I talked to him over the phone, and he had like, a deep "indian" accent and said he was (or his ministry) is based in the UK...

uh?

[AccordWarrior]

I hope that's not your real cell phone number.

That screams scam.

joking, sounds fishy

[lil_dcb7]

fuck.

[deevergote]

He's got you collecting donations and sending the money to him? Wow... nice scam! He's scamming a bunch of people at the same time, with you as his agent!


Also, there are very many Indian people in the UK. My friend took note of that when he was in London earlier this year.



Don't deal internationally. Chances are, if you're "employed" by an international "company", they're just using their location to get the best of you. You can work for a month, "earn" $2000 doing whatever, and then they disappear. They never pay you, they profit off of your labor, and what are you going to do? Find them? Unlikely. If you find them, then what? Pay a lawyer $10,000 to get your $2000 out of them? Probably not.

This is similar to my reasoning for not buying engines from Canadian importers. International lawsuits are difficult and expensive... the smart scammers know this and use it to their advantage. Deal with US based companies.



And "Pastor Paul Wilson"? How many people with thick Indian accents do YOU know named Paul Wilson? No accent and an Indian appearance, ok. Thick accent... yeah...

I dont get it, is this sarcastic?

[MadSpleen85]

I dont think I have heard any stories about these "we ship to you and then you ship to someone else" schemes ever turning out in a good light.

Dateline got involved with something similar to this a while back and just tried to trace the trail up the ladder to the head person, who was supposedly a semi-attractive lady.. Just turned out to be two guys that appeared to be of Indian decent that lived in South America..

Danny Duty.. That still makes my laugh when I hear it. Later

[deevergote]

I dont get it, is this sarcastic?

Honestly, no... It's an impressive scam.

[ExplodingCake]

Scam dude.

Why the donations be going to your address instead of the ministry? That's pure BS.

[Ilikebigbutts]

lol danny i thought you were smarter than that.

[AG17CB7]

I don't do online resumes for this such reason. You should've asked for his number instead of giving yours out.
