Your story is quite similar to that of my brother, they never let him rest in school, they even went as far as tracing him with his perfume until he explained to one of his lecturers and the man advised him to come home then. Thank God you made the right decision 🙏.
Those guys are so dangerous. You just need to be careful with them and use your sense. They can even go far to buy expensive things for you.
I'm just happy that I didn't fall to their prey.
