Kyle Cimiotti I trusted him .. I learned the hard way. Ft Lauderdale Florida

I have known Kyle for years.  We used to work together for a police agency, many moons ago.  He emailed me that he was having a little financial trouble because his wife had "put him out of the house and he was going to be evicted from the hotel he was staying in."

He asked if I could help him with the cost of the 'weekly rent' and he would pay me back next week.  He asked for just shy of $400.  That was over 2 months ago.  I have reached out to him a couple times, while trying to be sympathetic to his alleged current situation.

I finally threatened him with the loss of our friendship if he didn't pay me back, he responded to my message, but not with any timeline on when he would pay me.  I since have not heard from him.  I haven't contacted him either, I feel like contacting him through "small claims court".

Do NOT do business with this man .. even if it's of personal nature and you have known him for YEARS ... I have since been approached by a mutual friend who said he wished I had talked to him first before loaning Kyle money .. he would have advised against it because he's done this to him in the past.

I am not hurt or heartbroken over the loss of a so-called friendship .. I'm more angry that I was so trusting to help who I thought was a "friend in need".  Never Again!!
