About a month ago, I was preparing for my umpteenth visit to Medellin when one of my facebook amigas contacted me and asked me if I knew XXXXX XXXXX, I didn't, so I indicated I didn't.

She met with him, and she was paid with a counterfeit bill. So of course, she got mad at me (Colombiana logic) since me saying I didn't know the guy must've meant we were BFF and I was setting her up to be scammed

Anyways, I put it out of my mind and off I went for my trip. On this trip I ran into another girl who asked me if I knew XXXXX XXXXXX and again I said No I didn't but I relayed the prior girls story. Once was strange, but I was willing to believe that twice was just a coincidence

Then once again, i got a message from a facebook amiga asking me, wait for it, still waiting? Do I know XXXXX XXXXXX? And so I decided to act

I have confirmed the bogus bill story and I've been able to confirm his identity. I can't stress how dumb it is to be peddling fake bills in Medellin, and while I would prefer to wait for him to qualify for his Darwin award, the fact he's dropped my name 3 times is a little disturbing.

I will likely start threads on CRT, Hombre and ISG in hopes that this inbred moron is a member of one site, if not all 3. If this is you, give your head a shake. The monger community is still small enough and my network deep enough that I can spread the word quickly.

But for now, I'll give you the option of stop using my name and stop passing bad bills.

Thanks

Well, let's see:

1, he got laid a bunch of times for free.
2, he dropped your name so you'll take the heat

If he's dumb, he'll go back to Medellin. If he's passing true counterfeit bills, dropping a fake Benjamin on a puta in Medellin is really, really stupid from a counterfeiter's point of view. If he's just doing something with Photoshop and a printer and he gave a puta or two a very obviously fake bill - at least to us but not to a dumb girl in a foreign country - then he's just an asshole.

I remember, many moons ago, WestFargo printing up some extremely fake bills - like 10s and 20s - and passing them around in TJ. It was meant as a joke, since the bills were only like 2/3rds the size of real money, but most of the putas actually had to ask a gringo if they were real or not.

The real question is why he's dropping your name. Have you argued with him in the past? Did you do the unthinkable and fuck "his" girl? Is he just a garden variety sociopathic monger? We get a fair share of those assholes in Rio, where they can't seem to mind their own business and like to start shit with other mongers.

If he is passing around fake $bills on purpose. If he ever goes back to Colombia. I don't see him lasting long because one of those puta barrio girls for sure is dating a "thug type" sicario who would more than willingly "take care of it" for some good free pussy.

If you dont know him, then how is he dropping your name?

Sorry Bro, I ran out of pesos and had to finish off the trip in style...

But in all fairness, those girls should have known better than to accept a million dollar bill with my face on it for anal...

What he does is use one of his multiple facebook profiles to add hot girls (like us all) he discovered that I was already friends with many of his targets. He adds them, sends a message saying that he knows me and trades off my reputation. To be fair, only one girl so far has complained of being burned with a bogus bill. The phony $100 USD note is a problem in Medellin. I'd like to think he was passed it himself unknowingly, but what could you buy that would cause change that would include a $100?

He may be dropping other names, we don't know. He first came to my attention when the girl he burned went off on everyone around after she was embarrassed trying to exchange the bill. The fact we have his real name and can easily cut off his accomModations is encouraging.

Right now I'd be happy if he stopped using my rep to open doors for his foolishness. I guess he used me once and now searches hot girls friends lists to see if I've already established a rapport first

What I find staggerring in addition to the fact he hasn't covered his tracks at all. Assuming he's not making the funny money, if he's doing this deliberately, he's buying the bills. You figure the printer wants to be paid so if this guy is buying the bills at 50 cents to the dollar, he just paid $50 to screw over a girl he gets for the equivalent of $75.

Who takes this kind of chance in Colombia?

That is unfortunate that happened to you Tweeners. Obviously you did not deserve that. I assume the girls to which you refer are decent too or you would not keep up with them.

On the other hand maybe this is just karma for Colombia. So many Gringos have been ripped off down there by Colombians that maybe things are swinging around their way this time.

Again, maybe this bad Karma hit the wrong people (especially you Tweeners), but Colombian scams and rip-offs have been hitting innocent Gringos for years.

That is strange, as you say, that he would not cover his tracks. A lot of dangerous people down there.

Never was a fan of Facebook. This is another reason for me to justify not taking the plunge into 'Social Networking'
