Its a drop in the bucket for the Saudi Arabian. However he should have known not to part with the money till the goods were delivered. Its a case of "Buyer Beware".

Hopefully, Lankans will soon realize that they cannot cheat and do corrupt stuff in other countries just because they do it in SL.

Don't give money your money to other people unless your get something of similar value back. Otherwise just donate it to needy people, not thieves.
