And the ruse of being from Penzance is good cover story, they'll all weird down there!

 

Hopefully he'll get a lift off someone that's read this and be treated to a little walk in the woods.

Tough luck VI, but don't let it dent your kind nature.

Thanks Beau.

 

On the bright side, the Policeman collating information on this guy's activities is called Officer Dibble!

 

Put a smile on my face last night:001_smile:

 

Sorry that you got stung, but this might give you a smile.

We had one bobby in Dorchester called Richard (Dick to his friends) Clapp! Beat that.

Or a lift from someone who really is from Penzance. Remember the pasty thread?

 

VI if you hadn't tried to help him out you probably would have gone home feeling bad about your self anyway. Its scum like him that degrade human nature

Tough luck.

Sorry to hear this VI, I got done about a month ago in a very similar fasion. £105 all I had in my wallet. When I realised i got conned I was kind of impressed with how well acted out it all was. Then I spent the rest of the day trying not feel like a frightened old lady. I really don't view myself as gullable or anything like that, just like you I was just trying to help someone out. It does knock your confidence in people and I felt very stupid.

One of life's little lessons I guess

Sorry to hear about it VI, told the missus over dinner, she says, how gullable, imagine how much a blonde with big boobs would get.......she's on her way down now:lol::lol:

 

Seriously though, gutted for you, if like me £250 a bloody lot to lose, really hate con artists scum
