Sad story. At least there is some consolation in the fact that the scammer seems to be living a life of pure crap, living here

and with that gf. I wonder what he thinks every time the phone rings or someone knocks on his door. It could be anyone, perhaps even the repo crew. Every time a package arrives, what could it be? Something that really stinks maybe?
The fact is that in that part of the world and many others there are private agencies that collect debt. Where I come from their success rate is near 100% and they only charge a 20% fee that is covered by the person paying the debt. I wonder if the scammer has considered the possibility that he may be approached by such an agency.
What's wrong with that house? I know plenty of decent people who own a house such as this.
