The truth hurts, but you need to know it (part 2)

(Continued from the previous post)
.
It’s not unusual for anyone to be taken in by this kind of non-threatening and (pretend) nurturing attitude – it automatically allays suspicion of any kind. It’s difficult to assign any sort of suspicion to someone who tries her best to get on your good side from the get go. From my experience, she always apologized and tried to adjust her situation to mine. It’s like I was made to feel like I was the only important person to her in the whole world. And again, if that sounds corny, I can only say that I hope that no one else gets snared in this kind of sticky sweet trap.
.
I liken the whole experience to a fly and a Venus Flytrap – even the name is appropriate – she lures you in with sweet nectar, allows you to suck on it a bit, and then her jaws shut, and it’s your turn to be sucked up dry until you are left with nothing.
.
I am very grateful that I came across you guys at Thailand Investigation (through this blog, coincidentally) that I was able to get some closure on the things she took from me. I believe the law prohibits me from divulging any details in a public forum, but suffice to say that I got some of what I lost back. Not all, but some is better than nothing. And the culprit is now being held accountable for the crimes she did.
.
And mind you friends and readers, the deception does not stop there. She even tried to create some sob story that she hoped would soften my heart. My answer was to have the story checked out by Michel and his team, and it came as no surprise to me that her story – every single detail of it – was utterly and completely false. When you listen to it, it’s well inter-woven, and doesn’t sound like a cooked up lie at all. But of course suspicion had already set in, and it pays to make sure. These people are smooth and sleek liars, let me tell you. Really, if you didn’t think twice of thrice, you’d be caught completely – hook, line and sinker.
.
I say to all those people who dismiss people like me and say that I was stupid, yes, I was stupid. But I would never ever underestimate these people. They know how to assess you and appeal to you, and no one is perfect. It’s not like I never heard of cases like mine before, but still, I got into all this trouble. Underestimating these people will be one of the biggest mistakes of your life.
.
Anyway, my thanks again to Michel and his team for undertaking my case with all the due discreetness, accuracy, efficiency and professionalism possible. My only regret is that I did not hire them earlier. I really wish I did. By allowing this letter to be posted here is the least I can do to help Thailand Investigation help other people by making them empowered and informed.

More power to you all.

Best,

A very inspiring story, I am glad you put it down to the end. To Mr. John Doe, whoever you are bro, all the best to you. You have been through a lot of bullshit and those of us who have been through the same relate with you very well. And I salute you for telling your story here and trying to share to others the lessons you have learned. Sometimes when you think about it, everything seems so easy to do, but when you are directly concerned and involved, it is a different matter altogether. Kudos!

John: Thank you again for sharing your experience with us and also for trusting us with your case. All of us here send our warmest regards and wish for a much better future for you. You’ve been through a lot and we know you’ve learned a lot of lessons as well. All the best!
Haru: Don’t put yourself down too much. You’ve also been through your own struggles and you are not alone in your embarrassment of what happened to you and what you went through. Many others feel the same way. What’s important is that you learn to rise above it all.

thanks again, Michel and everyone, for your help with my case. I consider it a great honor to be of help to your blog and your business. What happened to me isn’t something that makes me proud, but to be able to put my story out there and help people not experience what I did makes me feel great. Even to have just one person empowered by this post makes me regret everything less. But no one can really turn back time, and at the very least I can turn what happened to me into a learning experience not just for me, but for other people.
