That's what they are good at. Their abilities enable them to make split second decisions regarding people, who they set up for long cons. 

When you meet people like this it makes you contemplate your own naivety.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
