How am i trying to scam im not asking for money or anything just advise and maybe some useful websites i could access to gain information to help me.

teejaydee

Could you please tell us which of these claims is true?

Pulaski

If EITHER of those is true then this cannot be true.

Guys I was convinced this was a scam, when I initially advised i could not add anymore, just not sure enough to call it at that time.

BPO 7 hours north of Manila I do not thinks so!!!

''Being here for the amount of time i have i also have lost my accent and now sound like Filipino. ''

I have been here for 14 years and not lost my accent or the ability to construct written English

Guys this is a Con and I would suggest the MODS may wish to flag a warning

Also when googled this unique name comes up for a Russian website that if you click on will have your Firewall going crazy.

You have been warned!!

I understand your concerns, guys, but scams normally involve asking for money or taking us off to dodgy websites. Let's see if the OP comes back here and helps us along a little with the latest questions.

mikemike

Well If you think he is going to ask for money now then it will be a hoot. the con was slowly settling in with sympathy factor, outrage that embassy does nothing The next stage is to NOT ask but will accept any assistance. By the way the UK embassy does not give out details of attorneys. The dodgy website with his unique handle is identified, then again its not pay pal

Anyone know of anywhere 7 hours north of manila by bus with BPO offices and expats there

Angeles 2 hours

Baguio 5 hours

Laoag 5 hours

After that you are in the Boonies heading for Pagapud and the south China sea

then again I am just a cynic auditioning for Grumpy old man part 3

Here's another cynical grumpy old man

I was pretty sure he was doing what is called 'The Long Con' after three or four posts but he could have also been just a common or garden troll

Evidently some on here are not familiar with 'Hustle' or Leverage' but FWIW when a poster needing help (or money) starts saying can you PM me please its a dead give away.

InVinoVeritas

Look guys, as spammy as this may seem to some of you, it does not yet constitute a spam. The OP PM'd me for guidance and I replied to him. He has not broken any rules.

I am conscious that some members have taken time to respond to him in good faith and it behoves us all to await clarification of this situation before jumping to judgment.

scrubbedexpat095

Its not spamming but trolling IMO.

InVinoVeritas

No, it's not trolling:-

Looks to me like a text book case of trolling, albeit a fairly benign one. From the link you posted:

InVinoVeritas

As you wish - just go figure who the troll is

Now back to thread please - assuming the OP ever returns.

SanDiegogirl

Other "facts" the OP seems to get mixed up.

In first post he says moved to Philippines three years ago to be with wife.

Further on he says they have been there for 15 months after arriving for a three week vacation.

I always wonder why people post these type of messages on forums. Do they really think a) forum readers believe these stories and b) are going to provide resources for them to get plane tickets/hire attorneys/pay off their debts?

Pulaski

If they expect that they are obviously unfamiliar with the stereotypical British personality traits of scepticism and sarcasm.

mikemike

Quick answer is yes!! ''wekome to da pilipines'' The on line fishing industry is alive and well and may not even be rivaled by our friends from Nigeria
