I don't know where some people get the front from living a life of lies deceit and from what I understand and have read a scammer and a possible pedophile and now out right begging. I would love to meet him for want of a better description to show him the error of his ways  >:(
Or punch him several times to head and body

I get at least one email a week that arrives in my Junk Folder that doesn’t look much different to his pathetic pleading.

If he manages to persuade any one to part with single penny you can look out for my own Crowd Funding Campaign relating to my losses associated with the poor performance of White Lady in the 2.30 at Kempton.

" It is illegal for a foreigner to work without a work permit, although you do not realise this initially"

Strange, we told him that in 2004! And 2005, 2006....Here he is 13 years on pleading ignorance.

For the sake of honest, trusting people locally and the good reputation of British citizens with the Turkish people over there, please do not pledge one penny to this scamming, woman threatening & bullying, lying, stealing, deceptive liar - he is in the correct place now.

I might start a Justgiving appeal to raise £3,000 to ensure he stays there - money well spent.

Amazing he can say that the court cases were carried out in Turkish so he didn't know what was going on. What language did he expect them to be in? Regardless, my understanding is the State do supply you with a translator free of charge (well they did us   :) )

WTF the man is totally deluded and wouldnt know the truth if it hit him in the face. He is a perpetual liar, crook, scammer and more.  He should have put a bit aside, of his illegal earnings, for a rainy day, or a spell in prison!!  The sickner will be when he gets back to the UK, he will be given a roof over his head and benefits.

I will be very careful here. I have asked for assistance locally in finding out more.  It appears that for certain crimes it is only immediate family members who are able to get info.

You can make of that what you choose.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for getting in touch.

JustGiving Crowdfunding allows people to raise money and donate to a cause they care about online. To look out for our users, we run an electronic ID check on each page owner before the funds are transferred. This is to verify that they’re exactly who they say they are. We also hold their full name and address.

We do have some Crowdfunding page guidelines which were set up to protect users of our Crowdfunding platform - you can read them here: https://help.justgiving.com/hc/en-us/articles/202895531-Page-Guidelines-if-you-re-Crowdfunding-.

Anyone setting up a Crowdfunding page will need to adhere to these guidelines and our terms of service, as well as meet our identification requirements.

It is a very rare occasion that we choose to remove a page as we do not feel that it is the place of JustGiving to determine which causes people would like to donate to - I do hope you can understand this. Like many social websites around today, in general we do not intervene with who can use our website to raise funds or donate – it is up to those in the community to decide what they feel is a worthwhile cause that they can place their trust in.

Thanks again for taking the time to put your concerns into writing.

Thanks, Helen

Distasteful as his whinging, self pitying attempt to con money out of those who don't know him is, part of me is glad they didn't remove it.

Two reasons.

We complain about the crackdowns on freedom of expression in Turkey, yet by wanting the page removed we are acting in a similar fashion - albeit from a moral rather than authoritarian perspective.

The second reason is somewhat more vicarious  :) the longer its still there, and the longer it goes without so much a dried up dog turd being donated, then the longer this individual stays locked up.  Inspector can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it if the fine isn't paid the person stays in prison.

I have mixed feelings about it staying -agree with both your reasons and would add a third, that it shows this pathetic, scheming conman as exactly the leech and liar he is - but in the "against" corner:

1. Websites with good intentions should not give convicted criminals a platform to beg and/or use deception to attract sympathy/money

2. While it is allowed to stay there is always a chance that some secret millionaire liberal might be taken in by it and pay it.

The escalating debt, moving further and further from the possibility of him ever being able to pay it is my preferred option. Fethiye deserves that.

I don't think any of the crowd funding web sites have "good intentions" high on their agenda, good profits maybe given the commission rates they levy.

It's down to the diet that dogs are on these days. Back in our time, dogs were fed mostly raw meat and bones which had a high calcium level. Hence the white, crumbly, almost odourless doggy dos. These days their diet consists of high levels of cheap rice and grain, or kibbles. Hence the unhealthy, smelly, walnut whip type of doggy dos.

Have a nice day.  ;)

Do what my brother did when we were kids......
He used to wrap them in news paper and put them on nosey neighbours doorsteps and set them on fire. He'd then ring the doorbell and when the door was answered the person would automatically stamp out the fire.

Looks like Fred West has more chance of walking free from prison than Brian Chambers. Good news.
