A few points from the 600 I could write about your cockroach of a friend.
1. He has been posting about coming into money for years on end, every October that I can remember - indeed he refers to it coming imminently in 2011 on his own Facebook page, you can look today and see that. No surprise he has a reputation for being a bit of a story teller (and that's putting it nicely).
2. He is working illegally as far as I understand. Can you post a copy of his work permit to prove this as incorrect or withdraw that comment.
3. I have in my possession several documents written by several single women who confirm they have been threatened and bullied by Chambers - yet none from any men. Is this part of the "not illegal just unfortunate" nature of the man you excuse his behaviour with?
4. Why is he not permitted to leave Turkey? People looking to pay for holiday villas would be interested to know why, before they send their hard earned money to him.
5. I understand he has served time in prison in Turkey. For the same reason as in point 4, could you confirm whether this is true, and if so, for what reason?
6. Can you ask him, when all he wants to do is "to make enough money to survive during his enforced stay in Turkey", where blocking people on Facebook then starting vendettas against them in a hidden, cowardly fashion fits into that?
7. Why does he operate under at least six aliases in one tiny town?
8. He is welcome to join CBF at any time to explain himself, under his real name. He was banned in (I think) 2007 for pretending to be his own happy customer (he couldn't find a real one) and for abusive comments to other members of the forum. I'm not sure what cock and bull story he gave you.
I hope that this is the correct way to respond to this post. I have no experience of any form of social media so please forgive me if I have got this wrong.
Incidentally, I was led to believe that on such forms of communication it was usual to use an alter ego. Again, if this is incorrect I apologise. I am surprised that none of your Wagnerian participants have not taken me to task in that case for my choice of username and email address.
Or is that perhaps just a little bit too subtle?
With regard to Point 1 I can only confirm what I know to be the case. My one and only interest is in admissible FACTS, not rumours or half-truths.
It was actually 2012 when he first mentioned this. It refers to the same transaction. Because of the complexity of this it has taken some considerable time to come to fruition, hence why I can say that it is likely to be December and that the amounts will be considerable.
I can confirm also that he is NOT working illegally and, in the circumstances, does not need a work permit.
If point 3 is correct what EVIDENCE is there that the facts contained are true. Unless it is a sworn statement, anybody can say anything without fear of reprisal. I can only repeat that if I receive a sworn affidavit outlining these complaints, I shall ensure that they are fully investigated.
Point 4/5. Unfortunately, this matter is sub judice. The only parties that are privy to this information are the Honorary Consul in Fethiye, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London, his attorney and myself. I understand that it would be considered a contempt of court to divulge such information at this time. However, if he is not permitted to leave the country, surely this would give confidence to a prospective customer, knowing that he could not fell the country..
Also what has happened to Mustafa? I thought that he was supposed to be unravelling all of this information. Perhaps he has also come across the same problem.
Points 6/7. Obviously I cannot comment on this as I have no knowledge of it and, as mentioned before, I can only do on FACTS within my own knowledge.
Finally, he has been advised not to participate in any forum, as whatever he says will not be believed.
I was only trying to set FACTS which I knew to be correct straight. I did not realise that it would open yet another can of worms. Clearly I cannot comment on things that are outside my knowledge. Unlike so many on this form, I do not accept any evidence that is hearsay. This is why such evidence is not admissible in a court of law.
It goes without saying that I have not received any telephone calls, visits, or any other form of direct communication with regard to this matter. is this for the same reason that nobody accepted his offer to participate in a meeting chaired by an upstanding member of the community to iron out all these problems?
I regret that I simply do not have the time to participate any more on this topic, as there is nothing more that I can usefully add. I am still prepared to reply to any individual query if it is sent to my email address.
