That stinks but you would have had to pay for that anyway. Also lets remember the thing goes for 600 usd new and it looks to be in perfect condition.
So quit your yapping. ?
I'm planning to sell this for EU 500 and split the amount with Tim, only because Ebrahim can't afford to repay us directly. This is a coulance/leniency, because we could've just forced him to repay us all. The extra tax will come out of his pocket. So no yapping here. Just stating facts. James, Tim and I are walking away without any loss. I'm just being clear about it upfront.

The advantage, Prof Capasso said, is that these "metalenses" avoid shortfalls - called aberrations - that are inherent in traditional glass optics.
"The quality of our images is actually better than with a state-of-the-art objective lens. I think it is no exaggeration to say that this is potentially revolutionary."
Sounds amazing.

I've received a transport slip from Ebrahim. I'll keep you informed when it arrives and what the content is. If Tim and I can sell it for EU 500,- then we'll split the amount that covers our expenses.
If the RF can't be sold for 500,-, but less, then I suggest Ebrahim covers the missing amount to cover our expenses. I think that's fair. But I think we can sell it for 500,-.

Simple.
Tomorrow five phases of attack.
1. I need everyone tomorrow to email me or reply to this thread that they, along with me, will reach out to his friends and facebook via instagram
2. I need someone who knows Arabic to translate the police report and to confirm that the post office was open today until 6pm. Someone to call them, please. Still have one hour left.
3. I need someone who knows Egypt to recommend a private decective.
4. I will post this thread on reddit and personal view - I will need you guys to upvote the thread so it starts getting seen and going viral
this thread goes to anonymous.5. I will reach out to anonymous. I was part of Occupy. That may help me reach out. I need everyone else with connections to anonymous to help.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY:
I need the original scam victims to be okay with all this. We are pretty much going to ruin his career.
This is a big step to take. He will not be able to practice dentistry. His family may disown him. I repeat, we may ruin his life.
I honestly vote to give him a one-day extension before we ruin his life.
No matter what is wrong with this kid, do you want to live with that on your conscious? I don't.
EDIT: let's take this elsewhere

I had hopes for you @Ebrahim Saadawi, now you pay the price.

The only problem with this most recent love fest is the unexplained FB post where he mocks Tomas for falling for the scam. That is not the behavior of a kid who made a stupid mistake out of desperation... but you guys want to give him a second chance?! You probably think it's your fault when your wives turn you into a cuckold too.
Zach was banned for overly promoting his t2i in the goober way that he does and I don't hear any cries for his return, but you want to give a pathological liar that has repeatedly lied and stolen from this forum a group hug...
I know who to sell my next lens to.
He said it to demotivate me from persuing him, not to actually taunt me. Not the best strategy if I may add.
I've said it from the beginning and I'll stick with it. He's a good kid, I saw that from his profiles (that's why I bought in the first place, even though I'm the cautious type). He made some really poor choices and needs to address his catfishing habits. If this thread is a new beginning for Ebrahim where he stays truthful, then it's much bigger than three guys getting their money back. He deserves a second chance at that age. Let's see if he follows through.

Tomas. Please contact Tim and you'll know it's all sorted out and you'll get a shipment confirmation of the lens first thing tomorrow. I am sorry for any trouble I might have caused you.
That's good to hear. Please take your ID off the thread. If a real criminal uses it for internet scamming, it will be very hard to explain...

Talk is cheap. Money talks. When all is compensated, we forgive you. No doubt.

I've joined a couple of forums specifically to buy something in their marketplaces before, nothing unusual about that. Drugs are bad, mmm'kay.
James is real, he found me through facebook first.

Just send it over @Ebrahim Saadawi. You have my address. Then your name is cleared.

My point was... Which I don't believe a hundred percent either, is that the whole thing is a scam, a made up story. There was no western union transfer. Have we even seen a western union confirmation slip? What did western union say when they were contacted about the fraud? I don't know, this scam by someone claiming to be a Ebrahim Saadawi probably did occur but at this point with this weirdo woven web, I believe anything is possible.
Yeah this is getting more and more tangled with every post. So, the logical conclusion is that the grandson did it for whatever reason, he needed some money, he got caught up with the wrong people... Whatever. And now, if the OG Ebrahim even exists, he is covering up for the kid, knowing the kid could get into BIG trouble for this since multiple international laws have been broken. Most likely OG Ebrahim has reached out to an attorney and will end up not paying because, that is some form of admission of guilt. But in reality, until OG Ebrahim confirms his identity through some form of video chat or by uploading a video of himself discussing the matter, there is no other explanation but to assume he never existed... Or has passed away since he joined this forum. Unfortunately there is probably little legally to be done, I'm sure the Egyptian authorities have more important things to do and I doubt Interpol will look into it... If they even have any authority or connections in Egypt. So unless there's a link to this kid and some bigger criminal enterprise, involving other fake forum members on this site and other sites... Doubtful anything can really be done. But this is seriously some interesting shit... If Ebrahim was here, he'd ask me to watch my language... Fuck 'em.
Wow. That's pretty damning. How could someone hack into his Facebook, EOSHD acct, and have a fake ID to pick up money at Western Union. PLUS have access to the gear that he was known to have. If you're logging into your Facebook, or forums frequently (which it looks like he does), you're going to see messages from 6 people inquiring about transactions. This was over a substantial amount of time too.

The jig is up kid. Pay up. If you've blown that cash, send the rangefinder now and proof it. @Timotheus and I will sell it and divide. If we don't receive compensation by 12:00 your personal network will be envolved. Put and end to this @Ebrahim Saadawi

OP here. The other 'victim', @IshootbeforeItalk, had this conversation on fb chat; he stated that this indeed came from the fb account of junior, which is (was?) rather extensive in personal info.
@AaronChicago the profile looked legit. Active and 1000+ friends. Here's a print screen I took of it some days ago.
And here's another detail you all should know about. Ebrahim 'Senior' signs off with a Gmail address in his response you can reach him on. But if you type it in Gmail, guess who's profile pic pops up...

Yes it's the exact same profile. Here's another print screen with his profile pic on it.

I checked out with slr magic if indeed ebrahim saadawi was included in the development of their optics. This was their reply.

Exactly. There are only two possibilities IMHO:
1 - Somebody nasty who doesn't like or is envious of Saadawi Sr. is attempting to destroy his rep. Hence the arrogant confession message on facebook.
2 - It's his grandson who is behind all of this and Saadawi Sr. is protecting him despite his folly and will give him a good spanking behind closed doors.
And for all the naysayers- he already said he plans to refund the people who lost money from his own pocket. What more do you want?!
He doesn't respond at all when sending him a message about the refund.

Psychoanalysis on him. What a self destruction. I hope someone hacked his account.
He had extensive knowledge of the rangefinder and showed me this picture, so it's definitely him. He also picked up the cash using his own identity.

Sorry to hear that but the douche is right with one thing: never use Western Union, only paypal since you can dispute the transaction there and get your money back.
If it was me, I'll go full scale against him on social shaming via FB, Twitter, his school, friends and all I could find to corner this little piece of shit.
Everything is already in place for that. This is the last chance to make it right. I also have some contacts in Cairo that are willing to drop by.

I think the kid is just young and stupid and probably wants a new camera really bad or something. It comes across as an impulsive deed, not something structural, because we have all of his personal information (address). His confessions online. I found his brother and sister online, all of his friends and three of his professors at school. He comes from a good family and a good school. Right now it's still contained to this forum, so he can still make it right before it spirals out of control. PS what happened with Philip Bloom @jase?

Unfortunately I (Tomas) had the same experience here. When I confronted him about it on Facebook this was his reply. See attachment.
Found a single focusing lens

Lens looks gorgious. Looks like an adjustable stretch with those markings.
