I'm really sorry to hear that you've had such bad luck. What a crappy thing to happen. Those people knew exactly what immigrants have to go through as they must have done it themselves - how absolutely lower-than-low to then do this :curse:

Funny (not really) but I sent a pm to this person a few months back as we had been toying with the idea of moving to Whangarei. They never replied - probably because they wouldn't have been able to scam me as I was already here

I find this unbeleivable.

From what I can grasp this is nasty.

I'm definitely me, a plumbers wife living in Mapua and a big scary monster I am too.
I have never met Batty, but I believe she is definitely her.

Seriously. C'mon folks. Someone must have met Phil01 or wife either up in Whangerei, Auckland, Welly , somewhere. Who is up that way ? It would be good if our truckers could at least have a 'conversation' with the couple about this issue. I live in the hope that this is a misunderstanding of some sort.

Default Re: Beware of recruitment agencies, namely.....

There did seem to be a few other people on the forum that were quite pally with him & her and I think that there was some off forum contact going on. (They know who they are and it's not for me to name them)

Reading back through 'his' posts though a fair few did seem to be made by the female half of the couple and they're quite easy to spot (some of them were overtly aggressive towards myself at times which is why I eventually put 'him' on ignore) seemed to be very touchy about Australia.

They've covered their tracks very well through right from the start haven't they: seemlingly no trace of either of them on the net, nothing given away by any of their earlier posts, lots of contradictions too.

What is interesting is that the guy used his first post on here to 'promote' the recruitment company which was supposed to have helped him out. That suggests a fair amount of premeditation to me, the woman using the 'K.H'. alias suggests that they were deliberately being deceptive. Hence the reason why I think that this isn't the first time this sort of stunt has been pulled, I'm sure that it won't be the last.

We've seen it before on the web though haven't we - people dreaming up little business ventures and then setting up mutliple user accounts one to promote the thing and then pretending to be people who have been satisfied with the service or product . Comes to something when you have to start doubting people's motives when they are making recommendations about something makes you wonder how trustworthy they are in the other aspects of their lives.

Fortunately not too many people here have been taken in by this couple, may be different on other forums? I think one ot two other posters on here are still in denial and won't admit that their judgement on this was poor.

I feel desperately sorry for those who were conned, not just for the fact that they lost money but because they were so comprehensively duped on a personal level and their trust was abused.

Jill, I was so sorry to hear about all this.
I suppose one nice thing really is that you have a lot of support from people here, I know it doesn't get your money back, but people do care.

I'm up north but a lot further than the people concerned and don't know them at all.

big hugs xx
