Why is that? Does it seem like total B.S. - the whole post. Or, is it just the entire "situation" in general???
If I told you that I was, actually, pretty "wise to scammers," via, "life experience," would it make any difference to you? I'm about... 5th generation in real-estate, in my family, and I've seen WAY more wasted people make WAY bigger deals than this. This was not some kind of a planned ambush on me - it was a natural, home-grown conversation that started in a pretty inoccuous manner. Acutally, it was more at my own prompting - and the other guy was at least as wasted as I was. IDK - maybe we're both full of it?
I suppose I should start by researching if there are even any mountains in northern Somalia....
The entire situation in general
Life is strange... I suppose "reality" will rear its' ugly head in the morning. :D
Run for the hills bi5h0p! Sounds shady as fuck!!!
Probably because I made it sound that way. Have you ever travelled to Africa? Honestly, if these guys are trying to scam me for the cost of a license - they probably need the money more than I do. :D I'll consider it a donation to a non-profit, and catch a tax-break.
The small license fee is just the hook. The next step is a tax or a duty or some fucking thing, then there is a lien on the hoard that mist be paid, then an associate, finally, an assayer must be paid and on it goes from there... layer after layer intil you have invested enough money that the “next and last” expense is small... but it never stops and YOU never get what was promised.
But do as you wish.
