Yes, he does pay well at the beginning.
Which is what happened numerous times with me and my friends BACK IN THE PHILIPPINES (although we both live in the US now)

He pays well at the start then begins issuing checks. which all end up in the trash can cuz there are no funds. Bad checks from this guy!!

Prominent family??? What has that got to do with anything?

I dont care about getting my (or the tens of people he has scammed back home) money back.. just warning you people!

I can ask people from the Internatioanl forums to post their gripes here if that's what Biboy wants. All he needs is to challenge my claim publicly and we can post a link at the international thread and have the people with gripes post here. but then, that might only make it worse.

Im not out to ruin anyone's rep intentionally, but only offering a warning to those interested in doing riskier transactions with him. That means, if he pays by check or iou's... watch out!
