Scams
« on: March 05, 2012, 12:54:37 PM »
Got approached last week to do some work, like.

Some guy in India wants advice on setting up a COllege of Management in SLOUGH, like. For Indians. rubschin:

Has "VISA SCAM" written all over it, but I decide to treat it as legit to see what happens, like.  razz:

Man suggests I go to India to discuss it further. I say yes, but want airfares and accommodation in advance. THis turns out to be a problem for some reason  rubschin:

I suggest London. YES!! I can meet the Directors of the new college in London BUT on no account must I tell them it is in SLough it would appear  rubschin:

SO I am not allowed to tell them where their own college is, eh?

This could be fun!!  :thumbsup:
