Scammed

So I broke the cardinal rule and sent an airline ticket and then some $$ for a potential houseboy to come visit. made it clear it was fine to leave his clothes on as it was more a meet and greet to see if there may be a fit.

had a good vibe about him. though got my first red flag when needed his info for a plane ticket and he was 5 years older than his post (Taylormade_4u which disappeared after he didnt show). sent $$ through western union. was received in Louisiana by Derek Green born 3/29/77

If I had read some of these other posts about the various "Derrek's" on here I couldve back tracked on my initial red flag.

Realize now anyone not within close proximity I need to visit first before doing the airline tix. def leaves a bad taste in your mouth. sounds like houseboys run into encounters of their own.

Just wanted to share in case someone else comes across this guy and may happen to read this before parting with their $$

As they say, " a fool and his money are soon parted"

take care and good luck to everyone on this site!!
