I suspect I am the one who confused things. I was the victim originally of Lee, the full story of which is in the other thread. Lee never ever responded to the situation. For the last four years, since the end of the post, with the exception of the small payment we received from Lee a year later after we found him in Calis, we heard nothing more from him and to be honest, I never expected to.
However, I have been looking on the forum and saw a new member, Merlin. Still I never realised that this was Lee back on the forum using a different username. It wasn't until I saw the Facebook page and saw Lee was a leading force behind it that I worked it all out.
I had to sit and think very seriously about whether I really wanted to bring this back up again. But I have thought about it and felt that it all needed being brought back up again just in case anybody else could find themselves in the position we found ourselves in.
I could even have lived with Lee getting in touch with us and even after this length of time, paying back the money he owes us. But he has chosen not to. If he had, I NEVER would have mentioned this again, indeed may well have come back on the forum to say how HONEST he was! But he hasn't.
I find it bizarre that he can advise others about crime and sympathise with victims knowing that he himself has done this to us.
Again, I invite Merlin to come on here and tell us his side of the story.
So I am sorry if I have confused people - it wasn't meant to confuse. Please feel free to ask any questions - I will be more than happy to answer them.
