Dear friends, fellow bodybuilders and sports athletes both men and women, to those who know me and have supported me both physically, emotionally and mentally I thank you and my life is still my own thanks to you. I wont mention names because you already know who you are, and furthermore I wish to thank all those for thier understanding and signs of good faith. I know times are hard and this sport and what we do makes it very hard for people to trust individuals and always leads people to thinking the worst, just remember not everyone out there is bad, turns bad or becomes a scammer. This has been without a doubt the worst 6 months of my life and just as it feels like things cant get any worse, they do. I used to be able to support myself, look after those who looked after me and sleep at night and have the respect from a few that I admired. During the time in business I have learnt alot, not only about others but also about myself, in the 6 months I lost my girlfriend, my home, $10,000 +, now my car and as each day goes by it seems more and more like my family as well. I had nothing and always intended to clear my debts before I get out of this while I still can. I know a lot of people turned on me, alot of people spoke good to my face and then evil behind my back, I hold no bad feelings and can understand the mentality of people when it comes to these kind of matters. Ive been scammed 4 or 5 times during mu existance, 3 of which effected me greatly, that was for $2500, then $4500, then $10,000, the others where reverse scammers. I kept on believing despite not being able to sleep at night or for more than a few hours and never stopped believing, my friends have been great and been there for me, its not always easy to get a message accross through the internet but here is mine, thanks so much and from the debts I have, many of them small I plan on doing this:
To anyone who had an order for over $250 please send the order to [email protected] and they will be sent to you by another respected moderator, any debts under this please send WU info and it will be cleared by Wednesday next week if not before. I will deduct $35 from the order to cover WU costs to all being refunded.
To you, and you know who you are, thanks for working with me, for that you have my respect and admiration for ever, this plan will work out and you will get it all back, I hope you know that by now, once again thanks.
Please e-mail with either the order information or the western union information and title the e-mail either WU info or Order info. As I said orders will be sent via someone else so I have proof it was sent and so do you, for another $10 deduction he will send it with tracking information.
What can I say, this has been an experience I wouldnt wish upon anyone and during that time I had no one or nothing, but that little bit of hope kept me sane and now im doing the right thing, I dont believe in scamming and despite what anyone may think or feel that isnt happening right now, I could have walked away, moved country, changed my name, but it isnt and never will be in me. To anyone who may be listening, keep the faith and never give up, as they say there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, seek the truth and the truth shall set you free.............
