Scam Description

I met a guy who was very nice to me. We go out and hangout, he picks me up to my place and we go out. After few days of hanging out with him he suddenly asked for my help to send money to his bodyguard cuz this so called bodyguard of his is on vacation with the girlfriend according to him. So i did help him, i even asked my friends to help me send his bodyguard some money because I already exceeded my limit on my zelle. So one of my friend help me send the bodyguard a $4k and $1k from my own bank account ($5k in total). So on the day where he was supposed to pick me up to pay all the money he owes me, he suddenly blocked me so I tried calling the number where we sent the money. He picked up my call and he answered it, I explained him everything what happened cuz he said he has no idea so he told me he will talk to his friend. I begged him to help me bring back the money and he said he will. I send him all the transactions made, all the conversations where a friend of his asked for money cuz he claimed it that he needs it. I did everything i can to prove him that his friend scammed me so he said he will help me. Tried calling him back but he blocked me too. But all the evidences are still with me. All the transactions receipts, conversations and their numbers is still with me. I just badly need the money back cuz i need to pay my friend the $4k and my last money is the $1k. Thats all i need.
