My concern for my animals runs fairly deep.
It was only weeks after we had picked up the first batch that I was faced with the prospect of re-educating myself over what these animals really are.
Cows are in many ways like people. They have feelings, get hungry, Angry and in my case a few of these animals have developed some kind of Familiarity towards me. Surprisingly, it is not unknown Nowadays for a particularly playful animal to bump into me and then follow me around just to be annoying. I do believe that there is something more here than just animal curiosity but having said that I cannot develop this kind close bond as I am not a cow. Likely, the animal is smart enough to know where it is headed and usually this is a ploy to prevent me from sending them to the butchers. It's a crude thing to say, but absent of any other explanation, this is the best I could come up with.
Scammer#2 Knows about cows. His knowledge and experience with them is exactly the thing that I need, but also he doesn't like Scammer#1 or Partner#1 from the previous post. He uses this to sell himself. I don't blame the man for trying to impress, but he shares my concerns about the animals and sells me his experience and knowledge. I did actually trust him, but periodically, people (my worker (s)) would complain about him, the way he was helping me and the cost of it all. It was from here that my suspicions originated from, and from then on, a small but ever increasing rift started to grow.
This Scammer knew that if he was to continue being a supportive and contributing party, he needed to have some control over my workers. This is to prevent the truth of what he was doing from coming out. It seems he was all out to conquor my supply of workers, by proposing his relatives and friends in order to have some degree of control over my site, but only in a way to stop them from talking about the truth.
As the weeks rolled by, it was becoming clearer that there was something wrong. Remember Partner#2? This person has had dealings with this Scammer before. Not only does he know this person, he also knows his habits. Partner#2 tells me never to allow this scammer to enter your site as any kind of employee. The way this scammer works is by slowly turning the screw, such that he gets to walk away with cash in hand for work he hasn't done using fake invoices, lies and actually getting someone else to do the work for him.
I don't know about you, but it seems when somebody offers you their solution for money (aka contracting) they are responsible for the work they have done. As it stands, the guy wants none of this responsibility and uses the progress on the site as a means to extort money. No Money no Work. I soon find that this lizard not only is working toward that end but is also looking forward to the possibility of me hiring him as one of my workers. Excuse Me, what was that? Of course the answer is 'not a hope in the fires of Hell!!'.
Things come to a head though after a long and protracted game of hide and seek, in which this scammer finds himself at the losing end. He has lost his real full time job, because he stole money from his employer. Oddly enough it was me who told his employer about the missing money, just a few hundred, to use his bosses lorry, over the weekend. The money went straight into his pocket. When queried by his boss, I said I paid in full all the time. To which his boss replied that he has never seen a single cent of that money.
Booted out and nowhere to go he turns to me. I wont have him, not after what he has done. I tell him you can stay here, but no work and what you do here is your business. In other words I couldn't care less. Angry, He leaves the site only to return a few days later attempting to start a walkout or general strike with my employees. It works for a day or so. After that I clamp down on my workers. No more favors for you lot, and no more TV (something easily achieved by letting the generator break down and feigning ignorance).
As for this scammer, He left the area to go back to his own country. I heard on his way back he stopped by in every major city, probably using the money he has to indulge himself. It took him a month before he got there, with money that he pocketed from someone, me, his bosses or one of the other 'recommendations' whose wages he pocketed after I had paid it out to him. Either way, He's gone and he's not coming back.
