I wouldn't rule out such possibility, indeed. But people with any kind of health problems need and deserve respect from everyone.

OK, Ebrahim, you're doing your part now. Thanks. Past is past. Only present can stand corrected and you're doing your role to finish and be complied with the refund. It must be, of course. This is NOT proper of a scammer, OK? Any insult to be posted here is mere abuse and derogatory of the poster behind. I've seen the poster Ebrahim to lie without mention his crime but I've never seen him to insult any one of you, his detractors included. As same as all of his posts I've read for years. There's only a poster from his account, now I firmly believe so. This polite attitude has earned my respect and admiration. The humble tone and above all, his most recent posts. Oh yes, I'd feel comfortable to invite him to have dinner at my home now. And I'll be glad to meet him personally if/when there will be a chance for. Let him fulfill his word to everyone. A wise community is the one balanced and fair. He deserves a second chance as all of us when we are wrong. Who didn't commit a mistake in life? There are different grades for sure. To accept the difference is also a proof of decency. I'd even dare to write: M-A-N-D-A-T-O-R-Y. Don't ask what you can't give back.

Now, there are two posts of the thread! Ex aequo :-)

LOL Post of the thread! (For sure... ;-) (He's the guy!)

I sent you a private message a couple of hours ago in order to help you out. Why haven't you answered yet? Much busy? ;-)

Nice comparison :-)

Yes and no. The proof is that you committed a public crime, with years of membership in this community where you reached the highest rank beyond the owner of the site, hence the rage over here. What would you be expecting for? In the past, you'd have dozens of likes each neutral post of yours... LOL Who dares today?

The most funny would be to conclude that assessment may be pretty accurate in the end. A bunch of international scammers. What a plot! LOL And you, Ebrahim, why don't you come here again to put your input in such fair doubts? ;-) No one can reasonably believe your grandpa ever posted over these pages, maybe he isn't even able to speak a word of English... What do you say on topic without any of that customary BS?

He has also been referring himself as 21 and the supposed father/grandpa 63 in some other post IIRC, so I guess that 19 remark pops up from his outdated signature written two years ago, once he comes to be referred in some other sources as 21-year old individual. You see, Ebrahim? You've already become such a legend...! : D

Proportionality. Seems the key word. Hey, isn't Timotheus one of the scammed ones? ;-) (Man, my 10-likes rate per day is already reached)

Indeed. Interesting reading. Complex character, he is.

Sorry mate but I don't buy such POV. It simply doesn't match my values : ) I've met people from all over the world. I've even defended "naive Westerners", such as a couple in vacations from a native town (coincidences happen!) of a good friend of mine now (made on dvxuser & reduser) from "third_world* demons" :-) So, dishonest people I find in all latitudes and longitudes. * Actually, they were native Romans to live in Rome.

In such case, it would be more a case of professional help than a criminal case. So, let's have some pity on this dude, I guess, no? ;-)

Well seen indeed. But, let's not buy the drama, OK? No clue what your experience, guys, in business is, as matter of fact, but more than twenty years of route in the industry tells me that you're more able to find crooks than honest people. So, that's life. He's just a kid, a smart ass, whatever bad names you want to call him, but he's just a flawed human being, after all. No need to fry him in a pan. Ebrahim, you're a lucky one... Imagine if you had lived this life in the middle age! ;-)

Better Mods abstain to do anything. It is up to Andrew to do something if any. With ups and downs / downs and ups, IMO the thread goes very successful so far. There was a triple scam and the community has handled the matter on your behalf and in benefit of people getting scammed, as well, the scammer kid in order to provide him a fair lesson of life. It is up to him now and ever to succeed. PS: Funny, that's my 444 forum post, arrived here: *no more reason to cry out for banding free!* : D

And this is addressed to your detractors, Ebrahim...

Good advice to you, Ebrahim! Take advantage of this whole embarrassing situation. Now that everyone knows your story, you can even enlarge the basis of people with eyes on you. Once they're really curious on your talent or lack of it. Wanna more motivation? This must surely challenge you. Once again, everything is in your hands! :-)

That last line is both terrific and terrible to the guy who may come to produce it.

Quote of the thread!

LOL Superb, Anthony, in one of the funny moments of yours ; ) Who said motion picture is not entertainment?! ;-) Even a forum dedicated and powered by DSLR filmmakers is. No need for decades of film background in our stereo or mono signature! : D

Young fellow, you are in a difficult position. Open the whole game. Make a video, touch the hearts of these people! Show the most you can. Of course, avoid any lies and usual BS, at your best. As much as you're able to from down of your 20s. It is still in your hands! : ) I'd even dare to post that you are a sorta legend of this community now: take side :-) Sarcasm, if any, not intended.

Indeed, one of the brightest posts over here as same as this last one from Lee Kelly. Scammer's fault to begin with, anyway. He also had the chance to not enroll himself in more nonsense and he was very sloppy against himself. Reason why I think this community should have been more alert to make the right choices. It hasn't helped him at all. Neither lack of mercy on his confession. Innocents? Where are they??

No reason for. This has been a criminal case, not a big one, really, but one of a kind. No less relevant seems to be, however, the rehabilitation of Ebrahim. Everyone deserves a second chance. That is, as second step to follow the refund but should be no less crucial for all of you.

LOL Only 4-6 hours? His girlfriend's fault? ; ) Ed, you mention facts, that's the difference to save your ass ;-)

Good list, Ed. Unbreakable points : ) In any case, I think this thread could/should only exist for a while at least. Until people receive their money back. No reason to not close it from now on, though. The deeper the more shit to hit the fan. Do you imagine his face when will be morning in his country? Let him alone, he even risks to become a sorta martyr. Not fair to anyone :-)
