Yup that's about the size of it.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1912318]And there is my good buddy who moved from Sosua to Philippines. He is an old retired guy living from check to check. When he got here he got involved with a chick for a few months then the chick died. I wanted him to come visit me in Thailand but he could not because he said he was taking care of his dead girlfriend's daughters. I checked him right there and told him that was not his responsibility. He got all pissy with me about it. The other day he tells me come to find out the chick did not die and he gave away more than $1000 on some bullshit (70+ Black American guy). You know what I said. I told ya. I told ya.[/QUOTE]Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I know who you are talking about. Ironically though, I think he got a little bit of con / scam artist tendencies himself. He tried to get me to loan him money for some BS. I wasnt even there 24 hrs, when he attempted to hit me up. Later, claimed he had the money in the bank all along, but just did not want to pay the ATM fees. Of course he didn't mind me having to pay ATM fees in order to loan him the money.
Not surprisingly, he claimed the loan was so he could help one of his chicas. I didn't loan him the money and he must have had a problem with that, because I barely saw him the rest of my trip, except one night he made himself available to have a meal that I was treating him to. After that, haven't spoken to him since. And to be honest, I'm not sure I would have got paid back if I did loan him the money. He lives there. It would have been real easy for him to make up an excuse of why he couldn't pay me back. But I eliminated all of that, by not buying into loaning a grown ass man money. Especially under those circumstances.
