    What other friends do you have?  Siblings?   Close colleagues?

    Have you felt able to ask your parents for help or advice?
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    33 year old male living with parents. Yes I would say vulnerable adult ? 

    Op speak to your parents for any advice. You have lost the £6000. He is not your friend. Ignore / block all contact!

    Do not get into any conversations / emails / phone calls  TOTALLY ignore from now on.
