Oh my god! Did you call the ambassador? Aren't you supposed to be finding Nicole's real kil... I mean alerting the media to the ambassador's inaction on the horrific abuses middle classed white Americans suffer in Korea?

hey i had a couple of pals that just very recently also got done over big time by this gripper...alais me gal pal didnt leave his office for 7 hours and hounded him..until he finally came up with another air line ticket for her fella..which was legit. At this time there were also about 8 others in his office. Hes a mighty rascal is he! Anyhow me pal had some great support from a real good fella whom owns a restauarant here in Twon, and between them they scribbled on peices of paper and got a decective onto him...so as I know it...apparently his scam tis gonna be on its way out real soon. I am still in contact with the resturant owner whom can probably fill me in on the most recent...

Very simple:

DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM A NIGERIAN UNLESS YOU CAN TAKE IT AWAY WITH YOU IMMEDIATELY!

THAT GOES DOUBLE WHEN YOU'RE NOT IN NIGERIA!

Is it OK to say that they put the "nig" in n___er ? Well no, I guess, not... Embarassed

- best not to tar everyone with the same brush, lest many good individuals and families be offended ... (I must 'ave gotten that "n" word from watching too much Dave Chapelle on Comedy Central...)

Me and some friends were also scammed by him. We have been in contact with the KOREAN CONSUMER PROTECTION BOARD and have been dealing with a chap there. He is writing up papers for us to have him prosecuted.

Racist..pfft...

Realist.

Anyway, it's your money. If you lose it to a stupid scam anyone with the sense God gave an avocado could smell a mile away, then so be it -- at least you will have the warm feeling of not having been a racist and the scammer might even have an ephiphany that, not unlike Diogenes, he has found the one non-racist white man. . .

Once he stops laughing, that is.

Why is he racist for calling Nigerians crooks? The world is made up of a wonderful mosaic of different cultures and races. A fantastic rainbow if you will. There are good and bad people of every color and creed. We should celebrate diversity in all of its splendor. Arent we all human? Dont we all bleed red?

My wife and I were also scammed by this guy. I started a topic about it about a month ago. Contacted the Korean Consumer Protection Board also. They said they can't do anything to him for us because he said, in writing, that he would refund us the money within 45 days. The deadline is coming soon. If we havent recieved our money we are going to take it to the police.

This guy's name, face, phone number and businesses should be made a sticky so nobody else will get pulled into his trap. It seems more people have fallen for it than I thought!
