similar email, however it was from the old email address. Lottery winner? Yeah that was there. Want to pay back money falsely obtained? That too.

Perhaps I should have replied to the original posters request "not positive, but I hear". I know nothing for a fact, much like the rest of us on this thread. Thanks

She didn't write that letter. Not completely convinced, but I think someone either hacked or spoofed her em account. There's quite a bit of evidence out there to suggest this, but if you have her other EM account addy, you might want to make an inquiry.

So, I don't think it's so much a scam, but rather someone is very pissed off at her and using the letter to get revenge.  

At one point in time, I really wanted to see Victoria. But a lot of unfortunate shit got in the way of that, and we both decided not to see each other, for different reasons. She got told a few lies about me, the then-mod was incompetent, and I decided she was just too unstable a personality. Finding out she was using Calgary's pics was icing on the cake.  

In other words, VM remembers me, and didn't want to see me, yet I got a letter offering me my session fees back. Now, I worked a couple of times in Queensland, Surfers Paradise is a lot of fun. While the hobby talent there is not great (there's a legal brothel or two in NSW, about a 45 min bus ride from SP), go to SYD or MEL for that, the weather resembles HI and the folks are great. Asian tourists frequently go down there to buy watches and jade.

I think HobbyCritic was referring to an email that purported to come from Victoria, but appeared in all ways to be a mass-email scam. Like some con artist had managed to get their hands on an email contact list of hers. Sort of a hobby version of a Nigeria-911 email scam.

...when you know what alias belongs to whom.

I wasn't aware he had a health issue. While he's not my favorite hobbyist, I'd never begrudge anyone who has a health problem. That being said, I do think it's hilarious that something comes up that's, well, unexplainable, it gets explained shortly thereafter as a health issue. I mean, whatever happened to wanting to spend more time with your family? So, please forgive my cynicism/scepticism, maybe I've been in town too long.

What I do know is that Poker Gent made an executive decision some time back, that I was an unfit client for Ms. Victoria, based on his misunderstanding of a post I made. What I also know about PG was that he was just another mark in town waiting to be fleeced, and he played that part very well.

Finally, I've pretty much made an executive decision to leave you alone (except to offer a compliment, which you've taken ungraciously so far); the problem is you're a fairly active poster, so we're going to be on the same threads quite a bit of the time. I mean, if you really don't care for my presence here, there's always your board,  G&L. You won't have to worry about me posting there ever (the downside of course for you, is that you won't be getting my login info, either . Can't have everything, I s'pose, but I can assure you I don't discuss you at all in EM). As it was, this post had very little to do with you. Since you mentioned OZ, I assumed you received an em too.

As they say in golf, over to you on 16, Chet...
