Sounds like this guy would claim to be Barack Obama if he thought he could get paid or get laid.

BB33,

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor.

I'd like to meet you next time in there.

I think this is him:

I wonder if Poolguywindsor knows him?

lol thanks fatty!

The thing was it took me almost 3 weeks before I wired the money to Mr.Mosgrove. I sell custom surf boards and stand up paddle boards all over the world and have done plenty of business with people with whom I have just met.
This is the 1st time I have ever encountered someone like Mr. Mosgrove.
To assume that it's my fault for giving him the money for him to provide a service for me is just stupid. I only wanted to post on here to warn people of the way Mr.Mosgrove conducts himself. I first came to Jamaica in 1980 , and again I have never met such a scam artist in all my life. I absolutely take full responsibility for my actions as they where dictated by myself with a clear mind. Again, I just don't want anyone else to fall for anything that this guy tells anyone. Jamaica is to nice of a place for this little rat to live.

gosh - this all sounds like a major train wreck - I'm sorry you fell for him - I am sure he talked a good game- I'm not sure how new you are to Negril , but if your willing to hear any advice from one of the jaded members of this yellow board it would be - Do not trust anyone - I mean anyone -its damn hard to live in a world where you can't trust but without a few xtra layers of tough skin you will get eaten alive. I can't tell you how many stories I have heard...

There is a thread on this board by lola about saying straight up NO -if you havent read it it may be helpful to you.

BB33 -I am really sorry - that is a horrible way to start your new business. I hope you come back to this thread - you need to live to learn - i dont want you to feel as if you were being judged here - a lot of the people here have been going to Jamaica for decades and have seen it all - I imagine you really wanted the guy to be legit and ignored any red flags he was sending - starting a business in Negril is a brave thing to do and I'm sure you thought he was a friend. Beware of scamming xpats - he is not the first or the only one - I am sure I don't have to tell you this, I have lived in resort towns all over the world and sometimes befriended people out of loneliness that I never would become friends with at home. That can be good and that can be bad. Thank goodness you got your boards - it could be a lot worse!

Oh lawd - don't let me meet this weasel. It could get ugly.

BB33 - thanks for the heads up on this low life and sorry you have to pay such a high price for your encounter with him. Hope your business is taking off and if you are still at NR next, I hope to meet you.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh hell no! Somehow I didn't see that animal abuse part. Oh lord don't make P and I have to stalk another piece of sh#t down the beach. Wouldn't be the first time for us.......

lol @ sophie and piney going after the guy
