My friend Keiko met a man through a personal
advertisement in the newspaper.
His name was Keisuke and she liked him very
much.
He came from Kanazawa and was buying an
apartment there.
However, he said that there was a problem
with the roof and the builders wanted \500,000 to repair
it.
She lent him the money and he went back
to Kanazawa to see the builders.
He said he would phone during the week,
but he didn't.
Keiko waited and waited but nothing happened.
She phoned his number, but she just got
an answering machine, then, after a week or so, his phone
was disconnected.
In the end she told her parents what had
happened.
Her father had a friend in the police.
He spoke to the policeman and asked him
for his advice.
The policeman said that it might be impossible
to find the man and anyway, it was Keiko's decision to lend
him the money.
He advised Keiko to forget about the man
and the money and to be more careful in the future.
