In a period of just 3 days,
i convinced a "doctor collins tom" to come visit me in "australia"
he made a hotel reservation at hilton sydney and i verified his reservation number, its for a room for about 1.1k per night Shocked

. i just need to hold him off untill 4pm austrailian time tomorrow, the 19th, and he will pay late cancelation fees!

I have a feeling that he used a stolen or forged credit card for that booking, and he's going to be suddenly forced to cancel his flight anyway.

Well supposedly there is a brother and sister in ghana, and she is very sick. They had a beneficary in the us with all the paperwork in his name, but he became to greedy and they dropped him. Now they want me to be the new beneficariy but it will cost 750$ to change the paperwork. Doctor Collins is supposedly a worker at JFK international.

I don't think he will travel for $750. His flight will def be cancelled for some reason

i know his flight willbe cancelled but he booked the hotel and i convinced the idiot that banks in austrailia are closed on saturday and sunday so i cant go to bank till monday. meaning he has 3 nights of the hotel at 1.1k per night

He wont be paying for any hotel. They dont just go out of there way to pay a $1100 hotel bill in the hopes of having you send $750. If he has booked the hotel, then he has given a either a stolen credit card number. which means that some other poor victim gets the bill, although they could get out of it due to it being stolen its still alot of grief for them. Or the credit card number is no good at all, most hotels take your number. the first 4 digits will verify its a visa or amex or whatever, but thats all. they dont attempt to make any charges until check in, when they do a pre-auth on the card. then actual charges are done at check out. So the hotel wont find its a bad card until they attempt to pre auth or charge.

And some hotels will even book a room without a card number if you tell them you will pay cash on check in, although they ussually only do this during the slower periods of trade so it doesnt matter if they dont show as they couldnt have filled the room anyway.

I guarantee it won't be much. It's so unlikely that a lad would spend 13K on the premise of getting $750.

It's unfortunate, but I hope that the booking falls through.

3 days is record time.

Welcome. Very Happy
