Haha, wow. If someone msged me on IM and asked me to give him my account # so he could help his "friend" get some money to his mom . . . .I'd GIVE HIM EVERYTHING!

rofl.

Not to laugh at someone's bad situation, but. . .This could have been avoided.

Haha, after what happened, he should have just filed a small claims case against the other guy's family just to fuck with him.

you linked to hook on phonics?

did you read that jumbled mess of text? :roll:

yes...while not in proper english only a moron wouldn't be able to understand what transgressed.

hmm, i really don't see the how suggesting hooked on phonics WOULD help someone understand something that isn't written in proper english.

Just reading this excuse for English is dragging my IQ down to Victor's level.

Richard To(10:26:36 AM): i did you a favor and i'm out 2000
Victor K (10:28:15 AM): Yes and i do feel somewhat responsible but you need to remember i had no fuckin clue either and am feeling the same and am in the same boat as you
Victor K (10:29:42 AM): Any friend is going to do a friend a favor i wouldve done the same for you but who can know that this was going to happen!
Richard To(10:29:56 AM): I DID
Richard To(10:30:08 AM): NEVER do anything with western union
Victor K (10:33:06 AM): I did not know till you told me about that after blahhh we need a fuckin miracle cause bad credit and no money is a disaster for me

Richard To(12:20:43 PM): wheres your friend
Victor K (12:21:35 PM): last time i talked to him he said he was out visiting relatives but i lost his number a few days ago my phone got jacked up

the instant i saw that, i know he's lying already. and the fact that he can't find the number is obviously lying as well. most likely victor was scammed, and needed additional funds to complete the scam, and there was no additional "friend." in the end victor made it pretty obvious he just wanted to forget about it and not even let his parents know, and didn't even care about richard at that point. his parents would have made victor pay richard back obviously. this reminds me of a situation with my "former" friend awhile back... and makes me just want to punch that guy in the face still even now.

Yeah Victor more than likely got a nigerian mail, wanted to keep it on the 'down low from his greedy homies' so crafted a story to a true friend than another was in trouble.

Regardless of what Victor got taken for, the deal between Richard and him is separate and he should make good on it.

He is typical though of today's people...they feel they should never have to man up on something and always profit.
