This is all over the place, much like the issues in my home right now. I started with exploration of the Dotties Global Holding LLC site, which I recommend visiting. A very impressive company for a Trailer Park Woman. The fake sites are getting very involved these days with AI being so invasive (yet fun. I have such mixed feelings!). Then he goes on a lengthy yap-a-thon about movies and books, which I mercifully have deleted, and offers up with a list of books I should read that he has never actually read himself 😂. This is all to pass the time and keep me on the hook, so he can pester me about the transfer and calling to check on it. Iran still needs the money to "fix their broken country," like any American would say that? It's more like "so the gas pump won't say $5.86 right now." Next, I have a real life plumbing issue and multiple household events that I just exaggerate and fit into my bait because what else can you do? I'm not about to stop now! None of it tops his needs of course, as he sweats the transfer. But then, Judah sends a text to Irv that the tanker is safely in the UAE! Great news! There's ONE more part tomorrow, then the reveal on Friday. Bonus art from Madison today, she's been busy and will have more!

He now knows he can Google "Gary Douglas, Florida" and find some options that also have addresses. The first one, yesterday, actually had too much information and I was able to find more information on him. He's a Pharmacist. So Gary Doug comes up with yet another property (he's a real estate mogul) and this time he's able to provide a search that's pretty convincing. The address is actually owned by Gary Douglas! I am finally shown the proof! This leads to a stern "we'll talk about this later" in which he will " give me correction" as they say. You can just feel his smug sense of success as he provides yet another mule, and I go to yet another bank to get a final transfer done. He really believes he has finally won!

Just when I think he's done, he comes up with a surprising new idea. Ordinarily, I would have pursued this for more content, but real life had gotten complicated and I just couldn't. If it was like the "SK delivery guy" with Tommy, it would be a series of pointless verbose emails, and I was just too worn out to add that it. But it was interesting to see that he still had others involved here. He provides an unsolicited SSN, and I can't look up the actual person (need to be an employer to use SSNVS) but I assume it's a victim/mule. But I did ask which state it was issued in. It took him a while, but he googled that the first 3 digits indicate that (until 2011). He was proud. More importantly, he provides me with an entirely different home address in Florida, because he has also learned that if you enter a name like "Gary Douglas, Florida" you will find a person with that name, and an address! This will be further explored tomorrow, and he gets super confident with his new knowledge, believing he has finally won! So cocky it's delightful, and way better for a reveal on Friday. Three more parts before then, but this last gasp stuff is fun.

I decide the best thing is to hop on the train and leave town, which is so easy in Chicago! I could be in Wisconsin eating cheese, who knows? But I'm back into the boring stuff with him, and still trying to get documents or immediate video calls where he can't arrange any AI. I can't find the magic moment to reveal and I'm not satisfied that I've worn him out. He's sus, but not defeated. At the end here it seems like he might get me a car title, so I'm hanging in for my love of documents now. He's obsessed with Irving's threat at this point, my phone will be taken (!), and the urgency is intense! But I still want some collateral, so he'll come up with weird another idea in the next part.

Once on the way back from Pittsburg, I was stuck in a holding pattern at O'Hare for 45 minutes. This feels like that, and I keep wondering if we will ever land this plane. The Reveal Moment has arrived and it is a strong feeling, but the magic entry point keeps eluding me! Which will continue for FIVE more parts (I've finished my edits and just now realized). But I admit, I've got a need to stick around for his new efforts here. No wonder he calls that game we met on "Scramble," it's what he does and who he is. By now, we've gotten used to his lengthy preambles to telling yet the same boring nonsense, and like minute 44 on that plane, I'm about to lose it. But then, he comes up with a delightful opportunity to play a Reverse card, and it's alive again. A new Squirm, and a fun return to Diane, as Madison re-enters to torture him with Irving. Let's keep going!

At this point I'm living to rip apart the lies, so while I'm waiting for the Embassy to confirm the validity of his photo, I attack the home ownership issue. Since he admitted earlier that the Heathrow Masters address wasn't his official top secret actual home address, I get busy with the other address he gave me as the "legit" one. He denies that address and I send a screenshot as proof that's what he said, dang it. Later, he will change his story 3 times about his home 😁. It's the ultimate obstacle but honestly, the only thing he believes he can prove somehow. You'll see, it's worth the wait! Anyway, I've sent proof that yes, you can find Lake Mary homes listed online, despite their top secret status. Including his, that I want to buy! He's getting pretty miserable, you can feel it, so I demand a video call immediately to make things worse. He is starting to feel the impending doom, I believe. But I'm going to stretch it out. I earned it.

All I do now is tighten that vise and keep demanding proof. I've never done it to the extent I do with him, but nobody has ever asked me for $336k. Seems reasonable. But not to him! Not at all. Still, he senses that he'll have to at least make better attempts, and it gets easier than the driver's license was. Which says to me that more of the gang are getting to believe this money is a possibility, and more false hopes are being built among them. Possibly talks of their fantasies for the payout. So, things will become smarter and faster as we go along, and he complies more easily. Still, after reading the Diane texts here, he gave Zangi instructions to delete all photos and screen shots for both of us, which made later editing much harder. I keep my own constant screen shots, with all their fluff, for safety. But you'll see overlaps, where a photo is deleted from the actual texts on Zangi, and while doing the final clean up for posting, I have to locate my original screenshot to replace it. Which made him the hardest ever for final posting, and amped up my angry demands nicely. I couldn't find any picture of the embassy entrance in Oman, just the huge adjacent administrative buildings that all have horizontal brown stripes. I accuse him of AI anyway since we all know he wasn't there! Some American embassies are quite beautiful and known for their stunning architecture, but I'm thinking those in the Middle East are pretty generic. Good luck searching. Anyway, I also argue more about the "Wedyan" vessel, which the actual owner (Bahri, Saudi Arabia) says IS out of the conflict area but they will not disclose exactly where it is now, for obvious safety reasons. He chose badly, just based on news of the July 7th "stroke" and damage to that tanker. But nobody sticks with ALL his lies as well as Douggy. Or Gary. Or Doug. Later I'll get busy with the house address issue, and it gets more interesting.

A picture in an Oman exam room, in the festive Hawaiian shirt we all like to wear when going into hiding. "What is this? Can you imagine? Nonsense! Rubbish!!!" as we say in Nigeria. Douggy Gary Doug is in a vise that is going to be slowly tightened for the rest of this lengthy bait (5 more parts after this, then a couple from Irving!). It's funny that here, he's mostly threatened by (and threatening) Irving. Because he's a man and actually knows things, and has power. But Linda is giving him equal grief, yet he's steadfast in his belief that he can manipulate a woman. He even believes that Ashleigh will get special treatment at the bank while being detained and questioned, being a "lady" (boy, IS she!). I manage to gloss over his questions about the background in the Check photo and explain why the reference memo is no big deal and will help him at tax-time. No problems about my own questions though, he reassures me that he will fly straight to Chicago to be with me and explain everything THEN. They are so convinced we are still yearning for that, no matter what. So you will go to the bank. Just do it. Now.

I have so much time with him, I go ahead and start putting the screws to him about his lies regarding hotel rooms and home addresses and whatever else. It never stops until this is over. I'll keep amping it up, so I can enjoy the denials and squirms from now on. But I made a mistake in this one by taking a photo of the u/delzbr fake cashier's check on the same counter as the prior one, and he actually catches it (NEXT part)! Why does a bank in Michigan have the same countertop as my home in Chicago? 😜 I actually think the jig is up as I ignore his accusations, but no. He carries on. It seems that the Michigan mule has had enough, though? He gives me another address in a different state now, wants 3 separate checks sent there, but it's too late. Ashleigh never reads my texts in time, dang it. Still, I still want to help Douggy Gary feel loved, and send him a gift at the hotel. A Rolex? We will never know since he suddenly leaves and doesn't bother to check the front desk for it. He's busy with drivers being shot, and has gone into hiding. This guy. I can't keep track of all his silly stories! Hope this won't be on the Test

He doesn't seem to like this current plan one bit. After starting off with another diatribe about dealing with Iranian negotiations correctly, he orders "do what I tell you," then begs Linda to contact Ashleigh for a change of plans. But she's too busy banging around the Dunes and then Detroit to answer texts. Besides, why would she schlep that cash back to Chicago when she's already where the recipient lives? Once Ashleigh is on a Mission, you know she will see it through. Eventually.

The start of another Ashleigh saga, and it seems she's taking the kids to Michigan City on the way. None of this fits with his plans, it seems. But my only concern is expediency, which suddenly becomes unimportant to him? I have a picture of the tiny brick home there and a great AI of Ashleigh from Madison, I'll put them in the next part. But anyway, I think he's gonna have one pissed off and paranoid mule on his hands this weekend. I wish I could be there in real life, banging on her door with a box full of fake money!

He's sweating it out while the transfer is pending, but then Irving discovers problems with his address and cancels it. No worries! I'll just take that money over to my other bank in Kankakee and get Ashleigh to solve this issue. Things are only going to get worse for him now 😁😁😁

The fun of starting a collab is that it makes them palpably miserable about things. I love how much they buy in to the threat of Irving, and the hope of Diane as an end-around. Here, he lies about what she said, but of course Madison and I keep in touch and know what's really happening. We decide that Diane secretly tells me that my money has been transferred to my Chase account, and now I have unexpected control of it. So I scurry over to the bank without Irving approval, and send a quick transfer to the new account he provided. Then he sends a message that surprises me about a text he wants me to send. I speculate that he's made a deal with the mule and wants to lie to the Aza that I wasn't able to send any money because of Irving. But I'll leave it up to you to figure it out!

So many things! I'm not sure how the Bluevine bank account got shut down, it happened very fast and none of us had reported it yet. I did report the another he gave me, but not this one. Anyway, it added a little joy! But now he's all about the urgency, so unlike a driver's license, a new account is sent very quickly. This part blends with u/MadisonCembre (Diane) post yesterday, so you'll want to read that before or right after for continuity. All he does now is press constantly and text early all weekend, hoping this will happen at light speed. Which, I point out casually, wasn't important for what I wanted. You can send his frustration with that. I always love this part

After a long delay to cough up a fake DL, he gave his account info, and now expects a light speed transfer. During that time, as expected from all scammers, he will try to remind me of his love along with continuing desperation and fear. To get me further committed to this. Too bad I'm not. The bank info is left out because it's an online bank and the owner of the account was a bogus company, but more about that soon.

Okay, a couple things... This gets choppy because he deleted things later. How I do this is to screen shot things as they come, then do my own deleting and edits later. So I had to go back and get my original screen shots which still had some things that I had deleted myself, later. It's a confusing overlap, but only where the license finally arrives. You gotta roll with it 😉. The thing that killed me about this was that he was texting with Diane at the same time, and sent her the unmarked license right away, at ONE request! I guess it's obvious that he "knows which side his bread is buttered on." I can't believe I'm so old I'm using that saying. Anyway, it's finally here, and he really set me off with this 🤬

My phone is still iffy so I wanted to get one out quickly today while I work on it. Like I said, he has made this harder by deleting things, so I had to search to find the Diane texts that Madison sent to me and he deleted from our texts. I can't imagine why! Anyway I didn't get to entertain myself with edits, just loads of deleting about politics and other boring things. But this is only crap of him trying to weasel out of a driver's license still, and a vague possibility of a smaller Ask for hotel fees. Which I discourage, because with Owen, he had a fresher ask for a gift card and it almost blew it. Just stick with the big stuff! We're at a crawl here, you know how it goes.

This post took forever, my phone is fed up with scambaiting. This is the guy who would do it! I have taken screen shots as quickly as possible but he also deletes things so I'm trying to piece it all back together. Here, he finally gives an account, an online fintech company that apparently partners with a bank for financial transactions. I don't know about you, but that's a red flag for me. No thanks. Anyway, in the next part that account goes sour so who knows what happened. He still refuses to send his ID and insists they must "obey" me while blaming me for the loss of smiles on family faces. I desperately try to shove him off to Diane (Madison) so we can double team him. At least that adds some entertainment value to this endless battle of wits.

He needs to borrow $336k, but without the need for all that icky personal information. If I glass through my head enough (ouch) I can find another way! Nobody can say so little with so many words. But all I really need to know is that this is too transactional and impersonal! This is about safety and human lives! Oh, and he hates Jews.

Things get complicated now that he has realized this isn't just "between us." The onset of The Squirm as he processes friendly and cooperative texts from Irving then returns with his complicated reasons for not being able to take such a risk. But it's super fine for me to risk "loaning" $336k without so much as proper identification. This will be an ongoing focus from now on, as I struggle to at least get a driver's license, and he gets less lovey and way more belligerent
