I would laugh. Like, I really really want to LOL but I'm just silenced....

Edit : Forgot to add, I saw this on the local news last night and was actually offended that I live within 60 miles of someone like that. What a prized plonker.

To fall for it once is incredible, to fall for it AGAIN under the pretense of helping someone who's been caught by the same scam... I'm speechless.

Much obliged, sir.

See also: a Canadian who pretty much begged to be repeatedly scammed out of money by the same fraudsters. What a credulous twot.

Relative of yours, Meaty?

I was feeling quite sorry for this chap until I read
Quote:
Following this he was contacted by another woman, again from America, claiming she had also been caught out by the fraudsters.
He said that he helped pay her legal expenses and the cost of hiring two ex-FBI agents in an attempt to regain the lost money for both of them.
Mr Symington said that he now believes that these people are also involved in the scam.

NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!

OK it's been ten minutes.. Now it's funny... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The funny part is that lately my Myspace inbox has been fuckin ruined by constant emails of this type. Surely he must have had a jar of glue when lots of hot models started contacting him?

Eee, I bet he thought he was fighting them off with a shitty stick.

I don't think it was actually all his money. The article mentions that he is in huge amounts of debt.

Unbelievably stupid to fall for the original con let alone the sting that followed.

The thing is Grim (and I'm not being predjudice saying this) the Mugu that had his pants round his ankles probably didn't even have the ability to string together a single coherrant sentance.

Again, I'm not being predjudice here but I would lay money that the bloke has never EVER had a bird in his entire life. Surely you would add two and two together and realise "Hold on a sec, I'm no darn oil painting so what's the crack?"

I dated a model once. Not a glam model she used to model tight Tshirts for Hot Topic (black haired goth with stretched earlobes and spikes etc.. She was gorgeous tho..) and it took three months for it to sink in that she actually fancied me.

Yeah - I guess he took out some loans / maxed out his cards to get all the cash to send.

Mind you the news woman who interviewed him (Meridian) said "I bet you feel very stupid" So the embarassment didn't end just by getting skanked.

I don't even think I could bring myself to tell anyone if I had done something so terminally dumb.

'It said that it was all false and that Angela was actually a man from Nigeria', Mr Symington said.

Best thing I've read today-but 'gas fitter from Wem' would have been better for me

Fred kicks ass. I was actually gutted when he took his break in the summer. TBH I don't think I'd watch it at all if it wasn't for him and the smiley old bird who sits next to him that looks like a siamese cat.

Have you been down this end long enough way to remember it as TVS chinny? IIRC it was renamed Meridian when london's was called Carlton.

The smiley old bird is the one getting the axe.

I used to live on the border between the London and Southern regions. Therefore I had the mighty Thames during the week and LWT at the weekends. TVS wasn't renamed, it lost it's license to broadcast. Thames and TVS lost their licences at the same time (Dec 31st 1992) along with TSW and Good Morning Britain. The 1992 franchise round was the beginning of the end for ITV.

Fred announces that TVS is fucked:



See that building in the news headlines? That's one of two proper studio facilities TVS had in the region. What do we have today? A bloody tin shed in Segensworth! Fucking disgrace!

[edit] Fuck me, that's Fern Britton before the cake and gastric band!

haha that's quite funny, we actually have something in common then..

I lived in London and spent a good 3-4 months of the year in Hampshire.. Never realised they lost the licenses, just thought they were renamed due to modernisation.

Learn something new every day :)

Man.. Thinking about it I used to look forward to watching TVS more than anything in my life at the time.

I'd watch the news in London.. "Today in South London a teen was stabbed to death" or "Today in Brixton there was another drive by shooting... Another case of mistaken identity?"

And then we would all load into the car and three hours later we'd be watching TVS... "Today an old lady in New Milton lost her cat.. please call if you have seen 'Timmy' '"

Amazing really.. Making that transition once a week and then for 6 weeks in the summer was almost like visiting another planet.

Edit. Next time you see "NO TO ECOTOWN" on the news Chinners keep an eye out in the background. I've been right up for waving one of those green signs lately.

May god burn their bums with fire if they fuck with Ford airfield. Assholes.
