......permission to use part so of your posts, sir ?

Sure. Use away!

Appreciate the updates. If I were her I would abandon that account altogether. The whitewash game doesn't work. As you are adequately demonstrating.

Though now you tell me what she is doing my biggest concern is that she may lie and manipulate other people here to get money out of them. I chose to focus on the vape to keep this story simple, but there is plenty more. Ultimately she was able to get money out of me and that money will never be returned.

Just to clarify, I wanted a room in her house as an office because I believed she was interested to learn how to trade and had been watching numerous trading videos I uploaded to Odysee for her. On this basis I was prepared to pay money for the room. However, she asked me to pay one year in advance, with the excuse that she had to pay one year in advance for the whole house. This annoyed me intensely at the time (because monthly is so obviously better in this kind of situation where none of us really know each other yet) but I reluctantly agreed. In the end she was not the person I imagined she was going to be, she hadn't watched the trading videos I spent weeks uploading for her and from what I could tell she was not interested in putting in the hours of work required to become a great trader. So, we didn't use the office at all, she left the village after 7 months and now the house is up for sale again, confirming she did not in fact pay the whole year in advance. Or if she did and has received a refund from the landlord, why was she not even willing to discuss the refund subject with me? I wouldn't go as far as calling her a thief, but rather an opportunist who is willing to lie and take what they can from any given situation before moving on and potentially repeating the process somewhere else. From my perspective she has ripped me off and there is no way I will ever get that money back. Lesson learned. Many lessons learned in fact. I never locked my courtyard entrance before I met her. And now I do!

So yes, if someone here does not persist in letting people know the truth, what is to stop her getting more money out of another friendly person who falls for the same games?

I never realized the landing page was her artwork - (is the image of her as well ?)

WTF is going on with this platform???? Seeing that image makes me feel sick. And I think that's all I have to say about that.

In fact I do have more to say. I don't feel like posting here on blurt while that image remains on the landing page for newcomers. Out of principle I can't do it. Either she is in bed with the devs and they don't care about her actions in the physical world or this is an honest mistake and they are using the face of someone who in my opinion cannot possibly have the best interests of this community at heart.

Do me a favour and drop me a DM when it's gone.
