I thank you all for your comments, owed actually $14,500 is true. I first started talking to William around November 2020, he told me about his life. I told him about mine. Then March 2021 he told me he had money problems because he had moved to Cambodia, his company was in Thailand and he was waiting for his new bank card. and could I lend him 500$. He showed me documents. His company was then named easy rich holding company. He convinced me with documents. And Korean bank transfer to his company. Again I lent him more money. Then he had hotel problems so I lent him more money. This is when Alastair got involved. He convinced me that all will be paid back. Then they showed me documents from containers been sent to Thailand from India. The covid in India meant they couldn't send the containers to Thailand unless fines were paid for the delays, they showed me documents. I paid the fines to get my money back. But never any money paid to me. I helped but I was scammed. Having lent so much money to them I felt that if I didn't help them, I would lose all my money. Stupid me. What a complete idiot. These are professional scammers. Not one but two.

That would be comical if it wasn't so sad.

I think I need to have head-to-head with this chap, a few home truths. He needs help. We all do, so I'll take my documents along.

A snail with a housing problem...

A divorced snail, as i call them

You guys are weird.
In Australia a slug is a big fat penis.

...and the snail trail? Is that more female-related?

"Wierd" in good way, right?

Nice. Is that how you can tell they are male?

Oh i wouldn't dare gender-outing any particular hermaphrodite specie in these times.


But you know why the divorced Barbie is more expensive, right ?

Getting a little Trigger-Happy there. I wonder if Dom padded the baby slug before the friction.

As for 60-something Barbie (B), she was originally the idea of a sexy-doll wannabe (quite common pre-internet), when she saw a German adult-toy hooker doll. It then became a Pentagon Engineer's creation, subsequently head-hunted by Mattel, to give B joints, and bring her to life. However, it was not until she grew a belly-button at 40-years old, meaning she was no longer a replica (in some eyes).

The Wannabe's daughter, Barbie, has the prototype. Her son, Kenneth, also has a prototype doll.

She was the first adult-replicated toy, in the US.

B has siblings too. Skipper is a brother. There's the twins, Todd and Stacie, and the other twins, Todd and Tutti. There are others.

Tutti was kidnapped, and never found. Nobody was convicted of any crime however, Stacie shows up soon after, claiming to be the real twin (pre-DNA).

At 38-18-28, in the 60's (and still today), B began a teen modelling career. B took on a slumber party girl look and introduced a weight-loss book. One piece of advice was "Don't eat."

She is the only professional tennis/basebal-playing Astronaut-come-Thunderbird Squadron Leader, that is also a gold medal gymnastic Olympian, UNICEF Ambassador for sign language, whom combined her Surgeon's position with her NASCAR commitments. In her spare time she juggled her Zoology studies with her rapping, while an officer in the Army. She even found time to win American Idol and Miss America.

She was only a presidential candidate, however. Somewhat of a failing, by my standards, so I lost touch thereafter.

Incidently, the Wannabe sued Mattel, unsuccessfully.
