Re: I think one of my best friends tried to scam me
WARNING: I am an American and don't totally understand the situation you are describing. I am prepared to take full responsibility and blame for the fact that my difference in culture and un-worldliness is at fault here.
He asked you for 10 pounds (that is the pounds symbol, right?) and you gave it to him, then wrote it down so you remembered you loaned him money. Then walking home he said he asked you for 10 pounds in change and you gave it to him.
Is there a difference between money "in change"? Or did you actually not give him the money and he says you did. Or did is he trying to say the HE gave YOU money?
I've certainly had times where I have suspected my friends of trying to "cheat" me. Sometimes money is involved - they'll buy me something and I'll ask how much I owe them and I know they round up. But I do think it's an honest mistake...and then there are times when they'll spot me change or give me a ride and I figure it all works out
If it hasn't happened previously and you still get a good feeling about him, I'd let it slide. You can always keep a close eye on things and be on-alert in case something happens again but it may just be an honest misunderstanding.
