@drawingly neo notified us of your post on his discord server, I did read @neoxian and @realwolf post concerning this scam earlier. He scammed 4 witness from the latter's post.
I am so sorry for your loss, given he took advantage of your generosity and trust.
His heart is full of cabbage.
$1000usd in africa can feed a family for a year i must tell you, I wish I knew how to help on recovering your loss but I am just like you, an amateur in crypto.
